Thanks for the info on the rower! I'll definitely check which brand it is.
All I know about the "resistance" is that 10 feels harder than 1, and that the lever is kinda broken, so if I try to set it on anything other than 1 or 10, it falls down to one. That said, someone wedged a paper towel in it, and that seems to hold it in place, so once I know if it's a Concept2, I'll definitely figure out which level represents what I want - I think I'd be more interested in muscle power (I get plenty of cardio, I want my arms to be stronger!) so that'd be the higher settings, right?
The main thing I love about the rower is the way the wheel turning fans me, it's like the harder I work, the nicer breeze I get...just like if I was really rowing! And it feels great after a half hour on the elliptical... :)
