   In order to get an optimal and safe workout on a rowing machine, it is suggested to practice a few stability techniques and  balance exercises before starting your fitness routine. Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now working out on a rowing machine is an ideal method to achieve a fantastic cardiovascular workout, upper and lower body strengthening and weight loss.  Using a rowing machine is a very efficient way to burn calories, get your heart rate elevated and build upper and lower body strength. Here's why-- with each stroke in rowing,  pretty much every part of the body is used. The rowing motion uses 60 percent legs and 40 percent upper body as well as core muscles. Garrett Roberts, an exercise physiologist and personal trainer says that,  "Rowing burns two to three times the amount of calories of Spinning." "Unlike a bike, which only has resistance in one direction, rowing has resistance in both directions—forward and back—making you much stronger and increasing the rate at which you burn calories."

 Balance Exercises To Be Safe On A Rowing Machine

    Before jumping on a rowing machine, it is recommended that you start with a few simple stability strategies and balance exercises. Since the rowing machine involves a sliding seat which constantly moves back and forth as well as movement of your back from about a 2 O'clock to 10" O' Clock position, it is good to learn how to control how your body weight shifts during motion. As an example, when you first sit on the rowing machine seat, start with centering your body weight as if there is a plumb line flowing through your head, spine, middle of your pelvis and into the seat on the machine. Next, as you slide back and forth on the rowing machine, try to control your body weight shifting by keeping your core muscles tight and by imagining your upper body moving through an arc from 2-10 O'clock. You can learn practical strategies on how to maintain your body alignment and how to perform needed balance exercises by following along with the instruction of a knowledgeable Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
