Hmmmm...  You must have a newer van than mine.  I don't get that vacuum
effect.  Maybe it's the tears in the canvas?  Rowing machines are aerobic,
not resistance training, and we think the regular weight set would be too
much weight -- hurts fuel economy and would be really dangerous in a wreck.
So far, the best suggestion seems to be the rubber bands that physical
therapists use.
