What should I pay attention to when using a rowing machine?

The rowing machine is a piece of equipment that simulates rowing exercise and has a good effect on strengthening the muscles of the legs, waist, upper limbs, chest, and back.

Rowing is a sport in which a boat is moved across the water using human power to paddle. According to the type of boat, there are three types: racing rowing, kayaking and rowing boat.

When rowing, each flexion and extension of the arm stroke can exercise about 90% of the extensor muscles, so it is of great benefit to the extensor muscles that hardly participate in any exercise in normal times. At the same time, it also has a significant effect on training the back muscles, allowing the spine to have a greater range of motion in forward flexion and backward extension, and exercising each joint of the spine. This not only improves the elasticity of muscles, but also enhances their toughness.

When practicing rowing, pay attention to the continuity of the movements. Do not pause in each pushing and stretching movement and make sure it is done properly. If the amplitude is too small, the muscles involved in the movement will not be fully stretched or contracted.

It simulates the natural action of rowing, and is suitable for gyms and home exercises. It can exercise the muscle tissues of the hands, legs, waist and other parts, effectively exercise and stretch the muscle groups, and is particularly effective for the waist and back, which can relieve back pain symptoms.
