The WaterRower: A Complete Cardio, Strength, and Calorie-Burning Solution for Your Home
Compiled by Tricia White | Managing Editor
Did you know that rowing is among the most effective exercises for enhancing aerobic fitness? Rowing machines not only help improve your cardiovascular health but also engage your muscular system significantly!
Unlike traditional cardio equipment like treadmills, exercise bikes, and stair climbers, a rowing machine works both your upper and lower body, engaging all major muscle groups. When using an indoor rower, approximately 65-75% of the effort comes from your legs, while 25-35% is derived from your upper body.
Additional advantages of indoor rowing include achieving a full-body aerobic workout with just one machine, and it also minimizes impact compared to other aerobic activities. Jogging outside or on a treadmill can cause orthopedic stress with each step, whereas indoor rowing allows your joints to move through their complete range of motion with minimal impact, making it an excellent choice for those with joint pain.
Craig Lewin, Vice President of Busy Body Fitness and Fitness HQ, states, “The reason the WaterRower is such a fantastic product is that it offers an incredible cardio workout while engaging every muscle in your body! It also mimics the sensation and sounds of rowing on water. There is no friction, ensuring the rower has a long lifespan, and if Kevin Spacey can use it to relieve stress while playing POTUS on ‘House of Cards,’ then anyone can use it!”
The WaterRower showcases a remarkable blend of aesthetics, functionality, design, and resilience. Its innovative WaterFlywheel design is famous for effectively replicating the experience of rowing on water. It employs a specially designed paddle to capture moving water, minimize slippage, and provide an unmatched imitation of rowing’s benefits. As a result, users do not experience the jolts or discomfort often linked to typical mechanical rowing machines.
“The WaterRower combines the serenity of flowing water, the warmth of wood, and the rhythm of motion,” says Lewin. “It’s simply an excellent workout.”
