Do you want to get fit and have fun at the same time? Then a rowing machine is the perfect device for you. Rowing is a super effective full-body workout that promotes both endurance and strength. But which rowing machine is right for you? In this blog post you will find out what you should pay attention to.

The different types of rowing machines

Rowing machines come in three main categories:

• Water-braked rowing machines are the most realistic. The resistance arises from the resistance of the water. Water-braked rowing machines are usually very quiet and offer a gentle training experience that is very close to rowing on water.

• Air-braked rowing machines are also realistic. The resistance is caused by air resistance. Air rowing machines are usually a little louder than water rowing machines, but offer a similar training experience.
• Magnetic braked rowing machines are controlled and consistent. The resistance is created by magnets. Magnetically braked rowing machines are usually very quiet and are therefore also suitable for use at home.

Which type of rowing machine is right for you?

Choosing the right type of rowing machine depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a realistic and gentle training experience, a water braked rowing machine is the right choice for you. If you are looking for a controlled and consistent training experience, a magnetically braked rowing machine is the right choice for you.
