Haha, I agree. Rowing actually requires LEG motion as well.]]>May 18th 2010 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/
Didn't you see the string she was pulling on?]]>May 18th 2010 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/
NOTE TO PEOPLE LEARNING TO ERG: ergs don't work like weights, so if you think it's too easy, it's because you're not pulling hard enough. the harder you pull, the more resistance the machine gives. for reference, set the erg around a 3 or 4, and never higher than a 5. i could explain why, but just trust me.]]>May 18th 2010 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/May 18th 2010 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/
Old people who can't lift weight. At least it gets them to move.]]>May 18th 2010 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/
Hmmm, I don't think old people will appreciate having to get down on the floor and swing backwards and forwards lol.]]>May 18th 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/
Who says they have to get on the floor? I can see this being done in a chair.

Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of stupid shit for the Wii, but if it gets old people to move - go for it.]]>May 18th 2010 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/

as is, it might be worth $35 if it came with a great game that used it, or maybe $15 if it was just the station.]]>May 18th 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/May 18th 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/May 18th 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/
I guess this might be fun, but I would rather row then come home and shoot stuff.

Or play xbox.]]>May 18th 2010 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/May 18th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/May 18th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/18/wii-rowing-machine-aims-to-sculpt-abs-achieves-belly-laughs-vi/
