Hey guys,

Is rowing a good low-impact cardio exercise? What should I aim for on the rower to get a moderate exercise? Resistance settings, duration, speed, etc.? I really enjoy using the machine (and yes, I do it with the proper form), but am I missing out on any sort of cardio gains by doing this for 30 minutes as opposed to a treadmill for 30 minutes?
>>
yes it is good low intensity cardio and is full body.

and no.
treadmills suck dick anyway, run in the street.

Sweet. My cardio is absolutely terrible, and I mostly do cardio on my days when I'm not lifting, so anything too intense becomes painful after a while
>>
Rowing machines are the shit. If I had the room and the money I'd get one for sure.

Right? My old gym didn't have them, but since I joined my new one I've been dabbling, and they're fun to be on and I feel great afterwards

Rowing machines are great cardio, recommend them 100%. Burns more calories than running because you are using more muscles more actively. If you are looking for times then:

>Under 8 minute 2k: Good
>Under 7:30: Better
>Under 7: Great
>Anything lower than 6:30: Fantastic/Elite

Around 4-6 resistance is similar to water and where you are most efficient for distance. It's preference though. This is all assuming you care about times.

Go rip some fat ergos
