When looking for a rowing machine for sale, take a look at the concept 2 rower.
There are many different rowers for sale on the market today. However the latest versions of the Concept 2 Rowing Machine or erg rower are the Model "D" rower and the Model "E" rower from Concept 2. Both are currently available to buy on the market today in 2011 and are the best indoor rowing machines on the market.
The difference between the two is minimal, with the model "E" being around 0 more than the model "D", so there are obviously some extras on the model "E" rowing machine.
The model "E" has been redesigned this year and stands considerably taller than the model "D". This has obviously come from testers who prefer the more off the ground feel. It must have some other benefits as well.
The Model "E" Concept ii Rower is obviously easier to get on and off being as it now sits so high up. This will help those like me who suffer with ligament problems, as the more I have to bend my knees the harder it is for me to get up.
I think you are paying for a more technical computer option on the model "E". It obviously has a very modern monitor with an internal battery that is rechargeable, compared to the old concept 2 where you had to take the battery out and change it yourself for one from the watch shop.
I believe you can upgrade on the model "D" if you would like too.
The concept rowing machine has been around now for many years and is widely known as being the No 1 rowing machine on the market. You pay a premium for it, which is not much higher than the average rowing machine, but you get "Rolls Royce" quality when you buy it.
The idea behind the concept ii rower is a braking system designed with air resistance. It is cleverly designed so that the rowing stroke from the rower affects the level of resistance that the machine offers. Even though the rower machine offers different levels of resistance in the form of a sliding lever on the side, you would rarely need to use this once you have set it up.
The concept 2 rower is an ideal stamina rower. It will allow you to do whatever speed you wish to achieve your aim. If you feel you are out of breath it will allow you to slow down accordingly which will allow you to get your breath back, and at the same time it will monitor and show you the effort that you are now putting into it.
Rowing machine benefits are enormous if you want to gain a natural physic that looks good at the gym or on the beach. Because it uses all of the bodies' muscles you are actually having a full body workout and testing every muscle to its max.
A rowing machine workout is a superb way of keeping in good shape. Do 2000 meters as your warm up routine in under 8 minutes when you enter the gym, and you have already stretched all the necessary muscles of the body to start your routine.
Not only that, you will have burned around 100 calories in achieving this. An air rowing machine is a superb way of getting rid of a few hundred calories whilst listening to some of your favorite music.
The latest exercise rowing machines come with games on them, so you can battle at a game trying to get good results, and in doing so it helps the time to tick by and the calories to burn, reducing the fat content at the same time.
A good row in the current day is 2000 meters. Do this in under 8 minutes and you are able to consider going online and beginning the online challenge where you are trying to get into the world rankings. It is a lot easier than you think.
With technology as it now is the concept 2 rower is capable of logging you on and watching you row. You can now go online and log into your account. Put in the distance you want to row and when you have finished it will record you in the rankings for that distance.
There are quite a few recognized concept 2 rower challenges now online and you can enter any that you are eligible for. This is just one of the great incentives for getting one of the latest versions of the rower machine.
If you are looking for discount rowing machine then take a look at either Amazon.Com or Amazon.Co.Uk. You will be able to buy one 2nd hand if you cannot afford a new one. Amazon often hasrowing machines for sale at a discount well below their original price.
Alternatively you can go and bid for one on eBay. I am not a big eBay fan when it comes to bidding. You can pay more than you like, and sometimes the product is not exactly what you wanted.
Rowing machine benefits far outweigh a lot of other indoor machines like elliptical trainers. Elliptical machines are mainly leg machines designed for a cardiovascular workout. They are great machines, but they mainly work the legs, heart and lungs.
The rower machine works the whole body. Legs, arms, back, triceps, biceps, calf's, bum, heart and lungs. It is a full on body workout and as such if used regular will give you a good "V" type shape to boot.
Concept 2 has come a long way over time. You can now connect machines together so that teams can row in harmony. You can buy a set of slides so that you can row as if actually on water. Great if you are looking to build a team of world class rowers inside a building when you don't have enough water around. It will at least ensure that the team's fitness is not far off by the time they actually hit the water running

Best Rower
In my opinion there is no better rowing machine than a Concept 2 Rower
Wood Rower
The wood rower is as expensive as a concept 2 rower and is an alternative. Very well built but nowhere near as popular.
Refurbished Rower Machine
Take a look at Amazon.Com or Amazon.Co.Uk for a refurb machine.

I would say a minimum of 2000 meters daily. If possible try and cover 5000 meters or 20 minutes at an average pace of 2 minutes per 500 meters.
