USE

Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In addition
to strengthening the heart and improving circulation,
it develops the various groups of large muscles: the
back, the abdomen, the arms, the shoulders as well
as the pelvis and the legs. Rowing also develops
muscular fl exibility without exertion of joints, and it is
a recommended form of exercise for those who suffer
from pains in the neck and shoulder area.

Working out using a rowing machine is excellent aerobic
exercise, the principle being that the exercise should
be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise
is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen
uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fi tness.
The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly
dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity.

Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You
should perspire, but you should not get out of breath
during the workout. You should exercise at least

three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach
a basic fi tness level. Maintaining this level requires

a few exercise
