[QUOTE="Shar67, post: 1093755"] Well I do some light weights and rowing. It certainly makes me feel great, when I can do it. For me personally legs and arms have benefited, the bit in the middle not so much, but I think that is me and my other health issues. I don't think anyone should under estimate how hard it is to do correctly, you need to build up slowly. I would say do 5 minutes, then rest, for how long is up to you, then another 5. When you go to a gym they normally say do 20 minutes, I think you shouldn't be doing that straight off, but build up, 10 minutes to start before going for 15 then 20, once you get there cut the rest periods down by a minute each time so you then after a week or 2 you can do 20 minutes straight. Also start with a low resistance and build up, 4 on a concept 2 is OK to start. Remember warm up before and stretch out after any exercise. I also do slow row, fast row, but that is for the whole 20 minute exercise, and don't worry about distance too much, your not going anywhere. [/QUOTE]
