Muscle Toning
To tone muscle while on your Rowing Machine you will need to have the
resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on your leg muscles & may
mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to
improve your fitness, you need to alter your training program. You should train
as normal during the warm up & cool down phases, but towards the end of the
exercise phase you should increase resistance making your legs work harder.
You will have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
Weight Loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder &
longer you work, the more calories you will burn. This is effectively the same as
if you were training to improve your fitness, the difference being the goal.
