Once you've started rowing, you're probably going to want to keep doing it for years. You see how it builds up your chest, shoulders, arms, and back as it tones your torso, buttocks, and legs. Who wouldn't want to stay fit for life?
Can your rowing machine keep up with you? Let's examine different types of indoor rowers and their longevity. The most durable model in the Stamina line of rowers is the hydraulic action Stamina 1205 Precision Rower. It has a 5-year warranty on its steel frame and 90 days on its parts. Air-powered Concept2 Indoor Rowers have a 5-year warranty on their steel frames as well but 2 years on parts and the monitor. All the German-engineered Kettler Rowing Machines have a lifetime warranty on their frames and 3 years on parts and labor.
Of course, there are other important considerations, such as price and weight capacity. The Stamina 1205 Precision Rower is the lowest-priced among the models mentioned so it's a very good deal if it fits your budget and you weigh 250 lbs. or less. Kettler rowing machines are priced from the mid- to high-level. They can seat slightly heavier persons who weigh up to 285 lbs. Concept2 Air Rowers are the most high-end in terms of price but you have to consider the fact that they are extremely heavy-duty, with the capacity to carry individuals weighing up to 500 lbs!
And remember, the secret to effective indoor rowing is using the proper technique!
