Quick Fat Loss and Conditioning Through Rowing Exercise

By Caleb Lee

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 one more of my rowing exercises on the rowing machine at the fitness center and boy did it kick my ass " ONCE MORE! This article will train you all about rowing for exercise, why you have to do it, and the highly effective way to perform rowing to burn fat automatically

What's Rowing?

Rowing is a physical exercise where you get on a machine with a handle affixed to a cable of some type and you put your feet in loops. You later row by pulling the cable backwards towards your chest as you shove with through your heels (resembling squat movement). The seat you sit on moves rearwards in that case you can push yourself away.

Why Do You Need 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 great exercise because it is more upper body dominant, and will give you a break from traditional cardio exercises like running, bicycling, etc.

Its one of the few cardio exercises too that reaches all the main muscle groups, counting quads, biceps, triceps, lats, glutes and abs.

Its awesome for your cardiovascular training, and you can perform interval training on it without difficulty for the reason that you can adjust both the resistance level of the row, and you can adjust your speed with no trouble (like on a bicycle).

In What Way Do You Need To Row For Supreme Fat Loss?

Here's the workout I did yesterday and the one you should try if youre in good shape and want to torch some body fat off quickly. It only takes FIVE to SIX minutes, but I promise you you'll know you had a great workout!

Here's exactly how to perform it:

* Row at a continuous pace for 1-2 minutes to loosen up

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

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

* Go over your work/rest interval 8 more times

* You're finished!

Now's the time to get to your feet, tell your heart its NOT going to break through your chest and if it comes to the crunch, you may need to spew. By round 6, 7 and 8 you're going to REALLY be out of breath and think you cant endure (this is if you're really rowing as intense and quickly as you can during your work intervals)

In spite of this stick it out " you wont be going that fast in your last couple rounds but the important part is Amount of effort in short you are MAKING AN EFFORT to row as quickly and as intense as you can (though you can only handle an average speed).

Whats So Cool About This Training?

This is the famed tabata protocol. Researchers found that guys who used the routine five days a week for six weeks improved their maximum aerobic capacity by 14% PLUS, they also improved 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 Should You Do 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 regularly you can do this routine and still get well once you've done it a few times. So get out there and try it these days! - 17268
