    Running sucks and kicks up my asthma because of the bouncing while breathing, but doing rowing machines isn’t an issue because I can breathe with the motions.

    I think any extended activity of working your larger muscles for a lengthy period of time should have similar results. Like bikes, ellipticals, and other things that are a lot smoother than running.

      Well, the title of this article is misleading. You are correct in your assumption that is is exercise, not specifically running. They used mice on running wheels as part of the research.

      Still, love to be mad about running and another vote for the rower. Cheap water rower knock off ftw.
