For anyone like me that hates running/jogging for the sake of running/jogging but still wants a nice cardio workout that hits all your muscle groups, a rowing machine is a nice option.
I bought one a few weeks ago and love it. The one I got is a beginner rower (I didn't and couldn't afford the concept machine) but it serves it purpose. It has different levels of resistance and you can go as fast or as slow as you want.
I incorporate basketball 2 times a week as well. The rower is the only 'machine' I use to exercise. Everything else I just use my own body and body weight. 10 count body-builders (some call them burpees) is fantastic, lunges, a side lunge thing I use with a resistance band (I've heard it called the 'monster walk') and planks for the core. I am up to about a solid 2 minute plank in the full pushup position, which is challenging me right now. I started out on planks in the girl pushup position on the elbows and worked my way up. I also do a exercise for my lower back specifically because I sit in front computers quite a bit at work and at skinny person fat belly was showing itself.
I will not have that skinny fat belly thing going on. It is hideous.
