You think you'll "bulk up" from rowing?

 

You can do interval training of 3,5 or 12 rounds of 2-3 minutes with one minute rest to simulate the rounds in boxing and get cardio. It'll also help your legs and arms because you push with your legs.

I recommend using it...its a good idea. Especially the intervals, because thats sports specific.

 

eating more calories than you burn will bulk you up. Rowers are dead sexy. get it.

 

Every Female I've ever trained has been concerned about 'bulking up'. It's the same with some blokes who haven't trained, they assume they'll just pack on loads of muscle if they do any training.
It doesn't work like that, especially with Females. They don't have the hormones for it and you have to do a large volume of work and eat alot if you want to bulk up.
It's highly unlikely for a female to build muscle easily.

 

A rowing machine has a large cardio component to it so it makes it even more unlikely that you could get bigger from it. You'll burn energy and your arms will get some stimulus so you'll get leaner and toned looking arms from it if your diet is suitable.

 

You're more likely to bulk up if you visit the buffet table every night. With rowing, not so much.

 

No, but is there any danger of her getting the Marc Singer-Beastmaster wingspan look (ie. thick back and some lats development)?

Which is exactly what I'm looking for...

For those in the know, do you recommend the magnetic ones or the water-resistant ones?

 

Total Gym, one of the Best bits of Kit there is, if you have imagination.

 

I use the rower about 2 times a week. Just wondering why noone joins a recreation center or volunteers at a youth club? Before I joined the military thats how I worked out and it was all free?
