Review of the Kettler Kadett Outrigger Style Rowing Machine

Most forms of exercise tend to concentrate upon just one or two parts of the body. Rowing, on the other hand, exercises all the main muscle groups and improves stamina. Unlike most other rowing machines, the Kettler Kadett Outrigger Style Rowing Machine has a circular movement which accurately simulates real rowing giving your body a real workout.
The unit has hydraulic cylinders which have the ability to set force resistance on a scale 1 to 12. The pistons are quiet and smooth, so if you are one of those people who have previously dismissed these types of rowing machines in favor of the electromagnetic type, then you might want to think again. The seat is ergonomically designed and the smooth runners make it considerably more comfortable than many of its competitors.
A great feature of the Kettler Kadett is the training computer which provides you with information on time taken, the number of oar strokes, the speed of strokes, distance covered, energy consumption and pulse rate. You can program the computer for a particular distance to cover and stroke speed - and you will receive visual and audio signals when you have reached your goals.
For people looking to improve their fitness there really is no comparison, except of course rowing for real. But then of course you are limited by weather and the availability of a suitable water course. And you can work out in the comfort of your own home while watching TV or DVD if you want to. If you have a friend or loved one who is looking to improve their all round fitness and stamina this season, then the Kettler Kadett Outrigger Style Rowing Machine is the perfect gift.
