I would say yes, rowing machines kill me.Originally Posted by Jeremy2007

I've done it in the past for a total cardio workout. Worked out well for me.

Like it
HIIT on a rowing machine works well. I have done it many times, i just usually run a longer interval 45-60 seconds because it just feels right to me. Great workout though! I highly recomend it.
August 2008 310lbs
March 1st 2009 249lbs
May 2nd 2010 262lbs
Been fluctuating a bit. I am holding most of my previous losses though.
Back to cutting starting May! I went half way in 09 time to finnish the job!
Goal is to see my abs!, and to never go above 12% bf again!

I tried HIIT on the rowing machine and I easily reached 95% of my MHR! I usually never reach that high when I do HITT on a recumbent bike! And the weird thing is that I didn't feel wiped out so I added one more interval.

What the hell? I was trying this yesterday for the first time and didn't find any difficulty. I have the form right (I watched a tutorial on how to do it)...maybe I wasn't going fast enough.
How fast do you guys go on it and can you increase the resistance?
