Why Buy A Rowing Machine?
Rowing fitness machines attempt to simulate the exercise of rowing in a row boat but in the comfort and convenience of your own gym or home setting. Whether you are rowing for aerobic exercise or for building muscle mass, rowing exercise equipment is an ideal choice.
Indoor rowing provides high intensity full body exercise for your lower and upper body. In particular rowing excercise machines work out your legs and butt, strengthen and tone abdominal muscles and because you are working all four limbs at once, provide great cardiovascular strengthening.
Different Types Of Rowing Machine
There are various different styles of rowing machine exercisers to buy for home use. Which you choose, will depend on budget and personal preference.
- Hydraulic Resistance
Hydraulic piston rowers are typically entry level rowing machines designed for those on a tight budget but offering the least fluid motion. If you want a budget rowing exercise machines for under £200 then these are a relatively good economical choice but offer the least realistic rowing experience.
- Air Resistance
These use air pressure to simulate the resistance felt when using a rowing boat on the open water. If you row harder and faster, the resistance increase, row more gently and it declines. Air rowers can be quite noisy as there is a constant woosh of air flowing and flywheel spinning.
- Water Resistance
Combined with the gentle woosh of water, rowing equipment of this types actually uses water pressure to give the most accurate simulation of rowing in your home environment. Some water rowers can be quite noisy, others have a really soothing effect, all provide a low impact workout with unlimited range of resistance.
- Magnetic Resistance
Shh! Magentic Resistance rowing machines are the quietest of all the different types of rowing machine offering an almost silent workout. If noise is going to be a problem, for example if you live in a multi-person home or want to watch television whilst working out, then opt for a magnetic resistance rower. A further advantage is magnetic resistance rowing equipment comes without the large flywheel seen on all other types of rowing machine which makes storage easier.
