Rowing Machine

Rowing machines come in two models: water and hydraulic. Both offer similar aerobic exercise and strength training benefits. Hydraulic models like the Stamina Body Trac Glider 1050 Rowing Machine are very reasonably priced ($115). The Fitness Quest Integrity 3000 Air Rower is a different design, costs more, but is still reasonably priced (a little more than $200). Rowers provide all-around fitness. All the major muscle groups are exercised, including abdominals and back muscles. Rowing machines are one of the few pieces of home gym exercise equipment that can strengthen the back. With sufficient intensity you can move enough air to create a cardiovascular or aerobics training effect as well as burn calories. Read the fitness article Are Rowing Machines The Perfect Exerciser?
