Velocity Exercise Magnetic Rower | Excellent Price/Quality

July 7, 2020June 28, 2020 by Robert

The Velocity Exercise Magnetic Rower (CHR-2001) frame is durable, sturdy, and lightweight aluminum. The rowing beam is made of anodized aluminum with rectangular tubing support for added durability. Additionally, the Velocity Magnetic Rower has double-bearings, which significantly reduces the wear of the bearings over time.

The Velocity Magnetic Rower is a magnetic resistance rowing machine that is extremely quiet and offers adjustable resistance. It comes equipped with a Drum Magnetic Control (DMC) system, which is essentially a magnetic braking system.

As you pull the rowing handle, you spin the metal flywheel inside the front housing. Inside the housing is a magnet that can move closer or farther from the metal flywheel. The closer the magnet is to the wheel, the stronger the resistance. The farther the magnet is from the flywheel, the weaker the resistance.

The Velocity Fitness Magnetic Rower comes with a 5-button multi-function fitness monitor. It is at the base of the rower and easy to access while rowing. The fitness monitor keeps track of essential workout data, including Time, Count, Distance (in km), Calories, Strokes per minute, Watts, and Pulse.

WaterRower Oxbridge Rowing Machine – Like Rowing a Boat!

June 24, 2020March 16, 2020 by Robert

The WaterRower Oxbridge Rowing Machine is named after Oxford and Cambridge Universities, two schools that are known for their long rowing traditions and spirited rivalry. Crafted from gorgeous cherry hardwood, it is part of WaterRower’s Designer Series. It features the WaterRower brand’s patented WaterFlywheel. Rowing the Oxbridge, you’ll feel as if you’re rowing a boat!

A wealth of workout feedback is on the S4 Monitor. The S4 Monitor displays intensity in m/s (meters per second), mph (miles per hour), /500m (time per 500 meters), /2km (time per 2 kilometers), watts and Kcalories per hour.

The WaterRower’s S4 Monitor is easy to use, yet it’s packed with useful features and can connect to a PC for integration with other software. It has six preset workouts and lets the rider set up additional exercises based on distance goals, duration goals, and interval training. The monitor saves nine consecutive sessions to let you make comparisons or quickly start a routine.

The Oxbridge indoor rower has a “Zone Feature” alert system to help you stay within your desired heart rate zone. The S4 monitor is telemetrically enabled to work with an HR wireless chest strap (not included). You’ll be able to monitor all of the essential HR values.

Teeter FreeStep Recumbent Cross Trainer – An Excellent Choice!

May 14, 2020June 3, 2019 by Robert

The Teeter FreeStep Recumbent Cross Trainer, unlike regular recumbent bikes, provides a full-body workout. While we usually get bored after 20 minutes of supine exercise, with the FreeStep recumbent by Teeter, you will hardly want to leave the machine.

The Teeter Freestep recumbent machine has a soft and comfortable adjustable seat to accommodate users of all heights. As far as the backrest goes, it’s well-cushioned, full, and it’s 3-position reclining adjustable. So, you can lean back and do a relaxed cardio workout or lean a bit forward and do a more intense home exercise.

The Teeter exercise machine offers a smooth linear stepping pedal motion. And since it’s not circular, it has less impact on the knees compared to recumbent bikes. The pedals are huge and anti-slip with safety edges to keep your feet in place. But what we like the most is the handlebars, they are vertically adjustable to allow all members of the family to do a low impact exercise regardless of their height.

This recumbent cross trainer by Teeter features a silent magnetic resistance that applies to the handlebars and the pedals at the same time. The fact that the resistance refers to the lower and upper body makes this machine much better than expensive similar recumbent bikes that offer resistance to pedal only.
