Does a rowing machine helps to improve your stamina and makes you loose weight?
Its good for stamina (strength) and as an aerobics machine. Just be consistent. Increase the levels to get the stamina benefits.
Reply:Yes, it's great cardiovascular exercise, and burns a lot fo calories.
Reply:only if you use it
Reply:no.............................but useing it will
Reply:stamina, possibly. loose weight and work the abs, definitely.





That is if you use it. Buying the machine and letting it collect dust won't do anything for your stamina or body.





on a scale of 1 - 10 it's about an 8. Thing is you need to get out and walk too. That and not forgetting to drink about 8 glasses of water a day (water is a natural appetite suppressant).
Reply:I agree with the other answers in that it will help you increase stamina if you use it regularly, but it will only help you lose weight if you eat sensibly - it's no use thinking yea I have a rowing machine so i can pig out now!!!
Reply:Only if you use it. Standing and looking at it will have minimum effect. Build your usage up over a number of months. Remember repetitions (reps) are more important than the weight you pull. Start off with low resistance and build time first up to about 30 minutes. Don't go at it until you are out of breath, have a controlled approach. It is excellent exercise, almost as good as swimming. Overdoing it will cause back problems so take it steady. Play the long game. Done properly you will improve your stamina, strengthen your arm and leg muscles and have a six pack to be proud of. Eventually.
Reply:Yes, but you can also build up to very high levels of stamina without a rowing machine.





If you are unused to regular exercise start by walking the first two miles to work/school each day. Then build up to the point where you are walking all the way there and back again each day.





It's free and as effective as any rowing machine.
Reply:Anything that you do on a daily basis will tone you up and help you lose weight. It is whatever machine that you like and will do daily. A minimum of 30 minutes per day is needed in order to burn extra calories and cause a weight loss. Start slowly and build up your time and the tension on the machine as you get stronger.
