Burn Calories at the Rowing Machine

The rowing machine may not be the most popular piece of cardio equipment at the gym, but it's a great way to get a total-body workout that's friendly on your joints, says Josh Crosby, creator of Indo-Row and an instructor at Revolution Fitness in Santa Monica, California. Keep your strokes per minute between 24 and 28, depending on your rate of perceived exertion (on a scale of one to 10; 10 being the hardest you're working) and you'll burn about 300 calories in 30 minutes.

Minutes	Rate of Perceived Exertion:
0:00-5:00	2
5:00-7:00	3
7:00-8:00	5
8:00-10:00	8
10:00-12:00	3
12:00-14:00	5
14:00-15:00	7
15:00-17:00	2
17:00-19:00	4
19:00-21:00	6
21:00-22:00	8
22:00-24:00	2
24:00-27:00	6
27:00-30:00	2-3

Hello there, I love this blog! I was wondering if anyone on here uses rowing or stand up paddleboarding as a form of exercise? I started using rowing machines at the gym about 2 years ago and loved it, and of course definitely felt the burn. I then learned how to row and stand up paddleboard at Phins Water Sports Club in Marina del rey and never looked back! I feel like i'm getting a full body workout.
