Rowing machine is a kind of equipment that simulates rowing. In the process of use, about 80% of the main muscle groups of the whole body will participate. Can exercise core muscle groups such as legs, waist and abdomen, arms, chest and back. Each stroke, these muscle groups will complete a complete contraction and extension to achieve the effect of exercise. It can be said that rowing machine is a complete and efficient whole-body exercise, full of fun and challenges.

What types of rowing machines are there? According to the different ways of resistance, rowing machines can be divided into water resistance rowing machines, wind resistance rowing machines and reluctance rowing machines:

First, the water resistance rowing machine

Water resistance rowing mainly produces resistance through the water tank, and the resistance is determined by speed. The faster the speed, the greater the resistance. It simulates and restores the real scene of rowing to the greatest extent, and you can hear the sound of rushing water during the movement, so that you can feel the pleasure and comfort of wandering in the sea and have an immersive feeling.

Water-resistant rowing machines can be divided into wooden boards and steel plates according to different fuselage materials:

I. Water-blocking rowing machine

Woodcut water resistance rowing machine

Woodcut water-resistant rowing machines usually use high-grade imported logs or solid wood as the hull, which is natural and environmentally friendly, has high value, can see the beautiful patterns on the wood surface, can be well integrated with the home style, looks quaint and elegant, and has outstanding taste, and is the first choice of many elites (elite lawyers use woodcut water-resistant rowing machines).

B, steel plate water resistance rowing machine

Steel plate water resistance rowing machine

The steel rowing machine is forged in fine steel, which is made of durable material and does not need strenuous maintenance. Suitable for more frequent professional fitness needs. Merrick steel version water resistance rowing machine adopts the latest third-generation six blades, and upgrades the 18L large water tank, which has super resistance, smoother and more lasting rebound of built-in scroll spring, more detailed data record of professional code table, optional design of 45-degree golden angle water tank and higher cost performance.

The two versions only have different materials, the same functions and no difference in experience. If you only exercise in your spare time and like the natural feeling of solid wood, I recommend you to choose wood blocks; If you train regularly and have a lot of exercise, it is recommended to choose the steel version, which is more practical ~

Second, the wind resistance rowing machine

Wind resistance magnetic control rowing machine

Wind resistance rowing mainly produces resistance through the rotation of fan turbine blades, and uses spiral dampers to control air flow. Its advantages are high resistance, high exercise intensity, no water tank, no need for water injection, convenient storage and integrated molding; The disadvantage is that the noise is relatively loud.

Third, the reluctance rowing machine

Reluctance rowing machine

Reluctance rowing machine uses metal flywheel and magnet to produce resistance, and adjusts the resistance by changing the distance between them. Its characteristic is that the resistance can be adjusted according to different exercise intensity, and it is very quiet, with almost no noise (below 20db).

The above is an introduction to several types of rowing machines. You can choose according to your own needs.

▼ What parts can the rowing machine exercise? Rowing machine is a kind of equipment that simulates rowing. In the process of use, about 80% of the main muscle groups of the whole body will participate. Can exercise core muscle groups such as legs, waist and abdomen, arms, chest and back. Each stroke, these muscle groups will complete a complete contraction and extension to achieve the effect of exercise. It can be said that rowing machine is a complete and efficient whole-body exercise, full of fun and challenges.

Generally, there are six operating methods of rowing machine: joint exercise, sit-ups, rowing, chest expansion, abdominal muscle stretching and arm exercise. You can do both aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. The rapid rowing with great resistance in a short time is anaerobic, which exercises the explosive force of muscles; Uniform speed and low resistance can exercise muscle endurance, prefer aerobic, and achieve the fitness effect of reducing fat and strengthening heart and lung. Different operation methods and exercise focuses are different, so you can choose according to your own situation.

▼ Who is the rowing machine suitable for? The rowing machine can be used regardless of the object, whether it is the elderly, children or young adults, especially for people with large weight base who are inconvenient to run, have bad knees or have joint injuries of lower limbs. People who have a lot of fat accumulation in their arms, back and abdomen have a good effect on losing weight by exercising with rowing machine. It can effectively reduce the excess fat in abdomen, back and arms, and achieve the purpose of losing weight and bodybuilding.

Rowing machine is a very safe sport, and it is suitable for all ages. It is a very practical home fitness equipment. I hope my answer is helpful to you ~
