I've started rowing again . . . it's not so much to make muscle but more so to lose some of the fat and to get more endurance - and possibly this exercise will help me not sweat so much.

Have you guys rowed? anything I should do to make my rowing exercise better?

I've used a rowing machine, never actually rowed a boat before. There isn't much I can think of to tweak the exercise. Maybe you could do the rowing HIIT style, take it easy for a minute, row hard for 30 seconds, row as hard as possible for 30 seconds, then go back to light rowing for a minute. Doing it like this will cause your body to burn more calories throughout the day while you aren't exercising.

Okay, well it's definitely premature . . . but rowing is helping me notice that I have muscle groups

Other than body stuff, body image is better - like even though I might not look it I know I exercise so I'm happy. I also feel the energy that comes with rowing. . . what I like best is my endurance is up, kinda like if I had sex I wouldn't pass out? :lol:

However I know that my body style isn't one that will allow me to be slim but with muscles, like the athletic type. . . I think I'll be more like the strong and big type? The only time I was skinny was when I was a baby, but as I grew I was always one of the bigger guys. . . what what I'm asking now is, is there a way to change body type or does it matter as long as you have muscles?

Your natural body type will always be what it is, but you can push nature pretty hard. I'm the same way as you, I will never have a skinny type body, ever. My bone structure causes me to be a hulking brute at all times. You are lucky to be endomorphic, you should be able to get strong much faster than an exomorph. You can develop muscle faster than a skinny person too.
