Rowing is a great all round exercise It develops firstly and most importantly the heart and lungs, it works on the legs, bum, arms, shoulders, back and specifically targets the stomach area. Correct technique is essential - which we are very happy to demonstrate and this is important when purchasing a rower, to maximise the benefits for you! Many rowers are now designed as air-roweres which means the resistance is determined by how much effort you put into each stroke.
