About Rowing
Rowing provides an efficient, effective,
low-impact workout that utilizes all the major muscle groups, including the
back, legs, arms, abdominals and buttocks. It is also one of the best exercises
for building a strong back, as well as one of the most effective low-impact
aerobic exercises for increasing your metabolism. As a result, you can
efficiently burn calories and fat without impacting your joints.
The continuous, non-impact movement of rowing can be broken down into three
phases: the starting point is called the catch phase, followed by the drive
phase, the finish, and the recovery. In the catch phase, knees are bent with
shins vertical and shoulders and arms reaching forward. This phase mimics the
point where the oars are being placed in the water. The drive phase is initiated
by the legs. As the legs extend, your arms remain straight until the knees are
mostly extended. Then the elbows flex bringing the oar handles into the upper
stomach. In the finish, the legs are fully extended, your shoulders are back,
your elbows are flexed, and the oar handle is against the upper stomach. For the
recovery, your knees don't flex until after your hands pass over your knees and
your arms and shoulders reach forward to begin the catch phase again.

Because rowing is an impact-free activity, it can be a lifelong form of exercise. It is always best to exercise in your target heart rate zone (70 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate).
Product DescriptionIt took me about two hours to assemble the rower; although the enclosed instruc
The Stamina 1205 is whisper-quiet, has adjustable tension, and a comfortable seat. The only thing that irritated me was that I found the foot pedals to be rough on my heels; when wearing shoes, however, this problem disappears. I couldn't be happier with my choice: the price was right, assembly easy (if a bit time-consuming), and the workout is fantastic. Because Amazon offers free shipping on many items, this was the absolute best choice for the price. The Stamina 1205 is sturdy, yet not too heavy for me to move by myself. It does not collapse, but if space isn't an issue for you, I say go for it. Highly recommended for anyone who, like me, is seeking a full-body workout that allows one to escape putting pressure on the ankles or knees. Glad I chose the Stamina 1205!!
P.S. I find the seat and range of motion very comfortable; I am 5'8''. I would imagine that most people between 5'-6' in height would find it comfortable as well.

Overall, I am satisifed with my purchase, although I agree with some of the other complaints. The monitoring device on my rower quit within the first couple of months. I didn't bother to contact the manufacturer because it wasn't important to me. Also, from time to time, the left shock will temporarily fail. I found that with the right combination of jiggling it back and forth and from side to side it kicks in again. I did temporarily have some loud squeaking a while back but a little WD-40 took care of. The foam grips got small cracks in them a while ago but I have been still been able to use them and just now need to completely replace them. My seat and rollers work just fine.Sole F65 Treadmill, Kettler Lotus R Indoor, Proform Power 995, Whole Body Vibration, Livestrong LS Pro2 , NetMax High Stepper, Bowflex TC5000, Octane Fitness Q35c, Precor EFX 5.33 , HCI Fitness Sprint , Fitnex R40-S , Body Champ BRM3681, Nustep TRS 4000, Precor Premium 9.31 , Captiva - Elliptical, HCI Fitness PhysioCycle XT, Horizon Fitness T203, V350 Spinner, Sole F80, Proteus PAR-5500, Bicycle Generator Kit, V2300 Elliptical Bike, First Degree Fitness, Monark Exercise AB , Proform 590e , Star Trac NXT Spin Bike, LifeSpan TR 800, Rowing Machines , Merit Fitness 715E, Bicycle Generator , Kettler Unix P 7652-000, Fitness Master X , Diamondback Fitness 510Ub, Bladez Fitness Master, AFG 7.1 AT , DKN Technology Xg3, True Fitness M30, Precor 9.33 , Pacemaster Gold Elite, Bowflex TC3000, Sole E35, Diamondback Fitness 510Ic, FreeMotion Treadmill t7.5, CYBEX 425A Arc, Horizon Fitness Treadmill , SportsArt Fitness T621, Schwinn IC Pro
Bottom line. This rower is a great starter rower. It's not up to par with the high end machines in the gym, but it also costs only a fraction. Now that I know that I will use a rower regularly, once this one wears out I'll probably upgrade on my next purchase. But, this one has served me well and I don't regret my decision to buy this at all.
So when I saw this Precision Rower I assumed it would be similar to the one we had bought 25 years back. Assumed?? Hmmm!

I assembled it and learned from this process that it was cheaply made. One of the bolts used to assemble the frame broke upon tightening. The row arms attach at the frame base had plastic sleeves instead of bearings. The seat movement was anything but smooth and the resistance was not equal. Starting resistance points were at different points along the row stroke.
My 25 year old rower is now back in its rightful spot. We are now looking for new grips (taped several times)and are considering pulling the seat apart to put on some padding. Lesson learned. If you are considering this product -- DON'T! It truly is cheaply constructed.
