Really, rowing will not turn you into a hulk unless you're naturally big.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Interval training on a rowing machine, following the training programmes that concept2 provide will be very effective without buggering your knees.
Anyway, why do you care so much about achieving a certain resting heart rate?
Anything under about 65 is a sign of being quite fit.

Get on that rowing machine instead, you'll notice the difference in no time.

If you keep obsessing about it your heart rate will keep going up because you're worried that it's not going down
Also, the fact that you can't remember having started these threads before might indicate that you should be more concerned about the onset of Alzheimers.

Maybe a better measure, instead of cheating beats per minute, should be beats per year.
