Rowing Machines for Sale Online

By Kirst Frangs

There are a lot of rowing machines for sale and if you are thinking of getting one for home use, then it's important to make sure you know what it is you are looking for. This is because not all rowing machines are alike, and some are more effective at giving you a total body workout than others.

Rowing was my life back when I was in college. I rowed for 4 years in total and started out a total beginner who was overweight and very unfit. I was amazed (as was my family) at how quickly I got into shape without an injury and how much I enjoyed it. Fifty percent of our training was in the gym on the ergometers. At first I thought they were easy to use, but that's because I didn't know the proper technique, but once I learned how to use them, I gained the full benefits of a total body workout.

But, this article is not about learning how to use the rowing machine or what's so amazing about it either. You want to find a rowing machine right? So let's get down to business.

When you first start looking around at the rower equipment, you will notice 2 distinct groups. One type of rowing machine has bars used as handles, and the other has a handle bar which is connected to a string, which passes through a flywheel. Both machines have a seat which moves along the bar and have a place to insert your feet. If you have been to a gym and seen or tried the rowing machine, you have most likely seen the Concept2 Rower which is the one with a flywheel. How do the 2 differ?

If you are not an ex rower and are not planning on improving your technique and want a compact rowing machine then the group with the metal bars should be just fine for you. If however, you have used the gym commercial rowing machines, then you have used a concept 2 rower machine. Once you have used this type of rower, nothing else compares to it and settling for the equipment with metal handle bars just might not satisfy you!

The concept ii rower is the commercial rowing machine of choice because it is so tough at the same time as being very effective. This machine is not just limited for commercial use and many people buy rowing machines like the concept ii for their personal home use. The prices range from just over $1000 and are rarely above $2000. If space is not a problem, and you don't need to fold up the machine, and if you want the best fitness rowing machine on the market, then consider the concept2. Concept 2 is not the only maker and you should also compare this to the WaterRower Rowing Machine, The Tunturi Rower, LifeCore Rowing and Kettler Rowing machines.

A cheaper exercise rowing machine for sale would be the category 1 machines that we mentioned. These machines are also more compact and portable (although not all the time) and can still give you a good workout. However the workout will not be as effective as what concept 2 machines will give you. Popular brands in this range are the stamina rowing machines and the cheaper end of the scale Kettler Rowing Machines.
