86% of the Body Workout: Indoor Rowing works 86% of the muscles in your body. No other piece of fitness equipment compares. The indoor rower targets your legs, back, core, arms, and shoulders. Many people assume that most of the work takes place in the arms but this is not true, rowing is a push with the legs and 60-70% of the power behind your stroke (a term used to define the movement made in rowing) is from your legs.
Heart and Lungs Workout: Rowing is a fantastic cardiovascular exercise that gets your heart rate up and improves your cardiovascular fitness. It helps increase your lung capacity and strengthens your heart, leading to better overall cardiovascular health. Interval training (anaerobic) and endurance training (aerobic) are both easily incorporated into a workout. Runners can use indoor rowing to replace a weekly run or a speed workout. The PM5 monitor makes it easy to setup a workout and provides real-time feedback as you workout.
Go Easy on Yourself While Still Working Hard: Unlike some other forms of exercise like running or high-impact aerobics, rowing is a low-impact activity. This means it puts less stress on your joints, reducing the risk of injuries and making it a great option for individuals with joint issues or those who are recovering from injuries.
Torch The Calories: Rowing is a calorie-burning powerhouse. It's an efficient way to burn calories and can be an effective component of a weight loss or weight management plan. In a single session, you can burn a significant amount of calories due to the combination of muscle engagement and cardiovascular effort.
Accessible: Indoor rowing machines, also known as ergometers or rowing ergs, are widely available in gyms and can also be purchased for home use. This accessibility means you can incorporate rowing into your fitness routine regardless of the weather or time of day. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, you can tailor your rowing sessions to your fitness level and goals.
