If you want to workout at home, build up your aerobic fitness, burn-off calories, and sculpt your back, hamstrings and glutes, look no further than this home rowing plan. At DadBodBoutique we’ve picked the top-5 machines that take the principles of a rowing crew on an actual rowing boat and applies them to any indoor setting, so—in most cases—no water necessary.
These rowing machines offer a great chance to switch up your cardio routine when you get sick of the treadmill or elliptical, while also working your entire body in a way no running routine can. That’s just one reason why it’s a great idea to have a rower handy.
Since rowers are (relatively) compact, they can make a great addition to your home gym. Especially if you’re treadmill-phobic or bike-averse. Here are our top picks for the best ones to add to your home gym setup.
