I'm always looking for new and interesting ways to exercise, because I tend to get bored with exercise very easily. Rowbike is an innovative new bike that has been created by Rollerblade founder and inventor Scott Olson that is giving fitness enthusiasts across the country a unique way to spice up their workout and get outdoors – giving riders twice the workout in half the time.

For most American’s, rowing is often something that’s done in a health club or a basement on a stationary rowing machine. With Rowbike, fitness enthusiasts can enjoy the benefits of two of the leading low-impact, high intensity cardiovascular workouts that effect a wide range of muscle groups. Seen as an ideal cross training tool, it provides an unmatched upper body workout.

While it may look like a bike, Rowbike is no ordinary bike; its motion comes not from pedaling but from rowing. Rowbike works the upper body, core and lower body all while providing a great cardio workout. And because of the fully adjustable 7-speeds, Rowbike is extremely versatile and can take on significant hills. One of the reasons Rowbike has been recognized as one of the best overall fitness machines is because benefits include muscle strengthening, stretching, improved posture and an amazing calorie burn.
My Take
What a new and exciting concept! Bicycling is a great workout, but it only works the lower half of your body. With Rowbike, you get a full-body workout with low impact. This is great for people with knee injuries who have trouble with bicycles. It's also better than indoor bikes because you're rowing against wind resistance. It targets your abs and back muscles, so you do two times the workout in half the time! You can lose weight and burn fat quicker while cross training your body. Not only does it have amazing health benefits, but it's also gentle on your body and easy to use.
