The Benefits of Rowing for Exercise

Here at Bodydoctor Health and Fitness we've been using the water rower since the beginning. We always have and always will because it is quite simply the best in the world

Rowing works 84% of the Muscle Mass - more than any other exercise, rowing recruits all major muscle groups.

Maximize Gain, Minimize Time - rowing can burn in excess of 1000 calories per hour. Importantly rowing does so with a far lower perceived level of exertion than other aerobic exercises.

Joint Friendly - rowing moves the joints through a full range of motion and does so with minimal impact and no body weight on the joints. Making it one of the best exercises for joint pain sufferers.

Good for the Posture - Exercise physiologists unanimously agree; what we need to do more of is leg extension, hip hinge and open shoulders type exercise.

Relaxing to the Mind - Harmony evolves from a natural balance of elements.

Using a patented WaterflyWheel, the WaterRower simulates the natural dynamics of rowing on the water by providing an exceptionally smooth rowing experience. Rowing is one of the most effective ways of getting fit, using 84% of your muscles and burning up to 1,000 calories / hour. Research by Ohio University found that “rowers use twice the number of calories on a 2,000 meter course as runners on a 3,000 meter steeplechase course, considered the most rigorous running event.” Translate this into actual calorie figures and you get the following:

Light to moderate rowing burns 502 to 733 calories per hour

Vigorous rowing burns 709 to 1,035 per hour

An excellent cross-trainer and crucially low impact (removing the users weight from the injury prone areas of the hips, knees and ankles) the WaterRower provides an excellent all over cardio workout that can be safely incorporated into training programmes. The WaterRower can be used within one-to-one training sessions, forming part of a regular and varied programme, as well as being used as a single piece of exercise that works the upper and lower body at the same time.
