An air rowing machine simulates competitive rowing on land using a fan for air resistance. It provides a full-body workout and is effective for both strength and cardio. The user sits on a metal bar with a seat attached and uses their legs, back, and arms to row.
An air rowing machine is a piece of exercise equipment that allows an athlete to simulate the act of rowing competitive boats while on land. An air rowing machine gets its name from the use of a large fan that spins when the athlete uses the machine. This fan creates air resistance, which, in turn, provides resistance to the athlete, giving them a workout. Air rowing machines provide an effective workout for various muscle groups while providing a strong cardiovascular workout.
The shape of an air rowing machine allows the user to simulate the motion a competitive rower uses to propel the boat. The machine consists of a metal bar with a seat attached to it with a set of rollers. These rollers allow the seat to slide up and down the metal bar.
The bar also has a set of feet at each end to provide stability, and has two bars or pads protruding from its side for the athlete’s feet. Many air rowing machines include a belt that helps keep the athlete secure in the seat while performing the exercise. At one end of the air rower is a large fan that is attached to a cord. This cable runs out of the fan and over a pulley, then connects to a handle or handles.
To use an air rower, an athlete first sits on the seat and grasps the handle or handles that are attached to the cable. The athlete then places their feet on the foot supports. Once secured in the seat, the athlete begins by leaning forward at the waist and bending the legs to draw the sear toward the fan at the end of the exercise machine while he extends his arms until they are nearly locked in front of him. The athlete then uses their leg muscles to move their body away from the fan. At the same time, the athlete uses the muscles of the lower back to straighten the body, and uses the muscles of the upper back and biceps to pull the handle toward the chest.
The key to using an air rower as an effective strength machine is to perform the exercise quickly. When the athlete pulls on the handle, the cable causes the fan at the end of the machine to spin very quickly. This results in air resistance and therefore makes the cable more difficult to pull. As a result, the athlete must pull harder and thus get a better workout. When an athlete pulls on the cable faster, the fan moves faster and the resistance increases, providing a more intense strength workout.
An air rowing machine is also very effective as a cardio machine. Repetitive motion is very effective as a form of full-body cardiovascular exercise. Additionally, the gentle nature of the movement means that an air rower provides a low-impact workout that avoids stressing the joints of the body.
