There are several rowing machines that include other functions that allow you to work different muscle groups, and get a good overall workout, on the same machine. Rowing and Abdominal Combination Machines work as rowing machines and are designed so you can do chest and abdominal workouts as well. Rowing machines with the ab workout feature vary in design, but they usually have handles that slide up the track that the seat is on.
These combination rowing machines are great options if you want a rowing machine but need to build even more upper body strength through an abdominal workout. These combination machines are also great for people who do not want to deal with extra exercise machines or just do not have the space in their home for more machines. Rowing and abdominal machines usually have magnetic resistance and are great for people who just want to get in shape but are not seriously training for rowing.
There are not a great variety of rowing and abdominal combination machines available, but if you want one there are several home fitness vendors, in retail stores and on several websites, that sell different combination models. The abdominal combination models usually cost anywhere from 0 to 00, so if you are on a budget they may not be the best option for you. Of course, if you are on a budget you could find a used ab combination model in classifieds and online, which could save you a lot of money. If you do buy a used model you should make sure the seller is reliable and credible.
