Rowing offers a high intensity workout for multiple groups of muscles at once, which is why professional rowers often have a very well rounded physique.
Unlike many other popular exercise machines, air rowers can target nine muscle groups that comprise just over 80% of the muscles in the body with one single stroke of motion. This makes it a great machine for those who want to build muscle, rather than just focusing on cardio. But it will definitely give your heart a workout too!
This is because the movement required to row targets the lower body, including the quads and glutes, and also the upper body and core at the same time.
