Rowing: Get Fit, Burn Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning Combined
Rowing as a workout is a good way to boost fitness and burn stored fat. Rowing increases the number of calories burned, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled diet program - will cause the body to burn fat - including abdominal fat. In addition, rowing helps to develop the arm muscles, so you improve fitness and get into shape.
Rowing Improves Fat Percentage
About 45 minutes of rowing burns about 450 calories. In one year, this daily exercise routine burns a total of 164,250 calories per year - about 47 pounds of stored body fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percentage - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.
Rowing: Fat-Burning Health Benefits
Because it helps to burn body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like rowing) contributes to improved health in several ways. It helps reduce abdominal fat, associated with serious illness; it assists weight control, thus maintaining normal cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins the happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further increased by a balanced eating-plan.
