Fitness Equipment - The problem with most people’s fitness regimens is that they become boring and repetitive too soon. This, in turn, leads many of us to exercise less, or give up our programmes altogether. The key to successful and effective fitness training is to have plenty of variety. Simply using a treadmill a few times per week, doesn’t do much for your upper body. It’s also important to change up your exercise routine to ensure all major muscle groups are being worked. So, look for fitness equipment that will exercise as many muscles as possible. One of the best choices is a rowing machine, which exercises the upper and lower body, as well as the cardiovascular system. Here’s some information about a rower from Kettler: the Coach M.

Fitness Equipment: Key Features of the Kettler Coach M Rower

For about £549.00, you’ll get a piece of fitness equipment that’s at the top of Kettler’s product range for this type of machine. Precision manufactured in Germany, the Coach M features a hefty 6kg flywheel that delivers smooth operation. With 10 levels of magnetic resistance, you’re not likely to outgrow the Coach M rower’s available levels of intensity, even when you’re in top condition. Do be certain, though, to increase the resistance gradually, giving yourself time to acclimate to each new level. Like most machines in its class, the Coach M has a console display with readouts that help keep your workout on track. This display shows time, distance covered, oar strokes, and energy consumption. To maximise the benefits of your workout, it’s important to keep your heart rate in a specific zone. The Coach M is equipped with a Polar receiver, as well as an audible and visual alarm that signals if you’ve reached your maximum allowable pulse rate for the workout. This ensures a workout that’s both safe and beneficial.

Fitness Equipment: More About the Kettler Coach M Rower

Included with the Coach M is a padded board that allows you to perform an additional 18 fitness and strength exercises to complement and enhance your rowing workout. The rower will support a maximum user weight of 130kg, and measures 206 x 53 x 67 (L x W X H in cm). A rowing machine is a good choice in fitness equipment for people who are trying to lose weight because it has great calorie burning potential, more than a treadmill or exercise bicycle. It also offers a superior range of motion over these 2 exercise modalities. Only about 25 minutes of exercise on a rower is equal to about 40 minutes on a stationary bike. There’s no pressure put on the knees and ankles, so a rower is great for people who have problems with these joints. An effective rowing programme will help to develop leg and arm strength as well, without having to work out with cumbersome weights.

A piece of fitness equipment like the Kettler Coach M rowing machine is the perfect place to begin a beneficial and enjoyable fitness programme.
