Rowing machine: how to use, review, benefits, workout

Rowing is a highly effective and popular crossfit exercise. A rowing machine is used as the imitation of rower’s work in a boat, but only in a gym. At the same time, the body has a reasonably high cardiovascular pressure. As a result, rowing goes in the group of so-called cardio exercises.

Exercises on the rowing machine are universal. That is, they are suitable for people with different level of sports training and a different body type. The main property of workout using this machine is the simultaneous activity of a considerable number of different body muscles. The intensive work of the body increases the number of heartbeats. Surely, it creates an excellent cardio-effect in the process of training.

The perfect technique of doing exercises on the trainer should guarantee active work of both the upper and lower parts of the body. For example, when running or riding an exercise bike, mostly only the lower part of the body works. And when training on the rowing machine almost the whole body operates.
