Any fitness equipment rowing advice?
I am big into fitness and weight training but i need cardio. I have a stationary bike that that just works out my legs. I could run but the neighborhood insnt the best. I heard rowers work out the entire body and its not expensive unlike a treadmill. There is this rower called Spartan Sports Full Motion Rower. Its cheap and really all i can afford for a 16 year old who works 2 days a week. I couldn’t find any reviews for the rower but I was wondering if anyone would not about this rower or if it looks good enough. Thanks!
Rowing is really good for your whole body, but be sure to check out online videos on how to row properly (try expertvillage.com)- it’s not instinctive, meaning that if you just get on it, you’re going to do it in the wrong way and kill your back.
I couldn’t find any reviews for the Spartan either, but you could try the Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine available at Amazon for $139 (with free shipping). It has really good reviews.
What highstreet shops, apart from Argos, sell cheap fitness equipment (exercise bikes etc)?
JJB Sports & Sports World both sell these.
I got my exercises bike from JJB for quite a reasonable price & they had a much wider range than Argos (and I cold sit on & have a try!)

Lifecycle Exercise Bike – For Fitness And So Much More!
I have been working out on my Lifecycle exercise bike for several weeks now, and I must say that I do like the results that I am getting. Before I started using my Lifecycle exercise bike, it was so much more difficult for me to get all of the physical activity that my body needs to stay fit and healthy. I would go swimming a couple times a week, but this just was not enough activity.
I know that swimming is the healthiest exercise that there is, so I tried to make it as everyday an occurrence as possible, but it was just such a hassle. I would have to head down to the gym, bathe, swim, shower again, and then head back home, and I only had time to do that a few times a week at most. In addition to that, the pool was only open for a few hours a day for general swimming, the rest of the time being dedicated to swimming classes.
Working out on my Lifecycle exercise bike is something that I can do at any hour, day or night. I do not have to make a big production of it, like I did with swimming. If I only have ten minutes, I can spend all ten of them on my Lifecycle exercise bike. When I used to go swimming, it would hardly be worth while to even go unless I had at the very least 2 hours in which to exercise.
Now, I get a workout every day, even if it is not always a long one. Although working out half an hour probably does more for your heart, I still would say that cycling every day for ten to twenty minutes is better for me than an hour of exercise twice a week.
There are other things that you can do to exercise aside from riding a Lifecycle exercise bike, but few of them are as good. Some people prefer riding a road bike to a Lifecycle exercise bike, but this only works if there are good bike trails nearby.
Otherwise, you will have to make frequent stops, which will totally kill the cardiovascular feature of the workout, and that is no good. Jogging is, in some ways a good alternative to the Lifecycle exercise bike, but it has some problems to. Unlike Lifecycle exercise bikes, jogging shreds your knees, and the health benefits can be easily balance by the long term costs.

What fitness equipment should I invest in?
I want to get muscles in my arms, I want abs, and most importantly, I want to firm up my butt and thighs and lose inches around both. I was thinking about Cardio Twister but I’ve read bad reviews about it. So then I thought Leg Magic but that works out the lower body.
Joey is right about the dumbells. You can get a good overall workout with a pair of adjustable weight dumbells and a bench (or exercise ball). In fact, here is a workout that you can do with a pair of adjustable weight dumbells and a bench:

Do adult three-wheel bikes give people the same degree of fitness as two-wheel bikes?
I recently bought an adult three-wheel bicycle, and I am wondering if using one will burn an amount of calories comparable to a two-wheel bike.
ANSWER:
Probably more as it’s heavier and harder to pump up hills. It’s more comfortable so you might find yourself riding it longer and burning even more cals.
