 Not Impressed January 18, 2008

I just got this rowing action exerciser and I'm not too impressed. It's made out of foam and doesn't feel strong enough to actually do sit ups. And the resistance is very light. Barely feels like a work out. This would probably be perfect for a 10 yr old?
 A decent price but disappointing product overall July 10, 2008

This fitness tool was somewhat disappointing. I was looking forward to using it for a rowing workout but the resistance is very slight. I am 5'4, so maybe this piece of gear is intended for taller people. If that's the case, perhaps a choice of sizes should be offered, or at least an indication in the product description of who the target audience is.
After messing around with the rowing exerciser, I was able to figure out a few core moves that work, and was able to do some arm extensions as well. Nothing extremely satisfying.
Basically, this isn't as intuitive a product as one expects. Eventually I gave up trying to wrangle how to use this on my own, and read the included fitness chart suggestions. There are six photographed exercises, all for the abs and core:
1. Rowing (lats)
2. Scooping (abs)
3. Double Leg (obliques)
4. Legs Side to Side (rectus abdominus)
5. Curl Up/Roll Up (rectus abdominus)
6. Boat/Teaser (lower abs)
Each exercise description shows a small black and white photo of each start and end position, with descriptions of how to safely perform the move.
I have the sense this product could be quite nice if the resistance was tight enough to use for actual *rowing*. Some of it's well-thought out: the handles are a thick black comfortable neoprene. The foot straps are a soft, comfortable black and gray. My feet fit nicely in them (I have a woman's size 9 foot) and they feel secure. I don't have the sense the band part will fly back and smack me. However, there is a warning on the chart page about placing your sneakers completely in the stirrups and not just partly. I think this is so your feet don't fall out, rather than a worry about the resistant band flipping back. :)
Overall, this product fails as a rowing exerciser, but can be used for a general, non-impact ab workout tool. This is fine if one is prepared for that and not expecting the cheap, portable equivalent of a real rowing machine.
Disappointing product even though the price was very reasonable August 15, 2008

Disappointed. Wanted to use as a rowing exerciser...resistance was slight, there should be a way of increasing the resistance; also, within several days of receiving...the foam bit near the pedals came off. I wear 7.5 sneakers and they did not fit properly in the stirrups.
