At the same time, it also has a significant effect on exercising the back muscles. It allows the spine to have a greater range of motion in the forward and backward extension of the body, so that the various joints of the spine can be exercised. This not only improves muscle elasticity, but also enhances its toughness. When practicing rowing machine, you must pay attention to the continuity of the movement. There must be no pauses during each stepping action, and it must be in place. If your amplitude is too small, the muscles involved in the exercise will not be fully stretched or contracted.
