Not Sure What Indoor Rowing is All
About?
You are not alone. Unfortunately, it
has been a well kept secret at most health clubs. When people get proper instruction and
are able to experience the many benefits received from rowing, they wish
they had discovered it much earlier.
But, if you are between 8 and 80,
elite level athlete or novice, indoor rowing might just be for you.
It's the fastest way to get in shape, stay in shape, lose weight, gain
strength and flexibility, pump up your heart-rate and even cross train for
other activities like cycling and running.
Indoor rowing classes are similar to
spinning classes, except that every major muscle group is
involved. Getting proper instruction is vital to attaining the proper
technique. Recognized as the ultimate calorie burning exercise, indoor
rowing is a great way to boost your metabolism. It provides one of
the most rewarding forms of exercise as it works every major muscle group
of the body and it is a great cardiovascular workout.
Study
Supports Rowing for Astronaut Fitness
Dr. Benjamin Levine, medical
researcher working with the National Space Biomedical Research Institute
said the following on the Earth & Sky Radio Series:
”We looked to
the sporting world and asked, which athletes have the biggest hearts, the
densest bones, the biggest muscles. And that was a pretty quick answer:
it’s rowers. Levine said that rowing is a very unique exercise. He
said it’s like a combination of weight training and endurance
training. Plus the blood pressure goes up high with each stroke, so
it’s a good, solid workout for the heart. And it appears the rowing regimen does
keep the hearts, bones and muscles of astronauts fit, while cutting the
time spent on exercise by more than half”.
In essence, indoor rowing is
a very time efficient workout. Since
it uses every major muscle group, plus cardiovascular, all in one exercise,
you can accomplish more in less time than with any other form of
exercise.
