 An indoor rower, or Ergometer, is a machine used to simulate the type of rowing done on water, for exercise and training. Twenty to forty minutes of indoor rowing provides a fantastic cardiovascular workout without getting wet!
Arms, legs, chest, back, abs-even your mind-your whole body gets a complete workout with rowing. It really is a fantastic exercise in so many different ways:
-
Low-impact (easy on the knees and ankles)
-
High calorie burner (because it uses so many muscle groups)
-
Great for joint health (joints move through a wide range of motion)
-
Upper body (completes the stroke)
-
Lower body (the legs initiate the drive)
-
Works the back and abs too!
-
Superb aerobic fitness (great for cardiovascular fitness)
-
Relieves stress (for overall health and well-being)
-
The rhythmic nature of rowing helps clear the head and ease stress
-
You'll find peace of mind thanks to an increase in health and fitness
