How to Use Rowing Machine | Fitness How To | POPSUGAR Fitness

Sweating it out on the rowing machine is a great cardio workout, and unlike the treadmill, it's usually sitting empty so you can hop on and get working at any time. Added bonus: the rowing machine also works the upper back, arms, legs, and, yes, even core. And while it may seem like an obvious movement, there's definitely some technique involved. Watch as endurance athlete Josh Crosby from Equinoxteaches us how to master the stroke and shares his tips for maximizing this workout.

Good to see a demonstration by a real rower who knows what they are doing. Lots of people use the rowing machine with poor technique and there are even videos on YouTube which show incorrect technique.

This machine is excellent. I'm recovering after knee surgery (result of a gymnastics injury 35 years ago!) and the rower is perfect to give you a good workout without impact.

I have this rowing machine at home. It’s awesome for me, a mum of two wanting to do some low-impact workout to get back into shape 🔥

I'm very pleased with this row machine. My 15 year old had it put together in less than an hour. Machine works great!

I've been rowing for 3.5 weeks . I am addicted. Rowing works my breathing . I notice rowing helps with my running.

I agree with the comments " this is one of the best sports EVER! ". Rowing is a full-body exercise.

My gym has a couple of these machines. Been wanting to try them but I have new workout anxiety. Gonna give it a try after seeing the video. Honestly. Seeing how the screen worked was huge

I wanted. full body workout like swimming without have to find a pool shower, etc. I just started rowing and I love it. You can do a 20 min and you feel great. I can feel my whole body tingling. I'll do twenty on elliptical as well.

Wonderful, you made rowing look so simple. But it's that easy, yeah not impossible also. Thanks for making the video 👍

I bet Frank Underwood wached this video haha

[letsgopatriots]

Just a tip, any exercise you do you really should be using a tight grip, builds your wrists and forearms

[MegaMusical]

Best tutorial I've seen, thanks!

[PeterPorsche]

This A1 model comes with a wider feet gap than a classic one. Is that better for joints?

[michaelschneider]

how many minutes should you water row. is it good to do after an elptical 35min work out. how many calories or weight can you lose if you do it daily or maybe every 3 days. how many minutes should you do it?

[kamilleseven]

I can't look at this now and not think of house of cards and Mr Kevin Spacey LOL!

[NigelXie]
