Rowing is the perfect exercise for improving cardiovascular and physical fitness and effectively trains the whole body. In rowing, about 60 percent of energy comes from the legs with the rest coming from the upper body. The horizontal movement in seated position is easy on the joints, since they are not strained by gravity or, in most cases, torsional forces. For this reason, rowing is categorized as a low-impact sport. Don’t be fooled by this label, however. Rowing actually consumes a lot of energy, letting you burn up to 600 calories per hour depending on speed and resistance.
