If you want to lose weight and burn fat fast while increasing your anaerobic, aerobics and overall endurance but you’re sick and tired of running all the time then you’re going to love this article about rowing.

Yesterday I did another one of my rowing training on the rowing machine at the gym and boy did it kick my ass ” FOR A SECOND TIME! This article will inform you all about rowing for exercise, why you must do it, and the most efficient way to execute rowing exercises to lose fat in no time

What Is 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 Have To Row?

When most people think of cardio training they only think of running. Running is breathtaking and all that, but then again, I get tired of it after a short while. I definitely cant stand long slow steady state cardio at any rate, and any time I run I do perform sprint interval training.

But rowing is an awesome workout because it is more upper body dominant, and will give you a rest from usual cardio exercises like running, bicycling, and the like.

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 exercises I did yesterday and the one you must check out if you’re in good shape and want to burn down some body fat off in no time. It only takes FIVE to SIX minutes, but I guarantee you you’ll know you had a fantastic workout!

Here’s how to execute it:

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

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

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

* Repeat your work/rest interval 8 more times

* You’re through!

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)

But keep it up ” you wont be going that fast in your last couple rounds but the important part is Intensity of effort meaning you are TRYING to row as fast and as hard as you can (even if you can only manage a medium 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%.

Besides, scientists became aware that the people in the wake of the tabata protocol burned 9 TIMES MORE FAT than a group that worked out for an hour a day (carrying out steady-state aerobics). Plus your metabolism remains revved up and burns more fat until 48 hours after the Tabata protocol.

When Should You Do This Workout?

Try it on your rest days. You can alternate a cardio workout of sprints and a cardio workout like this with rowing to keep your body from adapting and for variety in your cardio routines. If you’re following the DoubleYourGains 3-5 program you’ll have 2-3 rest days per week. You could do this rowing routine on one rest day and a different cardio routine on the other to keep it fresh or just do this routine on both days, its your choice.

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!
