Not What You Think
I had high hopes for this row machine based off of the reviews/ratings. I am an avid fitness lover. I workout 5 days a week. I've been working out since I was 16 years old and I am now 30. I'm 5'6 and 118lbs. I love using row machines. I prefer rowing over any type of cardio because it's a full body workout. With rowing, you are not only burning calories, you're toning and building your legs, butt, upper back, abs and arms. Because of COVID-19, I'm not sure when gyms will reopen, and because of that, I purchased this product. This device is just a sliding seat (doesn’t slide the full range you need) with resistance handle. This is not a rowing device at all, and you can't get the same range of motions/movements as a true rowing machine. You only feel the workout in your arms and that's it. That is not appropriate at all. With rowing, you use your legs and your core as the main movement, your arms are supposed to be the final movement. This product only allows you to use your arms. I want to return this ASAP, but because of COVID-19, I might be stuck with this product because my UPS is not taking any packages from my community. If you are looking for the full body movement of a row machine, do not get this product. It's a waste of money and unfortunately, its money that I probably will not get back. Invest in a true rowing machine.
