Rowing machines are becoming increasingly popular, both gym rowing machines and indoor rowing machines which you can use in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Rowing is an extremely beneficial cardiovascular exercise and improves your arms, legs, shoulders, buttocks, and abdominal muscles.
Rowing is also great for burning calories, which can lead to fat loss, it is a natural impact-free action and a great way to boost your stamina. Rowing is thought to be one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises to boost your metabolism.
There are two main Stamina rowing machines that I’ve reviewed, please see below:
