Here’s the rower… it’s super effective when done properly and it’ll burn a ton of calories.

All of my fatloss clients are familiar with this machine but it’s probably the least used machine in commercial big box gyms. Forget constant paced cardio for 40 minutes plus… do the rower instead and you’ll be winded within ten minutes.

Here’s how it’s done.

1. Start by placing feet on foot plates and grabbing rowing bar.
2. Explode with your legs and pull with your arms to an extended position.
3. Return to the starting position and repeat according to the program. Try to keep your back somewhat straight throughout movement and just use your legs and arms.

Read #2 again up above. That is the key. You’ve got to explode with a strong push of the legs and strong pull of the arms on each rep.
