Compact rowing machine: Domyos Woodrower

When I was talking about rowing machines recently, one aspect came up that I hadn’t described before: What do I do with the rowing machine when I’m not rowing?

Admittedly, I haven’t looked at this aspect in detail because it’s not a pain point for me personally, but I understand the requirement – not everyone has enough space or is looking for a piece of fitness equipment that is easy and ideal to stow away when they’re not working out. This is also the case most of the time.

Decathlon has now developed a new rowing machine that addresses precisely this point: A compact rowing machine that can be used as a fitness bench or additional seat. I took a detailed look at the Woodrower rowing machine, tested it and describe my impressions here.

Rowing machine training plan – How does structured rowing training work?

I wish you a happy new year!

I used the last few days of the previous year to achieve my goal of rowing my first half marathon on the rowing machine and I also took part in the New Year’s Eve run in Schwaibach with one of my best friends. It had been a while since my last run with lots of participants and performance measurement, largely due to the pandemic. All in all, it was a successful end to the year and a great start to the new year for me.

After the run, I had a quick chat with Pippo, who is passionate about road cycling and covers distances that I can only marvel at. 😲 When asked about this, he told me that good time management is important, but that a training plan helps a lot. New year, new luck – this prompted me to look into the subject of a training plan.

My rowing machine experience

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a blog and now that I’ve ordered a Waterrower rowing machine, it’s time to start again.

I want to document my experiences with the rowing machine, how I train with it and what effect it will have. True to the lyrics “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk, it should be an incentive to get the couch potato body in shape. We can’t wait to see to what extent this goal is achieved 🙂
