i never tried it before but my knees hurt and i couldnt do my 20ks so i tried it out. I spent 45 minutes on it (prolly with bad technique) and wrecked my body for over 2 weeks. I went to the doctor and said i think something is wrong beyond the soreness from the machine but she said that was a ridiculous amount of time to spend on a rowing machine.
