If you desire to go on a diet and burn fat automatically while boosting your anaerobic, aerobics and total stamina… and yet you’re sick to death of running right from the start in that case you’re going to enjoy this article about rowing.

Yesterday I did another one of my rowing workouts on the rowing machine at the gym and boy did it kick my ass ” AGAIN! This article will teach you all about rowing for exercise, why you should do it, and the most effective way to do rowing exercises to burn fat fast

What’s Rowing?

Rowing is an exercise where you get on a machine with a handle attached to a cable of some type and you place your feet in stirrups. You then row by pulling the cable backwards towards your chest as you push with through your heels (similar to a squat movement). The seat you sit on moves backwards so you can push yourself away.

Why Do You Have To Row?

When most people think of cardio training they only think of running. Running is great and all, but I get sick of it after a short while. I absolutely cant stand long slow steady state cardio anyways, and any time I run I do sprint interval training.

But rowing is a fantastic workout since it is more upper body dominant, and will give you a time out from conventional cardio workouts such as running, bicycling, and all that.

Its also one of the few cardio exercises that hits all the major muscle groups, including quads, biceps, triceps, lats, glutes and abdominal muscles.

Its great for your cardiovascular conditioning, and you can easily do interval training on it because you can adjust both the resistance level of the row, and you can vary your speed easily (like on a bicycle).

How Should You Row For Maximum Fat Loss?

Here’s the exercises I did yesterday and the one you must check out if you’re in good shape and want to burn down some body fat off in no time. It only takes FIVE to SIX minutes, but I guarantee you you’ll know you had a fantastic workout!

Here’s exactly how to perform it:

* Row at a steady pace for 1-2 minutes to warm up

* Work Interval: At the minute mark Row as hard and fast as you can for 20 seconds

* Rest Interval: Row at your warm up time for 10 seconds

* Go over your work/rest interval 8 more times

* You’re done!

Now’s the time to be on your feet, tell your heart its NOT going to break through your chest and if push comes to shove, you may want to throw up. By round 6, 7 and 8 you’re going to REALLY be short of breath and think you cant continue (this is if you’re really rowing as powerful and promptly as you can during your work intervals)

But keep it up ” you wont be going that fast in your last couple rounds but the important part is Intensity of effort meaning you are TRYING to row as fast and as hard as you can (even if you can only manage a medium speed).

Whats So Cool About This Training?

This is the well-known tabata procedure. Researchers discovered that people who took pleasure in the routine five days a week for six weeks developed their full aerobic capacity by 14% GOOD THING, they also increased anaerobic capacity by 28%.

In addition, scientists observed the people behind the tabata protocol burned 9 TIMES MORE FAT than a group that trained for an hour a day (performing steady-state aerobics). And your metabolism stays revved up and burns more fat up until 48 hours after the Tabata protocol.

When Do You Have To Execute This Workout?

Give it a go on your rest days. You can substitute a cardio workout of sprints and a cardio workout in this manner with rowing to keep your body from adapting and for variety in your cardio routines. If youre going along with the DoubleYourGains 3-5 program you’ll have 2-3 rest days for every week. You could do this rowing routine on one rest day and a different cardio routine on the other to keep it new or just do this routine on both days, its your preference.

You’ll get a better feel for how frequently you can do this routine and still restore your health once you’ve done it a few times. So get out there and try it now!
