FROM Lars Wichert

The new year is here, and with it the chance to set new goals and leave old habits behind. Many of us resolve to live healthier, get fitter or finally do more sport. But the key to a successful new start lies in choosing the right training method. A Rowing machine offers you one of the best ways to put your resolutions into practice. Let's discover together why "rowing machine training" is the perfect start to your new self.

Why rowing machine training is ideal for new beginners

The Rowing machine is much more than a simple fitness machine - it offers a unique combination of strength and endurance training that will delight beginners and advanced users alike. Especially the AUGLETICS Eight Style takes the benefits of rowing training to a new level and makes it the perfect choice for anyone who wants to get off to a fresh start.

Full-body training made easy

With every rowing stroke, you work over 85 % of your entire musculature - from your legs to your torso and arms. This makes rowing one of the most effective full-body workouts. The AUGLETICS Eight Style provides you with optimum support: thanks to the integrated Virtual Coach, you receive real-time feedback on your technique and can ensure that you perform the movement correctly. This means you benefit from safe and effective training right from the start.

Effectiveness meets comfort

One reason why rowing is ideal for beginners is its efficiency. You combine endurance and strength training in a single movement - this saves time and ensures quick results. Whether it's interval training or an endurance session, each session brings you closer to your goals and fitness level.

Gentle on the joints

Compared to other endurance sports such as running, rowing is particularly easy on the joints. The flowing movements put hardly any strain on tendons and ligaments and are therefore ideal for beginners, people with knee or hip problems or those who want to get back into training after an injury. With the quiet, even magnetic resistance of the AUGLETICS Eight Style you train gently and yet intensively.

Motivation through smart technology

Motivation is often the sticking point, especially for newcomers. This is where the AUGLETICS Eight Style with its large touchscreen and innovative features. Not only can you track your progress in real time, but you can also watch series on Netflix or play your favourite music while you train. This makes your workout not only effective, but also entertaining.

Flexible and space-saving

Another highlight of the AUGLETICS Eight Style is its space-saving design. The rowing machine can be easily folded up and stowed away so that it fits easily even in small flats. This makes it easier than ever to exercise regularly without disrupting your everyday life.

In short: The Rowing machine - especially the AUGLETICS Eight Style - is the ideal choice to start the new year fit. It combines full-body training, comfort, safety and motivation in one device and ensures that you not only set your New Year's resolutions, but also achieve them.

Advantages of rowing machine training for your good intentions

Calorie burning and weight reduction

The Rowing machine is a real calorie killer. During intensive training, you can burn up to 800 calories per hour. This makes rowing not only effective for building muscle, but also for losing weight. Compared to other endurance sports such as running or cycling, it is also easy on your joints.

Improving posture and back health

Rowing is the perfect balance, especially for people who sit a lot. The exercise strengthens the core muscles and improves posture. Back pain, which is often caused by poor posture, can be alleviated or even prevented with regular training.

Stress reduction and mental strength

Rowing not only has physical benefits, but also has a positive effect on your mind. The rhythmic movement helps you to reduce stress and clear your head. At the same time, the physical exertion promotes the release of endorphins, which lift your mood.

Flexibility and independence

A Rowing machine at home gives you the freedom to train regardless of gym opening hours or the weather. You can start at any time, saving you valuable time.
