Rowing is accepted as one of the most effective ways to workout, but have you ever tried a water rower? Water rowers are the Ferraris of rowing machines, typically crafted from hard woods, and designed to offer a smooth action that feels just like being out on the river.
Why are water rowers so much smoother than regular rowers? The key is the flywheel, which is water filled. The water flywheel therefore reacts smoothly to your strokes - if you pull gently, it will provide a gentle rowing action, but if you if you row harder, the flywheel will increase the workload.
Occupying the top end of the home exercise market, water rowers typically have striking good looks, and high quality displays. You should expect to find a range of vital information such as time, distance and heart rate, predicted time over distance, etc, all allowing you to work hard to achieve your goals. In addition, water rowers feature a simple, space-saving storage solution - when your workout is done, you simply stand them up out of the way.
However, the heart of any rowing machine is the workout is provides. Rowers have long been recognized as one of the most effective, all round pieces of workout equipment. Just look at the benefits:
- Weight loss: Rowing works your cardio system and helps to improve muscle tone. Used regularly, a rowing machine is a great way to lose weight.
- Easy to use at home: This is one of the best all around workouts, so if you only have the space or budget for one piece of equipment, this is a great choice.
- Improved fitness: Whether you do longer cardio sessions, or short, intensive interval sessions, this is a great way to get in shape.
- Easy to learn: The learning curve is really short on rowing machines. It's a simple, natural action, so most people get the hang of it within minutes.
- Perfect in all weathers: You can sit on your machine and row whatever the weather.
- Low impact: Because there is no pounding, rowing is a low impact, joint friendly activity.
- Watch TV or listen to music: Working out indoors you can watch TV or listen to music, helping the time to pass quickly.
Beautifully made, water rowers are one of the few exercise machines that actually look attractive. And with a water flywheel that reacts to your strokes, your workout will be entirely determined entirely by the effort you put in, making it one of the smoothest, most effective ways to work out.
