This type of resistance system is self-regulating and therefore eliminates the need for a motor. As a result, there are no moving parts that could wear out over time like other machines. Resistance is unlimited, as in the drag increases with the faster you paddle or decreases if you paddle slower, just as it would with real rowing.
Summary
The WaterRower Oxbridge is amazingly smooth and fluid in operation, unlike other types of rowing machines which can have a jerky kind of feel. Rowing is in fact a low impact form of exercise, meaning that it is kinder to your body and joints than many other forms of exercising. Rowing is a good aerobic and cardio form of exercising and gives a good total body workout, toning and strengthening all the major muscles in the arms, shoulders, legs, buttocks and abdomen.
