A rower, also known as an ergometer, ergo, erg or rowing machine, is a piece of equipment used to simulate the action of rowing on land. Originally a training method, it has become established as a sport in its own right. The term also refers to a participant in this sport and rowing has long been recognized as the perfect aerobic pursuit.
"Rowing, indoors or outdoors, at any exercise level of intensity, requires a greater exercise expenditure than any other aerobic activity. Calories are burned in relation to the number of muscles used and the intensity and duration of the exercise. Rowing with a sliding seat uses a very large muscle mass since the upper, lower and trunk muscles are used vigorously”.
“Indeed,
the beauty of rowing is that anyone can do it, regardless of age, weight, sex
and physical condition. For more information on rowing visit us at our rowing
