Indoor rowing machines give people a total body workout through stationary physical training. Used to simulate watercraft rowing, stationary rowing machines were developed for collegiate rowing teams in the 1950′s, and by the 1960′s, indoor rowers were quintessential for all college level, or professional rowers. While providing the same cardiovascular benefits as running, rowing machines are great because they do not put the same high impact pressure on your body that running on a treadmill does. Rowing machines are traditional pieces of exercise equipment that have been used for decades and their longevity can be attributed to many things, one of which is their simple drive system that controls resistance. Resistance created from a spinning flywheel, controlled by a braking system, is a very common on rowing machines. Indoor fitness rowers, controlled by braked flywheel resistance, are powered through a flywheel that is connected by by some kind of strap, rope or chain.

Stationary rowers with electromagnetic resistance use electromagnets and a flywheel to control resistance. Magnetic drive and braking systems are quieter than rowing machines with flywheels that are air and water resistant.

Air resistance, as many of us have seen on stationary exercise bikes, is another form of resistance and power for rowing machines. Models that use air-resistance have fan-like blades that are connected to the flywheel. As the speed of the flywheel increases, the resistance increases. Rowers with this type of air resistance are one of some of the loudest rowing machines in the fitness equipment industry.

Another form of resistance on rowing machines is water. With an enclosed tank of water, and a paddle in the center, water based rowing machines simulate the natural sounds one would hear if they were rowing in a pond, lake or ocean. Many of the newer rowing machines made by First Degree Fitness such the as the Fluid Neptune and Pacific are good examples of solid, well reviewed, water rowers. Water rowers emulate the smooth and natural rowing motions that one would feel when they are rowing in a real rowboat with oars, which is one of their many likable features.

Piston resistance is created from hydraulic cylinders that are connected to the arms of the rowing machine. Rowing machines that have pistons are typically smaller than water and air rowers. Besides structural differences between piston and water rowers, is that rowers with pistons have less of a natural rowing feel, than air, water and electromagnetic rowers. Typically smaller and less expensive than other rowing machines, piston rowers are not the health club caliber rowing machines one would use in a health club or fitness facility.

Today, millions of people use stationary rowing machines across the planet at their gym, health club, office, and home gyms. Whereas most fitness equipment is heavy, bulky and immobile, rowing machines are effective, easy to move and do not create an eye-sore that takes up half of your guest room.

We love Fluid Rowers because their products don’t come with noisy magnetic braking systems, messy cords, motors, or cables. A rowing machine with water controlled resistance is not prone to service issues like other traditional and old fashioned rowing machines, that use a chain or flywheel as a momentum base.

In addition to not coming with all of the hassles your ordinary rower comes with, this unique form of water resistance creates a natural, smooth and quiet sound. Since its sounds mimic those of a rower that one would use outdoors, this Neptune Rowing Machine will be far more pleasing to the ears, than your standard rowing machine, driven by a chain or belt.

Along with the soothing sound provided by a real-water rower, its bio-mechanics are ergonomically correct and this ground-breaking design, was produced with the intention of creating a rower machine compatible for people of all shapes and sizes. When you add all of these great features together the result is a one of a kind rowing machine that has the power to help you lose weight and build muscle.

Shedding those extra pounds and defining your muscles is easy with this Fluid Neptune Rower because when you exercise on a rowing machine you are hitting all of your different muscles and body parts. For example, when train on a rowing machine, you use your arms in conjunction with you back, abdomen, shoulders, chest, thigh, calf and any other body part of muscle that we are failing to mention. The point is that nothing is better for you than an intense workout on a rowing machine, that targets your entire body, rather than a stair climber or a treadmill that focus entirely on your the strength legs and cardiovascular health.

Our Neptune Rower was designed by professional rowers in an effort to mimic real on-water rowing through smooth natural motions, and the genuine sound of water splashing. So what are you waiting for?

Labor Day is here and hopefully you are not just getting fatter by the second and drinking lots of beer while you eat ribs and inhale greasy cheeseburgers. If you are one of those unfortunate souls, then you must exercise later so you can burn of some of the 10,000 calories you injested within the past hour. Seriously, are we just the fattest, groset nation on God’s green earth? I sometimes wonder if people do not have mirrors? Maybe they just do not have any self control or disciple at all. Let me tell you something and make it crystal clear, every single day of your life you either get better or you get worse. There is absolutely no in-between. Unfortunately, some people are sick/disabled/handicapped/unable to perform and therefore they can not control their own destiny. But for all of you who are in good enough health to exercise, have 2 arms and two legs, be ashamed of yourself if you are fat and overweight. Seriously ashamed, to say the absolute least. Is it that difficult to workout once every other day, or not eat 5 servings instead of 2? If your answer to that question is yes, than we feel for you, and you need to call us right away so you don’t waste your life sitting around liek a fat ass!
