Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Rowing on a machine at moderate intensity is a full-body exercise that works 86% of the muscles in your body. Each stroke engages the legs, core, back, and arms in a powerful sequence. Rowing builds both cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength simultaneously, making it one of the most efficient exercises available.
