Features that measure comfort of a rowing machine

When you exercise it is important you are comfortable. An uncomfortable workout can be demotivating and can also lead to injuries. In case you work out using a rowing machine, below in this article I have covered few features that measure comfort of a rowing machine.

Length and angle of the seat and rail

The rail and seat of the rowing machine are very important parts as far as comfort is concerned. A good rail length ensures that even the tallest of people can stretch themselves completely during a stroke. The angle of the rail determines whether the seat to foot plate position is actually right or not. The size of the seat should also be good and it should be padded nicely so that you are comfortable even during high intensity workouts.

Placement of the foot plate

The placement of the foot plate and its spacing differs with each rowing machine. Few rowing machines come with a spinning foot plate which moves as the person moves whereas some rowing machines come with a mounted plate that you can modify using a heel clip. Both these foot plates function nicely and in this case it is more about a person’s choice. Choose the one you are more comfortable using.
