I bought a rowing machine about 2 months ago and have rowed several times a week. I usually watch videos or listen to audio books at the same time. The financial precommitment thing works for me and has also worked when buying strength training equipment 4 months ago.
I wonder if I should buy a kayak or something similar the next summer, or perhaps join some club that rows bigger boats. Being able to show off while rowing for real should also boost my motivation to train with the machine :)
sounds like it’s worth a try—though I recommend going on a social activity with a group that goes to a place that hires them first, to see if you enjoy actually doing it and getting wet while doing it (which is a somewhat different experience to rowing machines). It’ll let you have a taste of it without the full committment. as long as it’s enjoyable you can then choose whether or not to commit fully ;)
