3 Reasons Why a Rowing Machine Gives the Perfect Workout
Rowing is an excellent workout. If you’ve never tried it, then just get onto a rower at you local gym for 5 minutes and you’ll see what I mean. While most people slog it out on a treadmill or training bike, I’d take the rowing machine any day of the week. It has some very distinct advantages that makes it the perfect workout. Whether you want to lose weight, improve your muscle tone or just get fit, this is a workout you need to seriously consider.
Training on a rowing machine is unique in every way and you will work on muscles you never even though you had. Its also a relatively “cheap” option if you were to invest in one for your home. It might be a bit expensive at first but a decent rowing machine can last you a long time and save you a fortune in gym fees. It also give you the additional comfort of having a compact and complete workout machine at home.
There are 3 reasons why I think a rowing machine is a superior workout. Lets quickly look at those and how you can benefit from it:
1. Low Impact
Rowing is a low impact workout. It has virtually zero impact on your joints and if you find running to be a painful experience then this can be the answer for you. Machines like the Concept 2 indoor rower is very well designed and will put very little stress on your body apart from where its needed – your muscles! Low impact exercise means a more efficient workout and because of this it suitable for people of all ages. Even with bad knees or a bad hip, this is a great way to stay fit and tone up.
2. Cardiovascular Workout
If you’ve been on an indoor rowing machine for 5 minutes you will know just how intense the workout can be. Rowing is a surprisingly good cardio workout and it engages virtually all the muscles in your body. By simply adjusting the resistance of the machine you can control the intensity and doing 30 minutes non-stop will give you a workout equivalent to a stiff 45 minutes run.
3. Strength Training
Rowing machines like the Concept 2 have an air resistance that can be adjusted to 10 different levels. The higher the resistance the greater the workout. At level 10, its almost the equivalent of lifting weights but because you are on the machine you have very little impact on your joints. Whereas as low setting is perfect for a cardio workout, flipping the switch to a higher setting will give you resistance needed to get a proper strength training session – all from the same machine.
