Interactive training with iFIT on Nordictrack RW 900
Interactive rowing experience? Using the extensive iFIT library, you have the chance to virtually row in a variety of waters on Earth. Exercising with a large display in front of you, where you can see different locations, you can forget that you are still training at home.
Training with a trainer. All thanks to the possibility of connecting the equipment with the interactive iFIT platform. With NordicTrack rowing machines, you can benefit from thousands of video workouts led by experienced fitness instructors from all over the world. If you are learning the basics, they will take care of your technique, if you are seasoned in battle, they will give you a good workout!
Effective motivation. The trainer not only ensures that the training is carried out correctly. He constantly encourages you not to give up and to give it your all during the exercises. Many of us have the biggest problem with motivating ourselves to systematically increase activity. When exercising on RW 900 with iFIT, you don't have to worry about that.
Ready-made training programs. You turn on the device, connect to iFIT and start the library. What will you find in it? Everything! Exercises for beginners, intermediate and advanced, single activities and training series... It is not without reason that we mentioned that everyone can exercise on the NordicTrack home rower!
Google Maps workouts. If you get bored of rowing on rivers and lakes, you can always "paddle" to your favorite places or places you've always wanted to visit. iFIT works with Google Maps. This allows you to create your own route, which you can view on the screen during your workout (in map view or as changing Google Street View photos). Are you going on a trip and want to get to know the area before you arrive? Or haven't visited your family home for a long time? Well... you always have iFIT.
Rowing and more. With access to iFIT (access to the full version of iFIT Premium requires a paid, active membership), you will benefit from the various types of training offered by the platform - also exercising outside the purchased equipment (yoga, meditation, strength training, etc.). As part of the equipment, in addition to outdoor exercises, you can also use training in the studio - in the form of video and live classes.
Comfort and functionality. Let's not forget about the basics, thanks to which the training can be done correctly and safely, and without which all the additional advantages lose their significance. The Nordictrack rower is not only entertainment or motivation. It is also comfort and safety of use. It has wide footrests and a comfortable and profiled seat that ensures stability. You can adjust the height of the display to your height using the knob on the back of the monitor, and after finishing the exercises you can fold it and store it in smaller spaces.
How to train on a rower
Training on a rowing ergometer is very simple. During the activity, you reproduce the movements that you would make when actually rowing on the water - you fasten your feet on the platforms, and you grab the rowing bar in your hands. Your feet remain immobile, which gives you stability during the movement of the oars:
- At the beginning we start with the movement of the legs – you push off by moving away from your feet.
- When your knees reach the level of your hands holding the bar, you start the next movement – you bend your back and pull your hands and the bar to your chest.
- When returning to the initial position, first straighten your arms with the bar, when they return to the knee level, bring your body to your feet.
A sequence performed in this way on a home rower will allow you to use the potential of your training most effectively.
The first training on the rower is the time that you should devote to mastering the correct exercise technique. When it becomes second nature to you, you can confidently start effective and efficient exercises with rowing machines at home.
