I am looking into getting a rowing machine. It isn't too exciting, but I could watch tv or listen to music while using it. It has the advantage of being low impact, which is necessary and working the upper body more than the lower. (Also good as I am on my feet all day.)

Anyone use one and have an idea of a good cheap one. I don't need bells and whistles, as I can use an egg timer. I'd like one I can roll under the bed or just pick up and store on one end.
(Looking at the Stamina body trac glider).

There's this one on amazon with 3 stars for $75

well, if anyone offered it for free then yes, But I am pretty satified with my normally lazy traning in front of the tv..

Thanks, I don't want to spend more than about $150. I think I am against things rated under 4 stars. Just wondered if people had experience.

@Natkat: Thinking I need to step it up a bit. I am thinking of weights and rowing (alternating with hikes and that sort of thing.)

No chance to do a real boat in New Mexico. :-)

normally I live in centrum of the city, no change for having boths there eater,

if you are looking to build up muscle i say look at getting a Total Gym. The price for those are under $500 depending on how new it is and you can hit every major muscle group in you're body

rowing works your back and core wich is good especially if you pair it with simple bodyweight exercises like pushups, crunches, chin ups and pull ups.
