Sunny Well being & Health Rowing Machines – Magnetic & Water Choices with Enhanced Options, Excessive Depth, and Non-obligatory SunnyFit App Connectivity

I love this rower! Satisfying, demanding, full-body workout.
I love a range of paddling, including competitive, but have never much cared for regular rowing machines as a dry-land substitute. They don’t feel like real rowing; don’t engage the whole body, with a stroke more appropriate for a T-Rex, and offering no resistance for legwork. After being cooped up at home for months, I wanted to really move. I have a stationary bike, great for legs but not much else. I thought about an eliptical, but that’s a very restricted range of motion. Then I did a little research and selected this incline rower, and I am so happy I did!While it doesn’t capture the precise feel of paddling kayaks, canoes, outriggers, dragon boats, or SUPs, it definitely comes closer to the full body workout those boats provide than the kind of rowers you typically find at the gym. The motion most resembles the feel of sculling or rowing shells – or even the kick-off from the wall in a butterfly stroke in swimming.You can adjust the resistance by adjusting the incline, since the resistance is all body weight, from nearly level to steep enough for an intense workout. (But my one complaint – the process – unscrewing the pin, pulling it out while sliding to the desired position – would be easier for someone with three hands. And the instructions weren’t great. I had to look online, for that and for guidance on how to use for safe, effective workouts.)You can also target specific muscle groups or motions by adjusting where you grip the handles, where in the stroke sequence you begin to engage the arms, and whether you keep the motion tight to the sides in parallel, out at arms length, rotating like a butterfly stroke, or anything in between.When I work from home, I take a break every couple of hours to row, alternating from warm up paddle rates to high intensity 3 minute race sets and back again, then get back to work. Then I do longer sets after work, mixing it up whether I work just my legs, just my arms, full forward stretch, full body extension before the pull, parallel arms vs. circular motion, etc. – lots of options, unlike regular rowers). My back and shoulders are way happier now.This rower is more compact than most, only 51″ long, about 40 pounds, with wheels on one end that make it pretty easy to move around (so it’s not a chore to put it away between uses). It’s pretty stable stood on end for storage and doesn’t take a lot of space. It feels plenty sturdy, even for a user who’s 6’2″ and 215 lbs (though max capacity is 250 lbs). All in all, thoughtfully and well designed.

Unusual Workout
The machine assembled easily. The quality of it looks and feels good. It is sturdy and operates smoothly. It is unlike typical rowing machines. It uses one’s bodyweight against gravity for resistence, increasing incline with backstroke. It works out the arms, back and legs, in that order. While is provides both resistance and cardio workout, it serves as a muscle building device, more than a cardio device. At first, I was limited to about 3 minutes intervals on the machine before I needed a break, similar to my reaction when working out of the weight training machines at the gym, doing sets and repts. That way, the workout is fairly serious, and I could feel the results quickly. It can be manipulated in various ways, isolation certain areas of the body. What I like about it the most is that I can use it to strengthen the whole back and paraspinal muscles, while strengthening the arms and shoulders. It does not do a lot for the legs.

Très facile à monter et peu encombrant.Tient debout et se range facilement dans un débarras.Poignée de transport et roulettes, permettent de le déplacer très facilement !Livré avec un jour d’avance !Pas de bruit lors de son utilisation.C’était un critère important lors de cet achat, car je vis en appartement, et je suis soucieux des bons rapports avec le voisinage.Rien à dire si ce n’est qu’il est infatigable !!!Je recommande vivement !

Finalmente ho ricevuto questo attrezzo che avevo adocchiato da tempo.L’ho preferito ad un vogatore tradizionale, non volendo fare grossi investimenti, perchè piu compatto , di costruzione piu semplice e quindi (probabilmente) meno soggetta a guasti di un vogatore di fascia bassa.E’ arrivato ben imballato e senza danni , con i poggiapiedi , i ‘remi’ ed il piccolo computer da montare, 15 minuti di lavoro ed era pronto all’uso (gli attrezzi necessari e le batterie del computerino sono inclusi). Risulta relativamente ingombrante (misure circa 145x 55x45h) ma c’è la possibilità di spostarlo (ha due rotelline) e di tenerlo verticalmente quando non in uso, quando in uso vi serve un po di spazio ai lati per permettere un movimento ampio di vogata.Tenuto presente che l’ho usato una sola volta,queste le mie impressioni:Il movimento richiede un po di impegno almeno all’inizo per ottenere una soddisfacente coordinazione trazione/rilascio,A livello di resistenza minimo (1) è già abbastanza duro, ma questo è in relazione al vostro peso (il mio è 92 kg) che viene usato come resistenza.Se siete molto pesanti e poco allenati probabilmente sarà dura all’inizio.Per quello che ho visto si lavora molto di braccia e meno di gambe.Anche dorsali credo ma non potrei dirlo adesso.Rispetto ad un vogatore tradizionale il movimento che si riesce a fare è piu breve, e nell’ultima parte del ‘ritorno’ io non riesco ad avvertire resistenza nei ‘remi’ (ho le braccia troppo lunghe forse)E’ silenziosissimo da nuovo, poi si vedrà…) .Il piccolo computer è impreciso anche nel segnare il tempo…, oltre che nel conteggio delle vogate della seduta e totali e alla stima delle calorie.Aggiornerò le mie impressioni quando riuscirò ad usarlo un po..
