The rower uses your entire body in the movement so yes, it is better than the treadmill.

I read it was all Naseem Hamed would do for cardio. I don't remember if it was in his younger or later years though.

the good things about rowing machines is you work on cardio and muscle at the same time. if you use the correct technique you work your back, shoulders and arms
