MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your ROWING MACHINE you will need to have the resistance set quite
high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you
would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness, you need to alter your training programme.
You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the
exercise phase you should increase resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to reduce
your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the
more calories you will burn. This is effectively the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference being the goal.
