Do you want to get super fit and toned? Then you have to check out rowing machines for sale online to browse through the popular and in demand models and get one. If any person wants an exercise machine for home and wants a full body work out, then the fitness rowing machine is what you should take a good, hard look at.
Being an ex rower I know what it means to train in the gym and believe me, I used those concept 2 rowing machines day in and day out. As hard as the workout was, and as exhausted as I felt after each session, I noticed how quickly my body got into shape. Being a regular gym user, and having used all the fitness equipment, I can honestly say that the ergometer is one of the most challenging and physically demanding pieces of equipment.
But this article is less about getting into shape and more about the actual rowing machine. Rowing machines are sometimes called Ergometer's or Elliptical Machines and a lot of times you will hear the term Concept 2 Rower. The concept ii rower is just one of the models and the most commonly used at the gym.
There are 2 main types of rower fitness equipment. Both have seats that glide up and down a steel track but one of them has a fixed handle bar which you pull on in order to get the upper body workout and the other is simply a handle attached to a nylon thread which runs through a fly wheel. So what is the actual difference in use between the two?
The first one with the metal handle bars means that your arm and hand height are fixed according to the movement of the bars. It is not a natural rowing action. The second type of fitness rower lets you choose the level of your hands and arms. Generally speaking as you slide up the bar, the nylon thread should always stay parallel to the ground and not move in a semi circular movement. (You might think otherwise after watching a couple of people at the gym - usually their actions are a tad messed up!)
The type 2 machines are a bit more expensive than the type one erg machines. But in terms of quality, comfort and fitness, the rowing machine that uses a flywheel is the best. This is why most gyms, high schools and rowing institutes have the concept 2 rower. It's the best way to train rowers off the water.
