CREW/ROWING QUESTION! I'm not sure if I should stay with my club or row for my school team?????????????????
there are two high school rowing teams in my city. they practice at the same place. so i am currently with the club, where people from all schools can join. i joined this year and i LOVE it. but next year i might transfer to the school with the rowing team.
the big issue for me is that the school only starts practicing LATE in winter. and my club practices september-may.
so i feel like i would miss rowing A LOT and i’d be depressed june-december. i could do another sport, like cross country, but that’s not as fun.
also, and interesting thing is that the school’s rowing team is REALLY good and better than my club. they win most of the races, but i think it’s because they have bigger, taller girls. but i feel like i would have less time to work on becoming a better rower.
i just want to do crew year round! what do you think i should do?

Best home exercises to tone butt, abs, & thighs?
I can’t afford to go to a gym so I was wondering what the best home exercises were to tone your butt, abs, and thighs.
I used to do Tae Bo, but that made my butt and thighs bigger.
By the way, I eat pretty healthy, so my diet is of no concern and my Dr. says I’m in pretty good shape for my age – 30. I’m 5′6" and weigh 116lbs.
Taking all serious responses only.
Thanks in advance.

Rowing Machine vs Elliptical…Thoughts?
(I asked this late last night and only got 1 answer which was an advertisement…sorry…had to re-ask)
I use an elliptical for my cardio curently and small home universal machine for my weight training. I was thinking of getting a rowing machine because it seems like it would offer nice cardio and weight training on certain muscle groups all in one workout.
I understand I would still want to use the universal machine for weight training because a rowing machine only works specific muscle groups.
If I was to get a rowing machine, would it replace my elliptical for cardio or should I still use the elliptical in addition to the rowing machine?
What are your thoughts on rowing machines in general?

how much would a high resistance row machine cost?
i heard i can get a cheap row machine, for like 160$. but common sense tells me that it won’t be anywhere near gym quality, as i’m pretty sure the row machines at the gym are probably 1,000+. i’m looking for one with some high resistance, and durability. and that’s pretty much it.
so if any body out there knows anything about row machines or home fitness equipment that could help me out, i would appreciate it. thank you if you can.
