Hi All
My current exercise regime mainly consists of 3 x 30 minute walks per day. One of which is on a treadmill and I try to push it but have a dodgy knee so 3 minute intervals 5kph and 5.5kph respectively on a fairly steep gradient.
I really need to introduce some strength/muscle exercise to maintain and exercise the areas where walking has least impact. It was suggested to me that a rowing machine can meet these needs with out having to resort to weights etc
I'd appreciate your thoughts or experiences?
Please take into account that I can't see myself being a Gym member and am not keen on lifting weights etc
