Rowing machine is an aerobic strength instrument to improve the comprehensive ability of the body. Its action is similar to rowing, and more than 84% muscles of the whole body are mobilized during exercise, which can make the whole body, including back, arms, shoulders, lower back, thighs, waist and abdomen, get proper and comprehensive exercise. Another advantage of indoor rowing machine is that it has little influence on joints, and elderly people with some basic joint diseases can also exercise.

Exercise effect of water rowing machine

When using Vautherot Lun rowing machine to exercise, it is required that the upper arm and forearm of human body push forward and pull back forcefully under the coordination of waist and back, and at the same time, the legs push forward rhythmically with the action of the upper arm, and a series of actions should be carried out repeatedly and coherently.

Swinging back and forth can exercise pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, trapezius and other muscles well.

Hand paddling also needs to resist the resistance of water, which is also a resistance exercise. Resistance exercise has the most obvious effect on improving muscle strength, which makes deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres major, teres minor and other upper arm and shoulder muscles, biceps brachii, triceps brachii and other forearm muscles get good exercise.

Lower limb stretching exercises can train lower limb muscles and hip joint muscles such as quadriceps femoris and sartorius.

These movements coordinate rhythmically, which not only improves the muscle strength and endurance of the whole body, but also exercises the coordination of these muscles. ?

Secondly, it can improve the flexibility of the body. ?

Flexibility refers to the range of motion of human joints and the elasticity and stretching ability of ligaments, tendons, muscles, skin and other tissues around joints, including the range of motion of joints and joint systems. With the continuous growth of age, the elasticity of soft tissues around joints will gradually decline, and exercise, especially targeted stretching training, can slow down the decline of elasticity and improve the flexibility of the body. Having certain flexibility is also the basis for each of us to carry out our daily activities. ?

When boating, our bodies, especially the back, need constant flexion and extension, and the spine bends to a greater extent, which can stretch the ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues of the back well, promote blood circulation, stimulate the renewal and repair of soft tissues, and help improve the flexibility of the waist. In daily life, bending down to pick up things, sitting down and other actions all require the flexibility of the waist. Older people with disabilities in this area can do some rowing exercises step by step. ?

Third, it is good aerobic exercise. ?

Rowing is a whole-body exercise involving multiple muscle groups. The intensity is not great, but it is about medium. It is a good aerobic endurance exercise. Persisting in rowing can improve the aerobic metabolism ability of human body, improve the oxygen uptake ability of respiratory system and the oxygen supply ability of circulatory system, and in short, improve the cardiopulmonary function. Therefore, it is suggested that middle-aged and elderly people should keep rowing time at 15 ~ 30 minutes at a time, which can not only keep fit, but also not cause too much burden on the heart and lungs.
