Why a rowing machine for the home is a great choice

FROM Flavio Holstein

A Rowing machine for at home is a real fitness all-rounder that adapts perfectly to your everyday life - no more stressing about getting to the gym or finding a parking space! Imagine rolling straight from the sofa to the gym. Rowing machine and start your workout without any fuss. Rowing uses over 85 % of your muscles, making it a real full-body workout: it strengthens your legs, back, core and arms in equal measure. Just 2-3 sessions of 20 minutes per week will give you a noticeable boost - and all without having to leave the house. And let's be honest, who can say "no" to a workout that you can integrate so easily into your daily routine?

What should I look out for in a rowing machine for home use?

Now you may be asking yourself: "What should I actually look out for when I buy a Rowing machine bring home?" Good question, because not every rowing machine suits every home - and every fitness goal. Here are a few points that could be important if you want to set up your workout at home:

Compact and space-saving - without having to fold up

A rowing machine can take up quite a lot of space. Some machines can reach a whopping 2.5 metres in length! So unless you have your own fitness room, a more compact machine makes more sense. Make sure that it fits your height so that you can stretch out fully without taking up half the room. Folding models are of course ideal because you can simply move them out of the way after your workout.

Imagine you want to relax and row in the evening while everyone else in the flat or house is asleep. A wind or water-braked device can make a lot of noise. If silence is important to you, you should look for a magnetic brake - like the AUGLETICS Eight Style. This model remains whisper-quiet even at full power, so you can train at any time of day or night without anyone feeling disturbed.

A good adjustable resistance makes it easy for you to switch between relaxed endurance training and challenging HIIT - and also allows several people with different fitness levels to use the device. Because whether you want to call out your inner champion or simply row at a leisurely pace, both are possible with the right resistance option.

Motivation through entertainment - because rowing doesn't have to be boring

Motivation through entertainment because rowing doesn't have to be boring

Let's be honest: even the most effective workout can sometimes become a challenge if your motivation wanes. Modern rowing machines offer integrated screens and entertainment options to help you stick with it. You can enjoy Netflix, YouTube or a virtual rowing tour on the side, giving your workout a special kick. With a rowing machine that also supports you in terms of entertainment, it's simply easier to push yourself and keep up the training in the long term.
