Made from a powder coated tubular steel frame, the WaterRower M1 LoRise represents the ultimate in toughness and durablility - ideal for those looking to train intensively. Like all machines in the range, it uses paddles to connect to a moving mass of water, simulating the exercise of rowing on a lake or river. The WaterRower has been designed as a natural rowing simulator and is unrivalled in replicating not only the superb physiological dynamics of rowing, but much of the aesthetic pleasure as well, giving the calming feel of a boat gliding down the river. The WaterRower's patented WaterFlywheel utilizes the same physical elements (water) and the same physical dynamics (fluid drag) as occur when a boat moves through water. Partial self assembly required. Rowing is a seated aerobic pursuit suitable for all users. It removes all the body weight from the ankles, knees and hips, moving the limbs and joints through a full range of motion, from completely extended to completely contracted. Beneficial for the back and strong posture, it recruits the muscles of the torso in equal proportions to the other major muscle groups of the legs and arms.
