That's about
These numbers are for an adult of about 70 kg. Weigh more and you burn more, weigh less and it's a bit less.
Half an hour is about 255 kcal and an hour is 515. That's a steady pace where you can still talk, just about.
The rower works your legs, back and arms in one go, which is why it feels harder than the bike next to it. Most of the power should come from your legs, not from yanking with your arms.
Tips
- 1Start with 10 minutes and add a few each week, rather than going all out once.
- 2Push with your legs first, then lean back, then pull. Your back will be grateful.
- 3Pick the rower when the treadmills are full. It's usually free.
