Rowing machines are great for a full body workout. They combine cardio exercise and strength training to give you the best kind of exercise you can get. All of your large muscle groups, including your legs, back, shoulders, arms and abs will benefit from a rowing machine workout, as well as your heart and lungs.
In addition, using a rowing machine can also be beneficial in your workout because it is low-impact. The rhythmic, consistent motion of a rowing machine will reduce the amount of strain on your joints and muscles. Rowing machines also have great calorie-burning potential and require less time than a stationary bike or stair climber. You can tone thighs, buttocks, arms and back muscles using one machine!
When using a rowing machine, proper form is of the utmost importance. Improper form or use can lead to muscle strains in your legs, back and arms. Be sure to keep your elbows close to your body and avoid over-extending your knees and elbows. Rowing machine exercise isn’t just about your arms; it’s about your legs, too. Drive through strokes with your legs and body core.
With so many rowing machines available, it can be difficult to find the one that suits your requirements and/or budget. Look for a machine that has various difficulty settings that will cater to your workout. You may also want a digital display that tracks heart rate, distance traveled and calories burn. Some rowing machines also fold up for easy storage in your home.
