To make use of all the benefits of rowing, you don’t need to get into a boat, nor do you need to be a professional rower. Just sitting on a rowing simulator, where you will use up to 86% of all your muscles, will do. You will be able to perform a great workout regardless of your level of physical fitness. In return, your work will become more endurable and stronger, all this without straining your joints as it happens with running or plyometric exercises. Rowing is beneficial even for the heart and lungs.

If you’re already bored on the treadmill or elliptical bikes, it’s definitely time to try rowing. Your body will be grateful.
