Stationary rowing provides a low-impact, high-intensity workout on its own or works well as a complementary exercise for runners, swimmers or other high-intensity fitness routines. Indoor rowing provides a near full-body workout that requires thinking about your technique with each stroke. The exercise can reduce your blood pressure and stress levels, increase your lean body mass and improve your posture. How many calories you burn rowing depends on your speed, weight and gender.
