Concept2
Concept2 got
its start in 1976 in the back of a bread truck when Dick
and Pete Dreissigacker, fresh from Olympic training,
started making composite racing oars, now the oar of choice
among the world's rowers. They went on to create the
Concept2 Indoor Rower, now used worldwide by Olympic
athletes, cardiac rehab patients and every caliber of rower
in between who have discovered that rowing is the best
low-impact, full-body workout available!
Rowing
works many muscle groups through wide a range of motion.
Knees, hips, arms and shoulders will each see 90 - 130
degrees of rotation in every stroke. It’s this full-body
muscle involvement that makes rowing a great calorie burner
and helps users develop flexibility and strength. Rowing is
impact-free, and the intensity is completely
user-controlled. It offers superb cardiovascular exercise
that is suitable for all ages.
Both
the new Model E or the updated Model D Indoor Rowers come
with extensive web-based programming and support for
fitness facilities. And Concept2 brings customers the
latest trends in fitness: technology-based workouts that
include everything from audio downloads to virtual rowing,
and group rowing, instructor training and certification
options.
