Rowing:
The rowing machine has been a long time favorite of mine, it works so many muscle groups for a cardio piece of kit that its worth all the hard work.
The best rower on the market, in my opinion, is the Concept 2, most gyms have them, if your lucky you'll own one, they've been around for some years and are tried and tested, they've changed a little over the years, small tweaks here and there, but the testament to there ability to be great is the fact even the old ones are still going, if you fancied buying one these models can be found on places like ebay for around £4-500 or if you really want to invest in your health a brand new model that will probably out last you will cost just over the grand mark.
Technique is important when using the rower, drive with the legs, then pull with the arms into the lower abs area, then arms extend and legs come in.
If you suffer from lower back pain these may not be the best bit of kit for you, seek professional advice before hand if your not sure.
The other great thing you can do is challenge yourself, either time or distance.
