We own a Concept II so that is my major form of cross-training. You are so right -- it works many sections of the body at the same time. I usually row for 30 to 60 minutes but my most intense workouts are when I do interval training on the rower. On several occasions I have nearly tossed my chips from interval rowing. But to avoid injury I would build up to it. I wouldn't recommend doing intervals until one has been rowing consistently for a couple of months. I love rowing.

I rowed for four years and college and talk about the best shape of your life. Crew is so misleading because it looks so beautiful, and then at the end of a regatta allthe rowers THROW UP. So you know, a bit harder than it looks. I'm jealous our gyms never have working ergs.... erg workouts are an all body workout allright.
