This would depend on your sex, age, fitness level, and goal. If your goal is general physical fitness, then yes this is a good time (especially good for a woman). If you want to be on a crew team, then this would be a good starting point for a junior guy, and would be a very good time for a junior girl. At the collegiate level however this would not be a good time for an experienced guy. Also, note that size plays a factor and the larger you are the better time you will need.
1 mile = 1600 meters. Check www.concept2.com to see the online rankings to compare times of different rowers over this distance on a rowing machine.
The time it will take to row 4028 miles on a rowing machine will depend on the individual rower's speed and endurance. However, it is important to note that rowing machines typically measure distance in meters, not miles.
Yes the rowing machines computer does track distance,and speed,it also tracks hear rate.
I would suggest swimming as it would probably be the easiest for you. You can get an all over workout including your half leg. But other suggestions are a rowing machine (or actual rowing!) and a stationary exercise bike. These can be done using one leg and the rowing will help your arms which as an amputee you need. You can also get exercise bikes that the handles move on - this will help your arms. But any exercise that gets your heart rate going will be good. Try to find some time for weights as well.

In the quest for weight loss and fitness, people are always seeking out the perfect exercise. Yet, there doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all exercise. If there was, though, it might possibly be a good workout on a rowing machine. The rowing machine not only provides a good muscular workout, it provides a good workout for the heart and respiratory system. Rowing at a good steady pace causes labored breathing and an increased heart rate. The muscles required to complete the movement include the arms, legs, back and abs. There aren't many exercises that are that complete. Another great thing about the rowing machine is that you can have one in your own home. In fact, you can do your workout right in front of the television if you choose. That is a great way to get caught up on your favorite shows and get into excellent physical shape at the same time. The machines typically provide varying levels of exercise. Tension knobs allow the user to start with a light workout or warm up, and then increase the intensity as he becomes stronger in body and circulatory strength. This allows the muscles to get stronger and the body to become shaped and trimmed. This is also a great way to burn calories shed unwanted pounds. Running is a good exercise that has helped many people lose weight. The problem with running and similar exercises is that it is high impact. That can cause problems for the joints in the legs, such as the knees and ankles. It is possible to develop long-term injury. That is not a problem with a rowing machine because there is no impact. It is just a smooth motion powered by the arms and legs. Anyone looking for a good solid, stress-free workout to build muscle, strengthen the heart and respiratory system, and keep off weight, should consider the rowing machine. Trainers typically recommend at least three 25 to 30 minute cardio sessions per week. With a rower, you can get that and build your body at the same time. It just might be the perfect workout.
I imagine if the floor is good and smooth you could go 20' or so. Otherwise, if you are talking about the indicated distance rowed on a concept II, then that is tough because 2 minutes is not a standard time that is measured and ranked, but somewhere around 700 meters would be pretty good.
saves you time when you don't have time to waste
You've made the decision to eat right and to get more exercise, but your time is limited. Purchasing a rowing machine for use in a home gym is a convenient way to fit a workout into a hectic schedule. Rowing machines provide a variety of ways to raise your heart rate. Whether you just want to burn fat and calories, increase your cardiovascular strength or go all out and train for high-intensity sports, rowing machines enable you to reach your workout goals.
I had broke the machine so i wasn't able for time travel.
Most likely during high school. ( 13-14 years of age) this age is the best time to start rowing.
As any other stationary piece of training equipment, it makes it easier to get a workout w/o being dependent on outside circumstances like climate, weather, time of day...
