Fancy something a bit different when you go into the gym? Lots of people only seem concerned with pounding away on the treadmills of lifting heavy weights.
The indoor rower is one of the best workout choices you can make. It's non weight bearing, low impact and is a great combination of strength and cardio.
This morning I knocked out 3x10 minute stints at my Threshold Heart Rate or race pace which for me is around 1:54/500m. I had a few good minutes of recovery in between with some easy jogging on a treadmill. That session was not for the faint hearted believe me!
I don't suggest you go for anything like that right away- build up gradually. When you are building up your levels of fitness and strength check out http://concept2.co.uk/ for some great ideas and some cool charts to see how you compare- sure way to fire up your motivation!
Ditch the hamster wheel and train smart!
