🦉Why Rowing is the best exercise

Learn how to do it correctly

You are busy, but what if you could be fit, lean, and strong with a 7-minute workout?

Enter rowing… 🚣

Rowing is the best exercise because it hits almost all of your posterior chain (the back side of your body), which is what you need for stronger, better posture and to build strength for compound lifts like deadlifts or picking up and carrying heavy stuff in life. It is low-impact, easy on the joints, and can be scaled up or down in intensity.

Rowing builds strength, especially in your legs, while working on your breathing and cardio. Rowing improves your grip strength and strengthens your spinal erectors (tiny muscles that support your spinal discs).

Rowing hits all core, functional muscles of the body

Hugh Jackman, based on Tim Ferriss's recommendation, swears by the rower and used rowing workouts to prepare his physique for big movies like Wolverine and Australia.

Rowing is all around the best exercise in comparison to other options like running

Rowing builds strength and endurance simultaneously, all while keeping your neck relaxed. Rowing teaches you to relax. All the top athletes know when to relax during the movement to maintain elite-level performance without burning out or risking injury.

Watch how Rowing has a push phase and a relaxed upright stance (relaxation phase).
