Well done!

Still going, still losing weight and noticing more changes - mainly my traps are really dramatically different, and my face is more defined, and I'm closer to getting in 34" jeans. Long way to go though! What Muscle groups does rowing not work? I kind of feel I need to do some other work on my shoul...

Hi. I'm 5"10 and 15 stones - so quite overweight. I want to lose weight and get into shape. I work from home so I get very little exercise. I've got a barrel like body with thin arms and legs - I want to get more in proportion. I've had a couple of rowers, but ended up breaking them - just invested ...
