Want to Burn Fat and Build Muscle Without Even Standing Up? Meet the Rowing Machine

Want to get strong? Want to burn fat? How about doing both from the comfort of your butt? Yes! You can! Building muscle and burning fat at the same time almost seems too good to be true, but it’s a reality. You can row, row, row yourself right into your dream physique on one simple machine — the rowing machine.

Sarah Chadwell, NASM-CPT, told POPSUGAR, “Spending just 30-60 minutes of ‘seat time’ on the ‘ole ergometer, aka rowing machine, will work virtually all the muscles in your upper and lower body and increase your cardiovascular conditioning. That’s not all! You’re also going to rapidly burn calories, which equals fat loss!”
