Rowing machines simulate rowing a boat, which is a wonderful workout for many different reasons. Rowing burns calories, and fast. On average you can burn about 600 calories an hour using a row machine. They are also ideal for people with joint and back problems because you are only using your arms, and placing no strain on your back or joints. Rowing is an endurance exercise so it will increase your stamina exponentially, as well as improve your cardiovascular functions, build and tone muscles in the arms and back, and reduce stress.
