Did you realize that rowing is among the top exercises for enhancing cardiovascular fitness? Utilizing rowing machines not only boosts your aerobic capabilities but also significantly challenges your muscular system!

In contrast to traditional cardio machines like treadmills, stationary bikes, and stair climbers, a rowing machine engages both your upper and lower body, utilizing all major muscle groups. The rowing motion consists of approximately 65-75% leg engagement and 25-35% upper body involvement.

Additional advantages of indoor rowing include the ability to achieve a full-body aerobic workout with a single piece of equipment, in addition to the low impact it offers compared to other aerobic exercises. When running outside or on a treadmill, your body experiences orthopedic stress with each step. Indoor rowing eliminates this concern, as it allows the joints to move fully with minimal impact, making it an excellent option for individuals with joint pain.

Craig Lewin, Vice President of Busy Body Fitness and Fitness HQ, remarks, “The WaterRower stands out because it provides an extraordinary cardiovascular workout while exercising every muscle in your body! Its experience mimics the sound and feel of rowing on water. With no friction, it boasts impressive durability, and if Kevin Spacey can use it to unwind in his role as POTUS on ‘House of Cards,’ then it’s accessible for everyone!”

The WaterRower is an exceptional combination of aesthetics, functionality, design, and resilience. Its innovative WaterFlywheel design is famous for accurately reproducing the sensation of rowing on water. It features specially designed paddles that effectively cup the moving water to minimize slippage, creating an unparalleled rowing experience without the jolting that is often found in standard mechanical rowing machines.

“The WaterRower harmoniously incorporates the serenity of flowing water, the elegance of wood, and the rhythm of movement,” Lewin states. “It truly delivers a fantastic workout.”
