The Concept2 machines are the probably the best rowing machines on the market, the latest models will probably set you back quite a bit but feature optional accessories such as log cards which can be set up with a computer to track your times and fitness and are really comfortable to use (I speak from experience! )

Arms, legs, chest, back, abs – even your mind. Your whole body gets a complete workout from the efficient, rhythmic motion of rowing. Rowing is such a great exercise in so many different ways.

- Low-impact (easy on the knees and ankles)
- High calorie burner (because it uses so many muscle groups)
- Great for joint health (joints move through a wide range of motion)
- Upper body (completes the stroke)
- Lower body (the legs initiate the drive)
- Works the back and abs too
- Superb aerobic fitness (great for cardiovascular fitness)
- Relieves stress (for overall health and well-being)
