I think everyone that goes to the gym has one (or maybe two) exercises/equipment that they just don't like. People I have spoken to have expressed their dislike for the treadmill, the cross trainer, free weights, boxing - really just about everything. For me, I have started to really dislike the rowing machine.
Why is this? I think it's because every single session I have to use it, and there is so many different methods of torture!!! I normally would have 1 session where I have to do 5 x 200meters, the next session 500m three times, and then the next would be a straight 600 metres and then the next is 300 metres three times.
They have me trying to beat my previous time, testing me against the 'pace boat', even challenging me against another person working out. Even with the free lancing I am stuck on the rower, one day having to do a total of 2.5km on the rower and another day doing 12 x 100 metres dashes on it.
I know they tell me that the rowing machine is a 'whole' body exercise, working your back, arms, legs and abs muscles - but every time they say 'it's on the rower next' and little part of me goes s**t.
