The best reason to start rowbiking is to get hella fit. You might have heard that rowing is a great workout, burning over 700 calories per hour. That means it’s great for cardio.
It’s easy to get cardio, but the rowbike offers unique resistance training. By shifting to a higher gear, the rowing motion becomes more and more difficult and the bike goes faster. The same effect occurs while riding up hills. If you use a rowbike to get around town, or to commute to work, then you’re basically doing deadlifts while you get to your destination. That’s important because studies show that resistance training is crucial for weight loss. Building muscle means that you not only look good naked, you also have a higher metabolism!
