ROWING MACHINE

The rowing machine is one of the most effective cardio machines for weight loss. It works your entire body while also giving you a broad range of motion. While your legs provide 60% of the power per stroke, many other muscles are engaged, ensuring that you get a full-body, all-around workout. The rowing machine includes a sliding seat, footrests, a flywheel, and an adjustable damper coupled to a fan cage. The entire workout is completed while seated, with your feet propped up on the footrests in front of you. You go rearward by pulling on the handle, which is connected to the flywheel and damper by a chain. That's one row or stroke. It also has a monitor display that shows you how many kilometers or miles you've rowed, how much time you've spent on the machine, and how long it takes to row one meter, among other useful information.

To get the finest results from your rowing machine, make sure the damper is set correctly. The rowing machine will allow you to adjust the resistance from 1 to 10. This is not to be confused with intensity levels. The damper controls how much air is allowed to pass through the cage when rowing. It works in the same way that bicycle gears do. Simply put, a higher damper (10) allows more air to pass through the fan cage. As a result, getting the wheel to spin takes greater effort. It also means that it will slow down more on the recovery stroke, making it more difficult to accelerate the wheel on the next row. A damper placed at a lower level, on the other hand, makes it easier to spin the flywheel.

The damper setting on the rowing machine, like the gears on a bicycle, is a matter of personal preference. Setting it between 3 and 5 is a good rule of thumb:

• 3 being better suited for longer workouts
• 5 being an ideal setting for shorter ones.

However, play around with the setting so that you can see which one works best for you. Customizing this will mean you’ll be able to generate a more optimized workout and better results for weight loss.

Estimated Calories Burned:

• Stationary moderate rowing burnt 210, 260, and 311 calories in 30 minutes for people weighing 125, 155, and 185 pounds, according to Havard Health Publishing. In comparison, they burned 255, 316, and 377 calories when vigorously rowing on the machine for the same period of time.

Benefits:

• Apart from the usual cardio benefits of increased physical and mental health, the rowing machine is beneficial because it puts minimum stress on the body due to your seated position. It's actually a fantastic low-impact cardio workout that's gentle on the joints while still being effective and difficult. It's also a great alternative for those who want to work out their entire body, as it targets muscles other than the lower body.
