Rowing Machines

Row Your Way to Great Health with a New Rowing Machine

Looking for a full–body workout at home? A rowing exercise machine offers good full body training that's non–weight bearing and low impact. The benefit is that rowing workouts offer levels of resistance while remaining gentle on joints, especially compared to high intensity exercises like running. If you're going to invest in one exercise machine, it's worth browsing the line–up of seated rowing machines for sale online at Harvey Norman. Don't forget that we also offer a fantastic selection of fitness accessories, smart watches and wireless headphones.

Which Muscles Does a Rowing Machine Work?

Rowing works all of the body's major muscle groups. A single rowing stroke targets your back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves, hip flexors, abs and even your wrists!

Using a rowing machine is an excellent aerobic exercise, too, increasing your heart rate and oxygen intake and improving your cardio fitness.

It's not hard to see why they are a popular choice in gyms across Australia.

What is the Best Rowing Machine?

Rowing machines offer either air resistance, magnetic resistance or water resistance. An air model — like the Everfit 4 Level — offers 4 manual levels of resistance. The faster and harder you row, the greater the resistance, a fantastic way to build strength and endurance.

Magnetic rowers also offer different levels of intensity to choose from. Quieter than air rowers, they minimise noise. The Lifespan Rower 442 is heavy duty cast iron, with 12 workout programs and built–in tracking. The BH Fitness S1RW Rower is an air/magnetic combination rower, offering the best of both resistance types.

Water rowing models provide smooth resistance. Like air rowers, they have an infinite intensity level depending on exertion. The WaterRower Natural features a handmade solid ash wood frame, patented waterflywheel technology and an S4 performance monitor to track speed, distance travelled, calories burned and more.
