Welcome to my Best Rowing Machine blog, I’m Tim Porter. I’m a personal trainer for indoor rowing and this blog is devoted to help anyone out there who wants to buy a rowing machine or indoor rower for their own home.
If you have no idea where to start looking for the best rowing machine for regular home use, this is probably a good place, because I will write many rowing machine reviews for the highly rated models and brands such as:
- Concept2 rowing machines
- Kettler rowing machines
- Bodycraft rowing machines
- Stamina rowing machines
I will also explain the different types of rowing machine and how to choose the best one that suits you. The types of rowing machines are:
- Air resistance
- Flywheel resistance
- Magnetic resistance
- Piston resistance
- Water resistance
These different types of rowing machines have different intensity and feel; you might like the magnetic resistance for a quieter workout, or you might prefer water resistance for realistic action. We shall look into the details of each type in my later post.
Rowing is not like other types of exercise equipments such as the treadmill, which might have impact on the knees or ankles, but it still has its safety risks. Rowing’s common injury is the lower back, so I always tell my trainees to keep the proper techniques in mind while rowing. I will write about these safety tips as well.
Indoor rowing is a good sport for our cardiovascular system, and it’s working more towards strength endurance. You can try interval training with rowing, which will definitely get those calories burning and soon you’ll get toned muscles and a healthier body. Many people row to lose weight too.
Do you know what the fun thing about indoor rowing is which is different with other exercises? There are competitions around the world (even online) for indoor rowing!
Can’t wait to get your rowing machine already? The reviews and recommendations for the best rowing machines will be updated soon.
