SEATED ROWING MACHINE

Rowing is a total-body workout

The common misconception is the rowing works only your arms. In reality, rowing is a full-body workout. According to the American Fitness Professionals Association, the rowing stroke consists of 65–75% leg work and 25–35% upper body work.

It’s low impact

Rowing burns serious calories without putting added stress on your joints. It allows you to control the movement and pace and is a great exercise for active recovery. It’s sometimes recommended as an exercise option for people with early stages of osteoarthritis.(degenerative joint disease)

It can be meditative

There’s a mind-body connection with rowing. While you might find the most calming benefits by rowing outside on the water, you can still achieve some level of this indoors.
