The load is freely adjustable between the base and

USE
Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In addition to
strengthening the heart and improving circulation, it
develops the various groups of large muscles: the back,
the abdomen, the arms, the shoulders as well as the
pelvis and the legs. Rowing also develops muscular
flexibilitywithoutexertionofjoints,anditisa recommended
form of exercise for those who suffer from pains in the
neck and shoulder area.
Working out using a rowing machine is excellent aerobic
exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be
suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is
basedonimprovingthebody’smaximumoxygenuptake,
whichinturnimprovesenduranceandfitness.Theability
of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on
its oxygen-uptake capacity.
Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You
should perspire, but you should not get out of breath
during the workout. You must, for example, be able to
speak and not just pant while rowing. You should
exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a
time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this
level requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once
thebasicconditionhasbeenreached,itiseasilyimproved,
simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions.
Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because it
istheonlywayofincreasingtheenergyspentbythebody.
This is why it is always worthwhile to combine regular
