Funny you should mention that, Snoopy . . . I had just posted about that on the following thread:

I have found the rowing machine to be one of my best investments, to be honest, for the following reasons:
- you mostly use upper body strength to "work it"
- your legs get stretching and movement (without really using any leg strength or energy)
- you can (almost) get an aerobic work-out, i.e. increased heart rate
- it works your abs, buttocks, and arms
- it's kinda' fun, as exercise goes

- you can do it while watching TV

- it doesn't take up much room
I had gestational diabetes with my pregnancies, and would have to do 20 min of exercise after eating certain things (like banana's). I had to re-test my blood sugar after that work-out on the rowing machine (too fat to run

), and every time it would be back down to normal levels. (Hence, it must have been doing "something" for me

).
