What You Should Know About Rowing MachinesOther Benefits Rowing machines are good for all ages except very small children or heavily pregnant women because they are easier on the joints than most other pieces of home fitness equipment. And, you can row (or scull) as fast or as slow as you like and still get a good workout. Since they are popular, there are many varieties, brands and styles to choose from. They are considered standard pieces of equipment in professional gyms or health clubs, but a decent one can usually be purchased for about $500 (give or take a C-note). And they are very compact, so don't take up a lot of storage space when not in use. Some people like to roll them under their beds. Shopping Tips Before you lay down any money to buy any rowing machines, tell your doctor about your plan just to be sure that you are physically able to use a rowing machine. Don't expect to get the hand of a rowing machine right away - they need some getting used to. You need some instruction with your machine. Either try out one at a fitness shop, your friend's or a health club you are a member of (they really frown at random people just wandering in to test drive the rowing machines). If you can't do that, then be sure the rowing machine comes with detailed instructions. Some even come with instructional DVDs or videos. Whether you prefer to shop in real world stores or online, always be sure your potential store has an understandable return and refund policy. Be sure about any shipping or delivery charges before you buy. The average rowing machine weights about 70 lbs, so the shipping charges will be considerable because of the weight. If you buy online, be sure the online store has an understandable Privacy Policy and a customer service email or phone number that actually works. Do comparison shopping and have fun. |
