Rowing Machines

About our Rowing Machines

What. A. Workout! We’re huge lovers of rowers, and we hope you will become one too. Why? Because in one fluid stroke you effectively recruit 80% of the muscles throughout your body for an exhilarating workout. The result is you can scorch through calories quicker than other exercise machines could ever hope too, train shorter, harder and reach your goals quicker.

It must be said if you want to avoid high impact training then rowing machines won’t be the right fit, gentle impact alternatives like bikes and cross trainers will suit you better. Conversely, for low back pain they can be great, look at our in-depth article to read more. A lot of us lead hectic lifestyles and exercise can be an afterthought, it takes no more than 20 minutes to squeeze a sweat dripping workout in on a rower, do these 3 times a week complimented with good nutrition and you’ll soon notice the differences.

Given the high intensity of rowers they suit performance training for endurance and fitness brilliantly. Every type follows a similar format but the way the difficulty adjusts varies, this can be via magnetic, water, air or hydraulics.

Magnetic suit starters to intermediates nicely, air designs accommodate performance training superbly, hydraulics are a cheap alternative and water models are an all-rounder with the insanely satisfying swooshing of water reverberating with every stroke. Given the naturally demanding rigours of the exercise is worth noting that an elevated level of resistance isn’t always necessary for lot of people.

We’re passionate about helping you lead an active lifestyle in a way that’s convenient and sustainable for you. If you feel you need more guidance we have plenty of in-depth buying guides, or we’d be thrilled to hear from you. Chat with us on-site, at hello@exercise.co.uk or on 0345 1666 200.
