Rowing Machine

Today was my first time using the rowing machine. It was so fun! And it amazed me how I burned 102 calories within 10 minutes without having to think too much about it (compared to running, which requires me to get really hard-hitting music to get going). I did run for 15 min and walk for 15-20 min (all in intervals) before the rowing machine, so the difference between the amount of mental effort I put into running and then into rowing was pretty obvious to me. Sadly, I only got to row for about 10 min. I got a bit freaked out when a guy moved the rowing machine behind me next to mine. I think I'll include rowing into my daily morning routine. The trainer for my super circuits class also advised me to row to improve my back muscles and my scoliosis, so I'm happy that we're having a good relationship from the start (me and the rowing machine, I mean).
