Rowing machines deliver an efficient cardio workout that involves nearly every major muscle group. FitnessTracker recommends rowing for its joint-friendly nature and ability to build both power and endurance at the same time.
Instructions
- Sit on the rower, secure your feet with the straps, and grab the handle with both hands.
- Start in the "catch" position: knees bent, body slightly forward, and arms extended.
- Push through your legs, then pull the handle toward your upper abs while leaning slightly back.
- Return to the start by extending your arms first, then bending your knees to slide forward.
- Maintain a smooth, continuous rhythm and upright posture throughout.
