Rowing is a type of exercise that has been gaining popularity over the years. Using a rowing machine for a workout can give you an effective low-impact full-body workout.

After just a month of adding rowing to my workout, I have experienced so many positive changes to my body. I am way less stressed, I am sleeping better, and I feel (and look) so much stronger.

My arms & legs used to be SO darn incredibly sore after all of my ice hockey games, but not anymore! BONUS! Not only are my arms and back are stronger, but I can see my abs starting to come in!

5 Reasons to Add Rowing to Your Workout Routine

Since you are sitting down while rowing, there is no weight bearing down on your lower body, unlike running.

1. Low Impact Workout

2. Full Body Workout

This workout is great for both your upper body and lower body. You are using your arms, legs, and core. Bonus! It burns calories quickly!

3. Aerobic Exercise

Rowing uses many of your major muscle groups throughout your strokes which increases your heart rate. This, in turn, makes rowing a great cardio workout.

4. Say Bye to Stress

Probably one of my ultimate favorite benefits of rowing is that is severely decreasing my stress levels!
