Row, Row, Row Your Boat!
I fell in love with rowing the first time I tried it (in a fitness studio)! The only issue was I didn't get to choose how much rowing I'd be able to do each session and I always wanted more.
After a few years of this, I finally decided to buy my own rower. And I love the NordicTrack RW900 Rower! It is very smooth, has lots of workout programs, and a super big monitor. You can choose from so many workouts (in beautiful settings), do your own workout, or set up a program on your own with iFit too. The huge monitor is super nice, making it more fun to do the workout programs (on gorgeous lakes in different places around the world). Or you can watch a movie on the monitor while rowing!
There are a couple of things that bother me a little bit though. The seat is a little wobbly and small. And the straps on the foot pads don't go tight enough if I'm not wearing the right shoes (ones that have a wide base). But I think the seat is just different than what I'm used to and I just need to get used to it. I'm totally fine once I get moving.
I do really love having my own rower in my home gym, and there really isn't a better option out there! So I'm going to continue to row, row, row my boat on this fun piece of equipment! It is just such a good total body workout!
