Row Your Way Towards a Healthier You

While some people feel that paying for a gym membership makes them more likely to visit the gym, others have found a better way. A home gym featuring fitness equipment set up in the basement or extra room in the house is very convenient. It helps people stay motivated to work out no matter what the weather is like outdoors.

Many Abt customers have discovered that rowing machines are a great way to get a low-impact cardio session without having to leave the house. We sell from top fitness brands such as Life Fitness, Pro-Form, Spirit Fitness, Body-Solid, and NordicTrack. Check out the selection of machines we have online, stop by the store or give us a call. An Abt specialist will be happy to advise you on the various types we sell.

Lower Impact, Heightened Fitness

For a workout that is easy on the joints yet helps build muscle and improves cardiovascular fitness, rowing machines are a great choice in home gym equipment. Rowing is easy on the hips, knees, and ankles but still delivers a full-body exercise session. It's also optimal for weight loss. They're great as a part of your cross-training routine too.

The models Abt carries come in different styles and sizes. Some were designed with Fluid Technology to replicate the feeling of rowing on water. Movement on these is smooth and natural. Adjust the resistance levels as you improve your technique and build up your muscle endurance. Versions are available with as few as four easy-to-adjust resistance levels or up to 26 plus the option for manual air resistance.

Some models can be stored upright when not in use so you'll have more room for other equipment. Choose a version with an interactive HD touchscreen and work out with a personal trainer as you row all over the world, virtually, of course. These machines also provide stats on your workout so you can see your process.

Row Your Way to Fitness

We're all different and we have different workout needs. For some, treadmills function perfectly. For others, an exercise bike is the easier and more fruitful. For you, a rowing machine could be the way to a low-impact routine. Yours can be the center of your home gym or just one piece of your cross-training routine.

Some people suffer from old injuries that make jogging and biking painful on the joints. Rowing, however, is a low-impact activity that puts less stress on joints. This allows for longer, pain-free sessions for people of all ages. As far as burning calories, a moderate workout on one of these machines burns up to 300 calories per minute.

Key features of popular models include an adjustable LCD console, fold-up frame design, solid steel construction with aluminum monorail, and a built-in generator that doesn't require plugging the machine into an outlet. Some models also feature wireless remote hand control so you can adjust resistance without taking your hands off of the bar.

As sturdy as these are, they also operate quietly. Choose a water rower for that natural feel of moving on a lake as you perform a full-body routine. Models are available in colors black, silver, and stainless steel so they look good in any home gym.
