Rowing has long been recognised as the perfect
aerobic pursuit. Not just rowers, but athletes from other sports and those
seeking a healthy lifestyle have been using rowing machines for many years
as part of their training and general fitness routines. Sportspeople from a
wide variety of sports have long recognised that using a rowing machines
enables them to increase their fitness levels in a safe, low impact
environment. This is especially the case with a WaterRower, as our indoor
rowing machine is designed to load the body evenly. If staying in shape and
losing weight are the priorities of your clients, then the WaterRower is the
perfect machine to offer your users.
"Rowing, indoors or outdoors, at any exercise
level of intensity, requires a greater exercise expenditure than any other
aerobic activity. Calories are burned in relation to the number of muscles
used and the intensity and duration of the exercise. Rowing with a sliding
seat uses a very large muscle mass since the upper, lower and trunk muscles
are used vigorously"
"One of the main advantages of ... using a
WaterRower machine is the sitting position of rowing which removes the
exerciser's body weight from the injury-prone hip, knee and ankle joints and
therefore reduces the potential of impact injury to these joints commonly
associated with aerobic exercise."
“We ... believe the WaterRower to be the best
on the market. They were also rated by Consumer Digest Magazine as a "best
buy" product. This machine uses a patented WaterFlywheel almost the
identical movement of a sliding seat rowing shell... producing a smooth,
rhythmic motion and an impact free work out for any level of fitness or
age."
