Whether you don a festive hat for watching the Henley or are just glued to the screen when they race on the Charles River, sounds like you love rowing. And why not? Rowing is a serious full-body workout and exhilarating recreational activity. Rowing also utilizes up to 86 percent of your muscles, promoting endurance, strengthening, and toning.

This high-quality rowing machine can accommodate workout takers up to 500 pounds. And those pieces have casters, so you can just roll it away. The seat is 14-inches high, and the footrests can move, and the handles are comfortable and ergonomically designed. There is a little assembly required, but all the tools and instructions are included. We like how this machine both remembers and shares your achievements in real-time.
Comfy seat

This rowing machine folds up to about 40 inches by 22 inches, great for fitting in a closet.
