Whether rowers, windsurfers, canoeists - In winter training, the rowing ergometer is one of the best machines for training basic and strength endurance among competitive athletes. For more muscle groups at the same time than with almost any other endurance exercise. Three months of regular rowing and you will feel the difference in summer. The Concept 2 Indoor Rower belongs to the high-end class and is standard in top studios. The rowing experience is first-class due to the even, infinitely variable resistance of the wind wheel and the cleanly rolling seat. However, the right technique is also important here. Only those who row like they do in a boat will achieve good performance. Instruction videos are available here likewise.
