Based on my years of experience in using treadmills and rowing machines, I can probably list the advantages and disadvantages of treadmills and rowing machines. Generally speaking, the advantages of rowing machines are more obvious. Let's talk about it one by one.

First of all, the advantages or benefits of the treadmill:

1, simple and easy to use.

2. High permeability.

Disadvantages of treadmills:

1, poor safety: emergency stop in case of motor failure, which is prone to accidents. Besides, you need to concentrate. Once you lose your rhythm or get distracted, it's easy to fall.

2, the scope of application is limited: for some people who are overweight or have knee injuries, it is not suitable to share the treadmill.

3, difficult to adhere to: the trajectory of action is single, lack of interest, and it is difficult to persist for a long time.

Representative brands of treadmills: international brand technogym and domestic brand Qiao Shan.

Advantages or benefits of rowing machines:

1, high exercise efficiency: the efficiency is the highest among the four kinds of aerobic equipment (treadmill, elliptical machine, bicycle), because the rowing machine can exercise about 80% of the muscle groups. In contrast, rowing 15 minutes is equivalent to running on a treadmill for three quarters of a minute.

2, little damage: because the rowing machine is sitting on a moving seat and moving, the knee joint has no load, so it has no damage to the knee joint, and people who are overweight or have been injured in the knee joint are more suitable.

3, high safety: the intensity can be controlled by yourself, and it will stop when you are tired, unlike the treadmill that needs to keep up with the running rhythm at all times. In addition, as the only aerobic equipment for sitting exercise, there is no need to worry about the risk of falling.

Disadvantages of rowing machine:

1, you need to learn the correct rowing action, unlike the treadmill with low learning threshold. Similar to the video teaching in Moby's intelligent rowing machine app, it takes a certain period of study and practice to master the correct analysis of wrong actions;

2. The rowing machine needs to hold the handle by hand. Holding it for a long time will hurt your hands. You need to wear gloves if necessary.

Want to start rowing machine, the brands recognized by the mainstream market are: Walter Lauren, the top international brand; Domestic brand of intelligent rowing machine-Moby rowing machine

On the whole, which is better, rowing machine or treadmill? Mainly to balance the advantages and disadvantages of rowing machines and treadmills. Everyone needs to make a comprehensive judgment according to their own needs and preferences, as well as the use of scenarios, especially to measure whether their shortcomings are what they care most about, and whether their strengths can hit their real pain points.
