EXERCISE FOR THE UNINSPIRED!!I CAN BINGE NETFLIX WHILE I WORK OFF THOSE BATWINGS!
I'm lazy. Let's just put that out there first, so you know what you're dealing with. When it's hot, humid, rainy, buggy- I don't want to go outside to exercise. And although I am lucky to have really solid legs (not a humble brag-just the facts), I have inherited my Grandmothers arms. Thanks, Grandma Gert *kiss*... So, I was looking for something that wasn't expensive but could cover all the bases I needed. Oh, did I mention I like t.v. as well? I do. A lot. And I never have time to watch it. So how was I supposed to avoid the summer swelter, work on those batwings, and binge watch American Princess? THIS ROWING MACHINE! It is simple, effective, and does not break the bank! It allows me to get a great workout (some of my muscles have issued a restraining order) and I have seen improvement in just two weeks. It has a calorie counter and a stroke counter which is all I need. For those of you who may be tall or very strong...the foot pads are a little short. It's no big deal, I just skootch my sneakers back off the edge a little, no problem...and after a while, the hydraulics loosen a touch- again, no problem for me, but if you are a 6'5 guy who skulled on the Charles River throughout your college career, and you're looking to regain your former glory, this may be a little rudimentary for you. All in all, it could be one of the best deals I've ever gotten on Amazon, and I love it. I got through American Princess ( I highly suggest that as well) and I'm on to Season 3 of Handmaids Tale... my arms should look awesome by the time I find out what shenanigans Aunt Lydia is up to...
