The rowing machine is an excellent device for working out at home, both at the cardiovascular and muscular level. Practiced in a seated position, the rower avoids the joint overload of other machines. It works intensely on strength and endurance and, as it is an aerobic exercise, it provides good toning.
However, the purchase of a rowing machine requires a basic investment that is generally higher than that of a classic exercise bike, for example. This type of equipment will also require more space although it can fold up. It is therefore essential to be familiar with the various essential criteria allowing you to buy the best rower depending on your profile. For you, we have therefore drawn up a set of ten points on which to be vigilant.
These ten points to consider before investing in a rowing machine
1. How the device will be used and who will use it. To do this, we will determine your weight and height. If you are a tall person, you will need a device that offers a longer carriage than others, because otherwise the user will not be able to perform the full range of the exercise.
2. Will it be used sporadically or intensively? This aspect will allow us to evaluate the ideal materials in which the rower should be made: the axis, the joints, the bearings, etc. The structure of each machine will determine its resistance to use. The structure of each machine will determine its resistance to use. For example, occasional use may be between 3 and 7 hours per week.
3. Draft. The forward draft is already used by 90% of the machines, that is, the trawler type.
4. Space available. At the domestic level, practically all the models are foldable in L. But it is advisable to make sure of the space which one has once the open train.
5. The braking system. The most recommended is the magnetic system. It does not produce noise and wear is much lower. The others gradually disappear.
6. The length of the carriage. The longer the carriage, the more it resembles the movement of rowing. Thus, it generates a tension similar to the cadence of water. There is also the possibility of stiffening the tension.
7. Does the machine fix the saddle? The saddle is movable for the movement of the exercise, but if the machine allows it to be fixed, that’s not a bad thing, because it can be used to do sit-ups with the same rower.
8. The flywheel. The heavier it is, the more the exercise will be similar to that of a real rowing machine.
9. The structure should be as rigid as possible. This prevents vibrations and jolts that make the device unstable during exercise.
10. That it allows to measure our pulse, because this possibility helps us to control the data of our body. But it should be wireless, otherwise it’s very cumbersome to exercise and be ‘connected’ with cables to the rower”.
Do not hesitate to deepen your research further with specialized sites or on Youtube. Or even go to the store to try out the equipment and talk to specialist sellers.
