A Passion For Fitness & Rowing

As someone keen on sports, I’ve developed an obsession with rowing and examining its effects on the body.

It’s a widespread myth that just the arms perform whilst rowing. In fact, it’s a full-body exercise that uses 86% of the muscles in the body.

A workout plan that involves cardio equipment or aerobic training is a significant contributor to your physical wellbeing, no matter what your age is. Losing weight, improved mobility, and a better immune system are some of the positives of daily aerobic exercise. A weight lifting program for rowers also has many benefits.

Endorphins produced when you work out will even help boost the consistency of your mood and sleep. A rowing machine is an easy way to boost the heart rate and maximize the oxygen consumption for a successful aerobic exercise since it involves the usage of too many major muscle groups. There are almost too many benefits of using a rowing machine to list.

On certain rowers, the dynamic resistance allows you to quickly work up to your goal heart rate and slow it down to your resting rate.
