The Ski-Row is easily one of the most versatile cardio machines you can find. A rowing machine on its own has a long list of training benefits, as does a skiing ergometer. The fact that the Ski-Row combines these two machines for approximately the same cost as one good quality rowing machine makes this a great option for a home gym, or fitness facility.
Benefits of a Rowing Machine:
- Total body workout
- Great for all fitness levels
- Low impact cardio, less strain on joints
- Mind-Body connection, requires a little more brain power & coordination
- Great for your heart and lungs, more challenging than other cardio options
- Efficient, you don't need to necessarily row for a long time to reach your goals
- Space saving
Benefits of a Skiing Ergometer:
- Total body workout
- One of the only cardio machines that targets the upper body & core
- Low impact cardio, less strain on joints
- Great for those who have lower body injuries that still want to train cardio
- Great cross training tool for all levels
- Efficient, much like a rower you don't need to ski for a long time to feel the burn
- Space saving
- Engaging and unique
As you can see, many of the benefits of a rowing machine are the same as the benefits of a skiing ergometer, but having the option to use both is adding a whole new range of motion to your workout and DOUBLE the amount of exercises.
I can't stress enough how versatile this machine is. While other cardio machines will involve your upper body and core, the Ski-Row is one of the only pieces that will truly challenge them. When the skiing ergometer is used correctly you can target your triceps, lats, shoulders and abdominals in one smooth, low impact motion. In just five seconds, you can switch from a Ski-Erg to a Rowing Machine targeting your lower body, upper body and core.
