WaterRower A1 Rose Rowing Machine | An Overall Impressive Rower

by

Like all WaterRowers, the WaterRower A1 Rose Rowing Machine with an S4 monitor simulates the feel of rowing on actual water! Row to the relaxing quiet, whooshing sound and fluid motion of the WaterRower A1’s water flywheel. The soothing sound of water, combined with each rowing stroke’s smoothness, makes the A1 an impressive rower overall.

The A1’s flywheel sits in an enclosed water tank and effectively offers similar resistance to actual water rowing. However, the amount of water you put in the tank will affect the resistance, and you can self-regulate the resistance by rowing faster/harder to increase the drag for a more intensive workout.

WaterRower A1 is designed with an aluminum monorail with no impact and non-load bearing, making it suitable for all people of all fitness levels. In general, swallowing machines utilize all the major muscle groups to tone and strengthen the entire body and give a good cardio workout.

Exercise all major muscle groups like the arms, legs, back, shoulders, core, etc., and see how great you’re doing with the help of the S4 monitor that comes with the package. To keep you motivated, the WaterRower A1 comes with the S4 monitor that displays motivating workout stats, including time per 2 or 500 km, watts, distance, total time, and calories burned.
