WaterRower Natural The WaterRower Natural is hand crafted in solid Ash and stained in Honey Oak for consistency of colour. Each machine has been hand finished with Danish Oil, giving a deep lustre and warmth to the wood. Ash has been chosen for its marvellous engineering properties — primary amongst these is its ability to absorb sound and vibration, enhancing the WaterRower's quietness and smoothness of use. Ash, like all woods used in WaterRower construction, is a premium hardwood with incredible longevity and dimensional stability. For reasons of ecology, all woods are harvested from replenishable forests. Naturally Self-Paced Exercise Rowing is an aerobic exercise — like swimming, running, or cycling — where you simply exercise at your desired intensity and your speed is proportional to the work you produce. Increase your intensity and you move faster; the limit is your own physiology. This is the naturally self-paced aspect of rowing. How It Works The WaterRower's patented WaterFlywheel has been designed to emulate the exact dynamics of a boat moving through water. The result is an exercise with uncanny similarity to the real thing: Naturally Self-Paced — anyone can row regardless of age, sex, size, or fitness level Self-Regulating Resistance — the WaterFlywheel alters resistance automatically according to the user's intensity Even Stroke — works all muscle groups evenly and in proportion to their strength Natural Fluid Connection — no jerkiness or jarring like conventional mechanical rowers Good for the Back — strengthens posture and the muscles of the core Patented WaterFlywheel Technology The WaterFlywheel reproduces the natural dynamics of rowing on water. Like swimming, running, and cycling, to increase your intensity you don't increase the resistance — you simply row harder. The faster you go, the higher your intensity. Water resistance follows the cube law: to double your speed requires eight times the effort, delivering a uniquely progressive and natural workout.
