The WaterRower
has been conceived to excel in many aspects;
Most Comfortable- preferred over conventional mechanical rowers
Most Rewarding- natural rhythm makes time pass faster
Most Complete Exercise- works 84% of the the muscle mass
Impact Free- preferred by women and children
Kind to Joints- preferred by older users
No user knowledge necessary- unique self-regulating resistance requires no
setting
Self Regulating Resistance
The WaterRower's patented Water Flywheel features naturally self regulating
resistance. Rowing and naturally performed aerobic exercise (such as
swimming, running, cycling, etc) are not resistance based exercises.
Rowing and naturally performed aerobic exercise relate to the work done to
move you (and your equipment) through your medium. Whether it be a boat or
swimmer through water or a runner or cyclist through the air.The only
resistance which is present is due to the effect of drag acting on you and
your equipment. And importantly, this drag is proportional to the speed at
which you move through your medium.
For example, as you row, the work that you do overcomes the effect of drag
acting on the boat, allowing the boat to move at a certain speed. As you
increase work the amount of drag you can overcome increases and the boat
moves faster. Remember, the boat does not apply resistance to you, you apply
work to the boat and it moves at a speed which is equal to the amount of
drag you overcome.
The limit to how fast you can row is you, your ability to produce work and
overcome drag. And this will differ from individual to individual; young or
old, big or small, male or female, fit or unfit.This is the self regulating
resistance nature of the WaterRower and naturally performed aerobic
exercise.
