Treadmill or rowing bike?

Question

My fav treadmill

Answer 1

Neither, either one would most likely kill me.
I don't exercise much any more, perhaps
doing gardening, running the tiller etc.

Answer 2

Treadmill for general fitness, cardiovascular workout and choice between calorie burn or increased muscle tone... but does nothing for abs or arms. Expect very strong legs!

Rowing machine does all the above but additionally tones abs and torso muscles. Not so great for leg muscles but they do benefit.

On the other hand there are more injuries on rowing machines than treadmills - usually caused by lack of warm up prep and a tendency to go all-out instead of pacing the exercise.

If you are restricted for space in your home and need to choose one from the two I guess the rowing machine would be top choice... although personally I hate them and would rather put a treadmill in an outside shed or garage!

Answer 3

The rowing machine is an all over work out. Whereas the treadmill is just for the legs and bum. But you have to be careful on the treadmill because you could knacker your knees when you are running

Answer 4

Treadmills are more common and easier to just hope onto for sure, but Rowing Bikes are definitly a better all around workout, not just for calories, but for toning.
