USE
Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In addition to strengthening the heart and improving circulation, it develops the various groups of large muscles: the back, the abdomen, the arms, the shoulders as well as the pelvis and the legs. Rowing also develops muscular flexibility without exertion of joints, and it is a recommended form of exercise for those who suffer from pains in the neck and shoulder area.
Working out using a rowing machine is excellent aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on its
Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You should perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the workout. You must, for example, be able to speak and not just pant while rowing. You should exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions.
Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because it is the only way of increasing the energy spent by the body. This is why it is always worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily
-at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. You should start slowly at a low pedalling speed and low resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and speed can be increased gradually.
Short sequences at heavy load increase maximum strength and muscular mass, longer sequences at a lighter load trim the body and develop stamina.
