Among a range of commonly used fitness equipment, the elliptical and rowing machines are standard fixtures in any modern gym setup. And as such, any discerning fitness enthusiast or even a newbie is likely to have questions about both these machines’ efficacy, which trumps the other. <\/p>

True! Elliptical machines do resemble machines you\u2019ve probably seen in a sci-fi movie, but using the same is easy-peasy. All you do is step on the pedals and replicate walking or running movements while you hold on to the handles, simultaneously moving your arms back and forth in tandem with your lower body.<\/p>

On the other hand, a rowing machine takes some getting used to. One cannot expect to achieve proper technique at the get-go. Experts recommend a single session with a qualified trainer or referencing a reliable workout video to get your workout motions on a rowing machine right.<\/p>

It\u2019s worth noting that falling back on the default back and forth scooting motions that most newbies are susceptible to does not produce the required results. So while comparing elliptical vs rowing machine it’s become clear that ellipticals are easy to use and more beneficial.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The elliptical machine requires that you work out while standing, and as such, the weight of your upper body, borne by your lower body, does have an impact on your extreme ends. <\/p>

On the other hand, you remain seated on your posterior while using a rowing machine, and there’s no impact of your upper body weight on your lower body. As such, it’s fair to say that the rowing machine does not facilitate a weight-bearing workout. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It’s only fair to emphasize the full-body workout facilitated by an elliptical machine when comparing a rowing machine. While you work out on an elliptical machine while remaining standing, a combination of back-and-forth movements of the upper and lower body exerted against the resistance offered by the machine ensures a full-body workout. As a result, the elliptical quite effectively strengthens your glutes, quads, hamstrings, back, chest, biceps, core muscles, and triceps.<\/p>

Conversely, the rowing machine facilitates an upper body workout and a lower body. But there is no weight bearing on the lower body, and as such, this workout has a little weight-bearing impact on your person below the waist.<\/p>

However, the gliding seat, the back-and-forth strokes, and the bending and unbending at the knees proactively engage quadriceps, calves, glutes, hamstrings, obliques, abs pecs, upper back, abs, deltoids, triceps.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you are working out with the goal of weight loss and happen to be proactively counting calories burned while on a rowing or elliptical machine, it is worth looking into the calorie burn count that each machine helps you achieve. While on an elliptical, an hour’s worth of working out can help burn up to 700 calories on average.<\/p>

Conversely, the rowing machine significantly works out the glutes, core, back, and arms, and as a result, you are likely to burn up to 800 calories for every hour of working out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

While any workout is intended to increase fitness levels, awareness of one\u2019s own health status is significant when engaging with workout equipment. Individuals experiencing frequent tightness in the chest region and symptoms of a weak back, including pain and inflammation, are best advised to engage cautiously with an elliptical machine. <\/p>

However, and if, for any medical reasons, you wish to avoid strenuous workouts that can cause significant exertion, an elliptical machine delivers a gentler workout in comparison to a rowing machine. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Both rowing and ellipticals are likely to engage similar muscles in the upper and lower body. However, it is worth noting that the rowing machine facilitates a significantly more effective core strengthening workout.<\/p>

Your core strength ensures that your torso remains straight with every stroke on a rowing machine, and as such, this machine actively engages and enhances your core strength.<\/p>

Conversely, and as mentioned before, the elliptical effectively strengthens your glutes, quads, hamstrings, back, chest, biceps, core muscles, and triceps but does not deliver the same core strengthening workout that a rowing machine does.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Any form of workout comes with potential health benefits. It does help to note the varying health benefits of a rowing machine compared to an elliptical workout. The rowing machine has a significant training impact on the back and arms.<\/p>

This form of exercise can help strengthen the arms and back and is also instrumental in correcting poor posture. Unfortunately, fatigue can lead to a hunched posture for desk workers, which then leads to a weak lower back. A commonly seen sign of this widespread health issue is a curved spine.<\/p>

The rowing machine requires a straight-back posture to train the muscles, correct postural issues, strengthen a weak back and correct a curved spine.<\/p>

While the rowing machine has positive impacts on various muscle groups in the upper and lower body, it does not have the same impact on the skeleton system. So when it comes to elliptical vs rowing machine you might find different thoughts on different forums, but the reality is ellipticals are more useful for skeletons.<\/p>

This is especially true for those with osteoporosis who can benefit significantly more from a weight-bearing workout on a rowing machine, which is also a significantly milder exercise routine.<\/p>

In some cases, rowing machine use can prove adverse for seniors; thus, consulting a doctor before taking up strenuous rowing machine workouts is advised.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you are reading this comparison of rowing vs. elliptical machines with the intention of purchasing one or the other, it does help to understand cost variations between the two.<\/p>

Compared to an elliptical, the mechanical simplicity of a rowing machine often means that the rowing machine is likely to cost significantly lesser.<\/p>

However, it is important to avoid purchasing a low-end rowing machine with poor construction that does not sustain regular use. The same applies to elliptical machines that come at a lower cost but do not deliver the service or longevity you require to get your money\u2019s worth.<\/p>

On average, purchasing a rowing machine is likely to come at a pocket pinch ranging from $600 to $800. On the other hand, an elliptical purchase can set you back by $1000 for a quality product or even more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
