"The trouble with cross training is finding the time. You have to pedal or skate pretty far to approximate the training effects of an average run. Add the weight training or indoor rowing to the mix each week and your talking real time investment. The Rowbike may be the answer to this dilemma. . . You get aerobic and strength in one session. The Rowbike simultaneously works the calves, quads and glutes, as well as the biceps, shoulders, pecs and back."
