Rowing Machine

[TurbotH]

I'm wanting to get a big fitter (and thinner). I'm thinking about buying a rowing machine as i've always enjoyed using them in gyms in the past and starting to run on the road. I know there are quite a few fitness/gym gurus on here. I was just wondering how useful the rower will be in gaining fitness or will it mostly just build up arm muscles? I want an air resistance one and have seen this

anyone used this make/model before? Can't find much about it online. Is it a fair price? Also are there any slightly different ways of using a rower to exercise different muscles etc?


Thanks in advance.
