Air Rowing machine

Air Rowing machines are a great way to get a full-body workout, but how do they compare to the other types of cardio out there? It all depends on how you use it; I suppose. But generally speaking, “air rowing machines” and others provide great total-body workouts. If performed properly, rowing works the following systems: legs (pushing - similar movement to a deadlift) and, to a lesser degree, pulling (you have to get back to the starting position somehow…) arms (pulling) core (bracing, plus if you’re doing it right, you’re going to be leaning forward a little as well as leaning back, which works the core muscles a bit) cardio endurance - try a sprint Tabata (8 rounds of 20 second sprints at 80–90% max effort with 10 seconds of rest between) and see if you can do anything other than lie on the floor for a minute or two afterwards! :)
