Rower is a machine that trains and simulates rowing on water. Indoor rowing competition has become a professional competition. Indoor rowing is also commonly known as Ergometer (commonly known as ERGO or ergo abroad), which measures the power consumed by athletes during exercise.
The rowing machine has a good effect on strengthening the muscles of legs, waist, upper limbs, chest and back. Every stroke, the upper limbs, lower limbs, waist, abdomen and back will complete a complete contraction and extension in this process, which can achieve the effect of aerobic exercise of the whole body muscles. Especially for people with more fat in the waist, abdomen and upper arms, boating will bring you unexpected fitness effects.
Exercise action
When rowing, every stroke can exercise about 90% of the extensor muscles, so it is really good for the extensor muscles who hardly participate in any exercise at ordinary times. At the same time, it also plays an obvious role in training back muscles, which can make the back have a larger range of activities when the body flexes and stretches, and make all joints of the spine exercise. This can not only improve the elasticity of muscles, but also enhance their toughness.
When you practice rowing, you should pay attention to the consistency of your movements. Don't pause at every push and stretch, but do it properly. If the amplitude is too small, the muscles involved in exercise cannot be fully stretched or contracted. Simulate the natural action of rowing, suitable for gym and family sports, exercise the muscle tissues of hands, legs, waist and other parts, effectively exercise and stretch the muscle groups, especially for the back, which can relieve the symptoms of back pain.
