Rowing is a great fitness activity for all ages and body types. It is one
of the best forms of total body aerobic exercise, with all major muscle
groups called into full use. Interestingly, expert opinion is that only
swimming and cross-country skiing come into the same league.
Rowing is also highly meditative, with the hypnotic repetition of simple
body movements. Devotees of rowing view its cyclic motion as good
for their feeling of "karma", and the steady rotation of water on Fluid
Rower machines helps accentuate this sense of well-being.
WHY FLUID TECHNOLOGY?
It was because our design team knew and understood the unique resistance
properties of water that they believed we could use these at the centre of a
superior new product range for the fitness industry. Our patented Fluid Technology
water resistance system was designed to offer 20 levels of resistance, from
feather light to Olympic sprint, all at the touch of a lever. This system, which
has always been subject to continuous improvement, is at the core of our
original three models. During 2006 we responded to market demands with the
release of our two new compact rowers, which have a modified 16 level resistance
system, using gearing to still give a fully effective range.
WHY ROWING?
With three of our five products being rowers, it has been asked whether we
are just a rowing machine company. Well, we consider that we are first
and foremost a fitness equipment company, but we know and understand
the benefits of rowing as the best total body aerobic exercise available, and
very purposefully chose to make a rower our flagship product. We even employ
a professional rowing coach as an advisor on product development and
applications. Thats how seriously committed we are to ensuring our customers
get the very best out of their First Degree Fitness equipment.
Rowing Technique - It's easy to learn
Good rowing technique is easy to learn, and it is wise to take the time to
do this in order to get the most from your workout without placing undue
stress on muscles and joints.
There are elements of the rowing cycle that a majority of people find
counter-intuitive, and this means that those who have not been correctly
taught tend to row with poor technique. But the good news is that once
this is taught, the brain learns these movements in a matter of a few minutes,
and what was counter-intuitive then becomes the complete reverse.
The goal is to achieve a smooth and repetitive cyclic motion, not one
that is harsh and jerky.
