This rower is very satisfying (for now after a month of use). It suits me perfectly: I use almost every day; with three sessions a quarter of an hour. It feels much better physically. Once we successfully coordinated the movement of arms and legs, it allows to work almost all the muscles corps.Il is perfect for folks like me (64 years); but is not suitable for "madmen", weight training, or the followers of performance; then it is better to go for the higher range. Even if the installation instructions are in English only; it is relatively easy to cope with the diagrams. After using this rower for over a year at about an hour a day. I give this advice: lock the seat rail at the bottom and do the movements, keeping the fixed, that is to say with legs; musculatoire the work is the same, and most importantly, you delete the movement back and forth on the seat rail that eventually ends up damaging the ball bearings.
