Sunny SF-RW5866 Water Rowing Machine | Challenges Your Endurance

by

Challenge your muscular and cardiovascular endurance with the Sunny SF-RW5866 Water Rowing Machine. Enjoy maximum stability when you strap your feet onto the adjustable foot pads. Position the leveling endcaps before using the water rower to keep the water row machine stable across home surfaces.

The aluminum build of the 48″ slide rail ensures a sturdy and quiet experience during your workout. The rail, which folds upright to save space when stored, has a maximum user weight capacity of up to 265 lbs (120 kg)—tilt and roll out of the way for storage, no need for heavy lifting or muscle strain. In addition, the wheels at the front of the rower allow the user to move it around with ease.

Pull the belt-drive and elastic rope mechanism with each stroke on the SF-RW5866 to push four blades through the water tank. Four blades move more water than the standard two, creating more progressive resistance per stroke. Gain even more control over the water rowing resistance by adjusting the water tank level.

Check the battery-powered fitness console to track your time, distance, stroke count, and calories burned during each workout session. After your workout, you can fold the aluminum slide rail upright to save space. Then, use the front-facing transportation wheels to move the machine across several home surfaces.

WaterRower Natural Rowing Machine | Smooth, Natural, and Quiet

by

The WaterRower Natural Rowing Machine with S4 Monitor is one of the most aesthetically pleasing rowers on the market. It is also one of the best-performing ones! It is part of the “Natural” series of WaterRowers, due to its solid Ash Wood and stained Honey Oak construction material.

It uses a “water flywheel” or paddles suspended in a water tank to provide the rower’s resistance. Therefore, this is called ‘variable’ resistance because there are no “adjustments” to feel more resistance, row faster, and feel less resistance, row slower.

In addition to determining resistance based on your rowing intensity, you can further adjust the rowing experience by adding or subtracting water from the water tank. The more water you add, the “heavier” the rowing will feel (like rowing a boat with passengers). The less water you have, the “lighter” the rowing will feel (like rowing by yourself).

The WaterRower Natural Rowing Machine provides one of the best resistance any water rowing machine offers. Therefore, it is difficult to find any complaints about WaterRower resistance. It is smooth, durable, and relatively quiet. Plus, it closely mimics the resistance felt while rowing on the water!

Sunny ASUNA 7700 Treadmill | High Performance Cardio Trainer

by

The Sunny ASUNA 7700 Treadmill from Sunny Health & Fitness is the best manual treadmill for running and more intense workouts. HIIT and Tabata enthusiasts love it. At 167 lbs., with transport wheels and a soft-drop system, this unit is portable and compact—with a fold-up length of 27.5 inches. Surprisingly, it has a very high user weight capacity of 440 lbs.

The ASUNA 7700 has two heavy-duty magnetic flywheels at the front that give a smooth ride with eight different resistance levels—you can control the resistance by a gear shift that is easy to reach the user’s right side. Also, the incline is adjustable in 1-degree gradients from 10 to 14 degrees.

Even as it has no fitness console, it does have a rubber gripping surface to hold an iPad/tablet—many users might prefer this. Furthermore, the handrails— made of sweat-resistant, grip-able material—are extensive to allow eight different holding positions.

With the ASUNA 7700, you can walk/run forward, backward, and sideways—you can even do a series of squats on it. In addition, you can do sled-push/drive movements. You can also do climbing exercises—with the hands-on floor, pushing with legs, or hands walking on the treadmill, with feet on the floor.

ProForm Elliptical/Recumbent Hybrid Trainer | Offers Impressive Versatility

by

The ProForm Elliptical/Recumbent Hybrid Trainer is one of my top picks for the best budget-priced elliptical/recumbent bike on the market. This trainer offers impressive versatility as it can be transformed from a recumbent bike into an elliptical trainer with a few simple adjustments. Thus, allowing users to perform cross-training on a single machine.

You can use it as either a recumbent bike or as an elliptical. It only takes two quick adjustments – in the pedals and the console – to change it from a recumbent bike into an elliptical – or vice versa. And unlike some other 2-in-1 elliptical bikes, it’s not hard (or back-breaking) to make these adjustments. You can do it in less than 30 seconds.

The console on this trainer is relatively basic and straightforward, but you get the essential feedback of speed, time, distance, calories burned, pulse, and RPM. In addition, the machine comes with built-in Bluetooth/iFit compatibility. From there, you can monitor and track your workout progress over time to see how far you’ve come. You can also download new workouts and even run world-famous bike trails.

The seat is adjustable forward and back with extra padding to ensure a comfortable recumbent bike ride. The back is a mesh back – which lets the airflow keep you fresh as you cycle. The bike also has oversized pedals with built-in traction that you can adjust to fit your frame – again, for a more comfortable ride or run.

WaterRower Oxbridge Rowing Machine | Like Rowing a Real Boat

by

The WaterRower Oxbridge Rowing Machine gets its name from Oxford and Cambridge Universities, two schools are known for their long rowing traditions and spirited rivalry. Crafted from gorgeous cherry hardwood, it is part of WaterRower’s Designer Series. In addition, it features the WaterRower brand’s patented WaterFlywheel. Rowing the Oxbridge, you’ll feel like 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 fitness 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. In addition, 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. In addition, the S4 monitor is Bluetooth enabled to work with an HR wireless chest strap. Unfortunately, this accessory does not come with the machine. However, if you have one, you’ll be able to monitor all of the essential HR values.
