Rowing provides the body with one of the best workouts possible. This is because, like swimming, rowing works all of the body's major muscle groups as well as working your cardio-vascular system at the same time-all with just the one activity. Also like swimming, rowing is good no matter what a person's fitness level is. Is it any wonder that rowing machines are such a popular addition to the home gym?
Of course, during the warmer months a person could join a rowing team and do actual rowing in a boat, on a river or lake. Going out onto the water during the colder winter months, however, is much less desirable and that is why rowing machines are so popular. You get the same workout without the cold air, the wind and the getting wet in a boat on a river in the middle of winter. Unfortunately rowing machines can be rather expensive when bought brand new. Buying a used rowing machine is a great way to save money and get a great workout!
The first thing you will want to do when deciding to buy a rowing machine is to familiarize yourself with the different brands that are available. The major used rowing machine brands are Schwinn, Precor, Stamina, Bodycraft, Kettler, Concept2, Phoenix and Tunturi. After you've learned about the brands (and what the prices are for a new machine) decide on a fair price range for your used machine. Then head on over to your local paper or Craigslist and do some searching. You will be amazed at the number of places you'll be able to find a fairly priced, gently worn, used rowing machine. You can even buy them off of websites like Amazon.com, BitFitness.com and the Rowing Machine Superstore sell used rowing machines. Once in a while you can find a used rowing machine at GNC.
Always make sure, if you can, to take a look at the rowing machine before handing over your hard earned money and taking it home. Take it out of the box (if it comes with a box) and make sure that everything is still in tact. Take your time and make sure that all of the rowing machine parts are there. In the event that the used rowing machine is already put together (which is often the case when buying used rowing machines) give it a whirl. A quick trial row is the best way to make sure that the used rowing machine will meet your needs.
During the winter months, with the colder weather, nobody is going to want to don a spandex suit and then go row a boat over a cold, wet, splashy river. And with how expensive life has become, buying a brand new rowing machine isn't always in the cards. Finding a used rowing machine is a great way to make sure you get your complete workout and save money! All it takes is a little research and you will be rowing away in your own home in no time.
