8 Unique Benefits of Using a Rowing Machine with Dual Resistance
After owning the Xebex AirPlus rowing machine for over a year, here’s a list of 8 unique benefits I've found that a combination of magnetic and air resistance offer. I like this unique design because it provides several advantages for beginners and seasoned rowers.
Consistent Resistance
Magnetic resistance gives me a smooth and consistent resistance throughout the rowing stroke. This is a good feature for rowers who want a steady workout without the variability that water rowers offer. If you do like variable resistance then read on…
Variable Resistance
Xebex AirPlus also has a damper where I can control the amount of air that goes into the fan. Combined with the speed of my rowing stroke and the amount of air that goes in through the damper, I can create variable resistance that simulates a more natural rowing motion and gives me the ability to adjust intensity levels based on my effort. Combined with magnetic resistance, I can make my workouts as challenging as I want.
Smooth and Quiet
I've used water rowing machines before and they can be loud because the fan is splashing water around. With the magnetic and air resistance system on the Xebex AirPlus, I get my rowing workouts done early in the morning without disturbing the rest of my family while they sleep.
Customizable Workouts
The combination of magnetic and air resistance gives me the option to customize my workouts. I can set a baseline resistance level with the magnetic system and then increase intensity dynamically through air resistance by rowing harder and changing the damper settings.
Realistic Rowing Experience
When I use the air resistance on the AirPlus, it feels like I'm actually rowing on water.
Suitable For Different Fitness Levels
With dual resistance types, Xebex’s rowing machine caters to a wider range of fitness levels and preferences. Beginners can use the constant resistance of magnets and advanced users can challenge themselves with the dynamic resistance of air.
Bigger Calorie Burn and More Muscle Engagement
As it is, rowing is a full-body workout, but because I have the ability to set the resistance dynamically, I feel my workouts are even more effective. With higher resistance, I engage more muscle groups and burn more calories.
Versatility in Training Programs
The Xebex AirPlus Rower has an advanced console that gives me the option to choose from a variety of training programs. These include interval training, endurance workouts, and heart rate-based programs, providing me plenty of training options.
Conclusion
The Xebex AirPlus rowing machine combines both magnetic and air resistance so I can benefit from both systems. This hybrid approach provides smooth, quiet, and adjustable resistance levels, making it suitable for a variety of users, from beginners to advanced athletes. The result is a versatile and effective fitness tool that can enhance cardiovascular endurance, torch calories, and improve overall fitness.
