The most effective piece of gym equipment you can buy yourself is the rowing machine which will dramatically improve your fitness and body in the most efficient way possible. The results can be amazing.
For an all out cardio routine that will blast all your muscles you cant beat a rowing machine. Nothing, with the exception of swimming, comes close to working your entire body and therefore the results are seen all over your body.
There is also a dramatic reduction in the chance of injury while using a rowing machine. Many impact injuries arise from using other forms of equipment such as treadmills (terrible for knees and hips) but the rowing machine is a smooth motion so your body will thank you.
The rowing machine looks like an easy piece of equipment to use but you still have to know how to use it correctly. The one area that could experience discomfort is your back. Nobody likes back pain but as long as you use the right form you shouldnt have a problem.
With so many rowing machines on the market it is easy to get confused about which one to buy but you shouldnt worry too much. What you definitely dont want to do is buy a cheap and nasty one from your local discount store. I have even seen rowing machines for sale in supermarkets. Avoid these at all costs.
You can spend as much as $1500 on a professional concept 2 rowing machine but it is unlikely you will need to spend this much. If you are serious about buying a rowing machine then I wouldnt advise spending less than $200 or you will be seriously sacrificing the quality of the machine.
If you decide to buy a rowing machine I am very pleased for you because you are going to buy a fantastic fitness machine that if used consistently will bring amazing results. But persistence is the key to all fitness programs. Dont get frustrated with it I promise the results will come.
It is easy to become bored of using the rowing machine but this lethargy must be avoided at all costs if you are to get maximum benefit from it. I have my rowing machine positioned near the television so I can be entertained while I row. You can do something similar while you work out.
