Do you hate running? Worse even, is your dislike of running keeping you from getting the exercise you need to lose weight? Running and many of the most popular exercises can be just plain boring or painful. For many of us the pain we associate to getting on a treadmill or an exercise bike is enough to prevent us from taking even the first step towards losing weight.

If you are looking for a rowing machine that will help you to build up stamina and keep you fit, look no further than the Stamina rowing machine. This indoor rower is an easy fold out and fold up exercise machine. When not in use it can be folded up and takes up virtually no room. A proper rowing grip is firm but relaxed. A rowing grip that is too tight may cause your hands and forearms to fatigue faster. Your grip can be either underhand or overhand and alternating between the two will decrease arm fatigue.

A quality indoor rowing machine will actually give you the feeling that your are rowing on water. They are quiet enough that you can still watch television without raising the volume much and your spouse can still read in the next room without being disturbed. With rowing, there is no impact, so there is no strain on your joints.

Steady Rowing is an easy-paced workout at around 18 to 24 strokes per minute (known as the rating). This is fine for a comfortable workout if you're a beginner, and can also be used as a warm-up at the lower stroke rate before a vigorous session. Note - this isn't so good for fitness and weight loss.

I think that for exercise to be truly effective it needs to be as natural and effortless as possible. Indoor rowing is one of those types of exercise. The fact that it presents such a low impact exercise with such a big range of motions means that it is perfect for anyone regardless of their fitness level.

Exercising not only makes your body stronger, it also helps reduce stress and can therefore make you more efficient. Exercising rowing workouts clears the mind of any tension. You can also do low impact exercises to relieve stress. A rowing machine is ideal for low impact exercises and these can also strengthen the bones. You can also use exercise not only to boost your health but also to meet new people. Some people prefer to go to the gym while others exercise at home or go jogging.
