FROM Flavio Holstein

Rowing is not only one of the most effective sports, it is also ideal for your home. It combines strength, endurance and health in a single movement - and takes up a minimum of space. If you are thinking of buying a Rowing machine you should realise the numerous benefits that this training offers. In this article, we'll show you why a rowing machine is the perfect choice for your workout, how it keeps you physically and mentally fit, and which benefits will win you over in the long term.

Improve heart health: A strong heart thanks to rowing training

Rowing is one of the most effective cardiovascular workouts. Regular exercise on the rowing machine improves oxygen transport in the body, strengthens the heart and reduces the resting heart rate. This means that your heart works more efficiently and stays healthy. Studies show that endurance sports such as rowing significantly reduce the risk of heart disease such as high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes.
If you train at home, you also have the advantage of being able to start at your own pace. No crowded gyms or long journeys - just sit on the rowing machine and get started.

Full body workout: almost all muscles are involved

A Rowing machine activates up to 85 % of your entire musculature. Legs, back, shoulders, arms and torso work with every stroke

together - and that's what makes rowing so effective. Whether you want to build muscle or define your body, a rowing machine is your perfect companion. It not only strengthens the large muscle groups, but also the stabilising deep muscles, which ensure good posture and a healthy back.

Another advantage: training on the Rowing machine increases your basal metabolic rate. This means you burn more calories even at rest, which makes you slimmer and fitter in the long term. And all without having to leave your living room!

Calorie killer: perfect for weight management

If you want to lose or maintain your weight, a rowing machine is the perfect choice. Rowing combines endurance and strength, allowing you to burn a lot of calories in a very short time. Depending on the intensity, you can burn up to 800 calories per hour - this is comparable to intensive running, but much easier on your joints.
At home, you have the flexibility to personalise your training. Whether you want to incorporate a short interval training session or plan a longer endurance session - with a Rowing machine adapts your workout perfectly to your needs.

Stress reduction: rowing for mental health

In addition to the physical benefits, rowing also offers mental benefits that are often underestimated. The steady, rhythmic movement not only helps to clear your head, but also to reduce stress. During training, endorphins - the so-called happiness hormones - are released, which lift your mood and give you a feeling of satisfaction. Many people report that they enter a meditative "flow state" when rowing, in which everyday life is simply forgotten.

 

Another advantage of training at home is that you can position your rowing machine exactly where it suits you. Whether in front of a window with a view, in a quiet corner or right in front of your favourite film - you can customise your environment and atmosphere. You have the freedom to train with music, an inspiring podcast or simply in complete silence. This makes rowing not only an effective workout, but also a time-out for body and mind.

Joint-friendly training: ideal for all ages

A Rowing machine is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to protect their joints. Unlike jogging or other impact-intensive sports, rowing does not cause any stressful impacts on the knees, hips or back. This makes it perfect for people with joint problems or older athletes.
The fluid movement on the rowing machine also ensures that you utilise your full range of motion and keep your joints mobile. Whether you are a beginner or have been training for a long time, rowing is a sport that you can practise well into old age.

Better posture: a strong foundation for your everyday life

Rowing specifically strengthens the muscles in the back, abdomen and shoulders - areas that are crucial for good posture. Many people suffer from back pain, which is often caused by weak core muscles or poor posture. Regular training on the rowing machine can significantly reduce these problems.
You can work on your posture at home without any distractions. A rowing machine not only gives you a fit body, but also a relaxed and pain-free attitude to life.

In the new video, Lars Wichert, your AUGLETICS coach, explains why rowing is the ideal sport for your home workout. Rowing strengthens the cardiovascular system, trains up to 80 % of muscles and effectively helps with weight management - it's easy on the joints and perfect for any age group. It also improves posture, reduces stress and provides mental balance. Lars shows how you can make the most of these benefits with AUGLETICS rowing machines. Watch now and find out more!
