So treadmills and walking have been taking a toll on my knees. Stationary bicycling kinda outs a lil pressure on my testes. Elliptical though gets the heart pumping is just too mundane.
Then I came across an article about rowing. It said that it takes some stress off of the joints because you are not in a stationary position. You are constantly in motion. Today I did a thirty minute session, that is what I set the timer to on the rowing machine. About six minutes the first sweat beads start to break out. Approximately eleven minutes in there is a puddle of sweat between my legs. Six minutes and some change left, I was ready to give up. I pushed through.
I must say it did get the heart rate up and I will do them more in the future for my cardio day. That is if this is considered a cardio workout.
Also does anyone do or have experience with the 5x5 workouts? Would it be beneficial to an old bird like me?
