An effective cardiovascular workout, rowing strengthens muscles while having at the same time a beneficial effect on the lipometabolism.
Basic rowing machines such as the Kettler Cup and the Kettler Favorit work by means of oar levers, while resistance is regulated by hydraulic cylinders. The Kettler Kadett operates with a characteristic outrigger design that simulates "real rowing" far more naturally than the basic machines. Resistance is likewise produced by hydraulic cylinders.
The "better" the rower, the more extensive the functions and training options. Additional strength exercises are available with the Kettler Coach 2007.
On the Kettler Coach 2007 and the Tunturi R 606, as well as on the R 610, the R 710 and the Schwinn Windrigger, rowing is done with a hand grip fixed to a cord. The movement is such a close simulation of rowing on the water that even rowing clubs train on such machines.
The Kettler Coach 2007 has a magnetic brake; and 18 additional strength exercises are possible!
The Tunturi R 606 is comparable to the Kettler Coach 2007 in terms of comfort. Its predecessor received a "good" rating in the 1997 trials of the Stiftung Warentest, but it had "only" band-brake resistance.
New to the market is the Tunturi R 610, which adds to the successful design and popularity of the Tunturi R 605 (improved successor: Tunturi R 606) an exclusive flywheel design and a magnetic brake that give one the feeling of real rowing. The Tunturi R 610 is even equipped with a Polar pulse receiver for telemetric pulse measurement (transmitter available as accessory).
The wind wheel of the Horizon Oxford offers you that realistic rowing feel: at a higher pace the wind wheel produces more resistance, simulating real rowing to near perfection.
New to our stores is the Schwinn Windrigger. Its wind wheel makes for an exceptionally realistic rowing workout, while its Regatta simulation and 3 included training programs add extra motivation and variety to your rowing workout.
