Complete, Low-impact Workout

Rowing engages every major muscle group in the body while putting almost no impact on the joints. This makes it ideal for people of all ages and sizes, for athletes with injuries, or as part of a cross-training routine. The Rowbike provides a full range of motion--enhancing strength, mobility and flexibility.

Health Benefits

Rowing is considered to be one of the top three exercises (including cross-country skiing and swimming) because it works all of the major muscle groups in both your upper and lower body for a full body, low-impact workout. According to Fritz Hagerman, Ph.D. of the Biological Science Department at Ohio University, rowing is the ultimate fitness sport. His research proved that competitive rowers expended almost twice the number of calories on a 2,000-meter course as a runner in a 3,000-meter steeplechase.

Fitness Benefits

- Burns approximately 50% more calories than an ordinary bicycle 
- Provides nearly twice the cardiovascular benefits as ordinary biking
- Burns the same number of calories per hour as jogging 
- Offers a low impact exercise--great for runners with knee injuries
- Delivers total body workout in ½ the time of a standard gym workout
