about how many calories do i burn on a rowing machine in half an hour
Save. You won't burn many calories if all you do on a rowing machine is scoot the seat back and forth. But with proper technique -- a strong leg drive, paired with body and arm engagement -- you stand to burn more than 700 calories per hour, depending on your body weight.(Wavebreakmedia Ltd/Wavebreak Media/Getty Images).or example, Harvard Health Publications estimates that if you weigh 185 pounds, you'll burn about 311 calories in half an hour of moderate rowing. If you weighed 135 pounds, you'd only burn 210 calories in the same amount of time.
