A magnetic rower slows the flywheel with a magnetic field instead of a rubbing pad, and you pick the level that suits the session. Sunny describes the rows as smooth and silent, with virtually no maintenance.
What muscles does a rowing machine work? The pivoting foot pedals load your quads on each push, and the pull works your back and arms. Sunny calls it a low-impact, full-body workout. If you are still comparing styles, browse more rowing machines.
