Congrats on the weight loss! In addition to rowing, I do weight training and walk with my dogs. I also do daily physical therapy exercises for my arthritic right hip. Those make me sweat, too!</span><br /><br /><br />

hiya again.....yes, by all means break out in a good sweat, that helps a lot..<br />i walk on the treadmill when dr,phil comes on and i have a large fan in my exercise room, and i turn it on low and get with the program..<br /> i have had a heart attack and open heart surgery,so this is a must for me..<br />last year when i had my yearly checkup the cardiologist told me i had to lose<br />25 lbs..at that time i weighed 150 lbs and im only 5ft 4 in...so actually ive lost more than 25, im weighing in at 120 lbs now..<br />im 64 years young and i dont want to be a twiggy, but i am pretty proud of myself now..my body looks been than it did when i graduated from high school...i can still make some heads turn...hey i also , toot my own horn...but i ate as few fat grams as i possibly could and then id burn them up on the treadmill..<br />i challenge you, if you dont have a treadmill buddy, get one, or ill be your buddy, and we can lose and maintain at the same time..thanks..pat

You do realize this message board is devoted to rowing machines, don't you?
