Rowing has moved from being a competitive outdoor sport, to an exceptional way to get in shape. Unlike many other cardio exercises, Indoor Rowing is a total body workout – and may be the perfect exercise for people of all body types and fitness levels.
Why should you try indoor rowing?
1. Great for weight loss! When you’re indoor rowing, you’ll burn between 400-800 calories per hour (depending on your level of fitness and your exertion level).
2. Anybody can do it! The basic movement of pulling the bar backward while pushing backward is easy to learn!
3. Total Body Fitness! Rowing works 9 major muscle groups – quads, hamstrings, glues, lats, core, triceps, shoulders, back, and biceps. You’re targeting major muscles, getting a total workout in a short amount of time, while also getting a great cardio workout.
4. Low Impact – If your joints aren’t in the best condition for cardio, rowing is great for injury prevention, rehab, and runners compared to other activities. Additionally, for those that are overweight, the sliding seat displaces weight. This keeps the load on specific parts of the body less – allowing one to enjoy their workout!
5. Great for reducing stress! You’re forced to concentrate on your form when you’re rowing – this helps to keep you from becoming distracted. Not only does this help you get a better workout, but as exercise itself is also perfect for reducing stress, rowing intensifies the positive impact of that exercise.
