Anyone got one at home?
Was after a treadmill really, but haven't got the pennies for it, so thought about a rower instead, need to improve my CV and stamina, and it'd help with the upper body etc as well

Girlfriends dad has one of these

Its great, really quiet and smooth and you adjust the difficulty by adding water to the tank.
He's lost 3 stone on it over 8 months that he has had it, rows 4 times a week for between 40 mins - 1 hour a time.

My mate bought a treadmill off gumtree and got a really good deal. It was straight out of a gym who were refreshing their equipment and cost him buttons (under £100 but cant remember how much under, he's tighter than a ducks arse so it had to be a good deal!)
Rowing machines are probably a better bet if you have neighbours in a flat, depending on the flooring tread mills can pound the ceiling of the flat below quite badly.

I had not, want to get my stamina up a bit, I walk 6-7 miles a day as a postman, so i've got good general health, but want to get my running stamina up for Hockey, so ideally want a treadmill, if not, then thought rower would be the best 2nd choice.

I've got a York MAGAIR 3000 rower, would recommend it. Think you can pick them up under 100 quid on ebay, they're about 250 new.
