If it seems like everybody wants the newest device or trendy workout, here’s a reminder to try a classic exercise device that delivers on all fronts: the rowing machine.
- They’re easy to find and easy to use, providing both cardio and strength training for anyone, including people over 50, 60, and 70. You get muscle work, bone health benefits, and probably a good sweat while raising your heart rate and increasing oxygen intake.
- Most rowers can be adjusted to fit your fitness level and desired intensity. Listen to your favorite podcast for a relaxing pace, or go harder with your motivating soundtrack.
- They provide a low-impact, full-body workout, emphasizing the quads, biceps, and—surprisingly—the core.
- The full-body effort really amps up the number of calories burned, making this a great way to lower your body fat percentage (while building lean muscle).
- You can row at a steady pace or using high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
- And you can row for a brief warmup or as the centerpiece of your workout.
Take a moment to learn proper form. Rowing is simple, but you want to be sure you’re doing it right. You can watch a YouTube video or ask one of our staff members for a quick lesson.
USRowing has declared June 1 National Learn to Row Day.
