Last Updated: November 8, 2020 By RobertExercising 3 Comments

Circuit Training is the total-body workout to do when you don’t have a lot of time. You don’t need a lot of time to squeeze in a decent sweat session. High-intensity interval (HIIT) workouts that last for as little as 10 minutes are more effective than steady-state exercises that last an hour.

One popular way to incorporate HIIT into your routine is through circuit training. Many trainers love circuit training because it allows you to challenge different muscle groups and mix cardio with strength in a short amount of time.

Please keep reading to learn more about what exactly circuit training is, what it can do for you, and how to design the perfect circuit training workout.

Stamina X Air Rower 35-1412 | Perfect for High-Intensity Training

Last Updated: January 24, 2023 By RobertRowers 8 Comments

The sleek and attractive Stamina X Air Rower is a basic yet durable rowing machine perfect for home gyms. Stamina’s engineers have designed the Stamina X Air Rower just like you: sturdy and durable. The steel frame will hold steady during your most demanding workouts. Simultaneously, the rowing chain keeps the air resistance coming as the fan spins inside the metal housing, automatically adjusting the resistance to your intensity.

Being an air-resistant rower means the rowing machine has ‘variable resistance.’ There is no knob to turn to increase or decrease resistance; instead, the resistance adjusts automatically depending on the speed you row. So, for example, the harder you pull the handle, the more resistance you feel, and to decrease the resistance, row slower.

For instance, the faster you get the flywheel spinning, the more wind resistance you create, the more watts you produce, and the more calories you burn. Due to the Stamina X Air Rower being air resistance, it works exceptionally well for HIIT exercises (high-intensity interval training). You can speed up or slow down during a workout without stopping and adjusting the resistance.

The Stamina X Air Rower has a large LCD multi-function fitness monitor that will help track your progress with real-time feedback. The monitor tracks vital measurements such as Distance, Calories Burned, Speed, Time, Number of Strokes (Count), and Strokes per Minute (SPM).
