Get Shredded!
Last few months I’ve been getting into rowing as cardio.... anyone of my over 40 brothers row? Gets my heart rate high and fast, non impact and in my opinion, is close to being a total body workout

On of my favorite quick workouts

10 rounds
2 min on and 1 min off

This will put it on you and fast

I use it but it’s by far the machine I hate the most in the gym. I usually do 2000m and I try to keep that under 8min but it’s also times I do 5000m, my best time for that is 21min. Fvck, I hate it so much.

Only time I really do cardio is in prep. I’m naturally pretty lean and keep a clean diet year round. When I do it’s just moderate cardio on the bike.

I used to row years ago. I would pace and race against the rowing machine. I always thought that was fun. I stopped after they got rid of that machine for a more basic rowing machine that does not have the interaction screen to race against. Got me thing I should give it a go again!

I don’t mind rowing if I have to do indoor cardio, but my strong preference is hiking outdoors.

Maybe some trail running in the summer.

I keep the heart rate low, and go for an hour or so.

That’s the only form of “cardio” that I can stand, running is like torture for me…so boring. I just added 250 of primo on top of my 250 Test E and I’ve been hitting the rowing machine for 60 minutes a day (no intervals, 60 straight) trying to cut some of this fat off I got during my Bulk. Down 3-4 lbs this week, so far good.

Only downside is my wrists, after an hour 2-3 days in a row they get pretty stiff. But yeah, love rowing.

Yeah I hear that. You can definitely get some extra strength work in

Hey man I was looking to pick up a rower for at home cardio. It seems like the smartest and most efficient form of cardio with very little, if any, impact on joints. What kind of rower do you use? Can you recommend any home rowers??

Mid-30's here but I use my rower all the time. My favorite is going hard until I get a sub 7 minute 2000 meters. That's when you know you're in good shape.

Yeah a sub 7 minute 2000 meter row is legit

Not 40, however, definitely include rowing into my cardio routine.

Hard work.
