Since the 31st of may I've been doing 30 minutes of rowing a day (on a rowing machine) in two 15 minute sessions.
The machine is from 2003 but still works well. It records calories being burned and according to the machine I'm burning 150 calories every 15 minute session which is 300 a day from rowing.
I also record it on my phone which says 15 minutes of rowing is around 95 calories but my phone doesn't have an option about how fast I am rowing or the difficultly of the rowing so I think the machine is more accurate.
In between the 15 minute sessions I've been doing some muscle training stuff.
I don't know the exact names of these so I will just describe them.
-Pulling down a bar.
-Lifting weights with both legs.
-Pushing arms inwards to lift a weight.
-Bicep curls
I used to go to the gym about twice a week before lockdown but for a while I wasn't get much exercise as I'm working from home which involves me being sat at my desk pretty much all day.
I'm currently about 73kg (160 lbs) and 170cm (5"7) in the morning and I'm mainly going for weight loss but also a bit of muscle growth at the same time.
I've found rowing as been really helping my posture and making a difference in my forearms.
I'm not an expert at this stuff so I might be doing things slightly wrong. If anyone has advice I'm happy to hear it.
