There are many of you out there who may be contemplating buying yourself a treadmill or one of many different rowing machines. Well a treadmill is a good place to start if you go running often and seeing as the frosty days and nights are going to be setting in very soon it’s a wise idea to purchase something you can use to keep yourself fit throughout the winter.

There are many different kinds of treadmill and rowing machine that you can buy and obviously some are much better value for money than others. Take rowing machines for example, there are many different kinds of rowing machines out there that you could look at getting such as the Concept 2 Rowing Machine. Widely renowned as the best rowing machine in the world, you can be certain you have a top quality product.

Other rowing machines are just as good, there’s the H20 Fitness Rowing Machine. The H20 is a little expensive, but it depends on where you get the machine from. You could maybe join a gym so that you don’t need to pay for your own rowing machine. This is what Olympic Silver Medallist Matt Langridge did.

Joining a gym and beating a little interactive man on a rowing machine at an ‘Olympic’ level is what inspired Matt to join his local rowing club and the rest, as they say is history.

Many of us out there spend our summers doing nothing in particular, maybe go out round town with your mates a couple of nights, or maybe go out for a few slap up meals but nothing special. Other than the norm, going on holiday somewhere warm, or what we’ve just mentioned then we generally don’t tend to anything much exciting in the summer.

Well this summer was certainly a little different for Scottish adventurer, Jock Wishart. Jock guided a 6 man team, in a rowing boat all the way to the North Pole. Yes, not exactly the normal way to spend your summer, but it’s definitely worth it when you consider that he and his team both got in the record books.

Undoubtedly, they would have done some training on rowing machines before they set off on their long journey. Not only are they good for just generally getting fit and healthy, you can tone yourself and keep up a good level of stamina. Whilst we’re on the subject of stamina, they may very well have had a Stamina Rowing Machine, or if it turns out that they didn’t then there’s a million and one other kinds of rowing machines that could have been used, but a favourite amongst gym owners and gym users is the Concept 2 Rowing Machine.

If you’re planning anything that is similar to this expedition then you may want to look into getting yourself a rowing machine. They can help you get fit, and help you become an extremely healthy person.

As the title says, a rowing machine can help people in more ways than one. There’s the obvious ways that they can help people, fitness wise. For example if you buy yourself a rowing machine then you will definitely reap the benefits.

Then there’s the way that it can help people like one has helped 9 year old Bel Young from Ilkley. She fell from a climbing frame, breaking her neck which stopped her from being able to use her arms and legs and needing a ventilator to breathe.

A local physiotherapist has helped to raise more than £10,000 for Bel’s charity, the “Being Bel Trust”. He was using a Concept 2 Rowing Machine often dubbed as “The World’s Best Rowing Machine”, and it definitely helped the physiotherapist complete his 50 half marathon’s in 60 days or million miles on a rowing machine, in 60 days.

There are many other great rowing machines out there that can be used in events such as this one, or perhaps you would just like to buy one for yourself to use at home. One of the better ones to buy for your own personal use would be a Kettler Rowing Machine. The Kettler Rowing Machine has a folding facility which makes for easy storage and helps save room when you’re not using it.

Blackpool boxing champion Brian Rose and “Dancing On Ice” star Daniel Whiston are taking part in a charity rowing event.

The local celebrities have pledged to cover a staggering one million metres on a rowing machine in just two months to raise as much money as possible for a two-year-old little boy who has a critical heart condition.

Yuto Rise, from Cleveleys, has restrictive cardiomyopathy which puts him at risk of heart failure; so the celeb duo aims to row as much as they can at the FX Leisure gym in Poulton in support.

Rose, who is an English light-middleweight champion, told The Blackpool Gazette: “I’m more than willing to take part in anything that helps the community. When it’s a local lad it’s closer to your heart.

“I think it makes people stand up and notice. More people will get involved because we are doing our bit.”

Yuto needs a heart and lung transplant but his father Daz has said: “We are just praying that Yuto is one of those cases where they only give you six months to live, but 20 years down the line you are still alive.”

TV ice skater Whiston added: “What an amazing cause to bring this money to the table for Yuto and his family to make his life a little bit better.

“We all want to help him as much as we can and it’s an absolute honour that I can do something with my celebrity status.”

The family are hoping to raise £20,000 from the rowing event in order to find the construction of two ground-level rooms for Yuto. So far, they have raised a massive £8,500.

Whether the pair train on a H20 Fitness Rowing Machine, or a Lifecore Fitness Rowing Machine; fingers crossed the family reach their target goal due to the local stars getting involved!

Over the weekend the England Men’s rowing team took part in yet another race, and for the first time in a long time they didn’t win the race, they only managed a third place finish.

They were edged out of a first place finish by the Kiwi’s and it’s not the first time they’ve been beaten into second by the boys from New Zealand. It is in fact the 14^th consecutive time that they have been beaten by them.

However on a brighter, more cheerful note the women’s rowing team won gold in the same weekend! So as you may imagine it’s captured the rowers of the country’s heart and there’s been a bit of an uptake in the sale of rowing machines after this!

There’s been a lot going on in the world of rowing recently as Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans has been learning how to row as a part of his radio show’s ‘Sporting Challenge’! As mentioned earlier there’s been an uptake in the sale if rowing machines in the UK and there’s no doubt that Chris Evan’s involvement with rowing recently will have played a part.

There’s been a fair amount about rowing recently and there’s some good value deals about on the internet with a lot of people deciding to purchase themselves a new rowing machine. From a stamina rowing machine all the way to the likes of the concept 2 rowing machine people have been snapping them up!

This could just be a sign of things to come because if Team GB have a good showing at the Olympics next year in London then there could be many more rowing machines sold up and down the country!

A group of British explorers have made history by rowing 450 miles to the North Pole in the world’s first voyage.

Jock Wishart, who is in his late 50s and his team Rob Sleep, 38, David Mans, 28, Billy Gammon, 37 and Mark Delstanche, 35, have become the very first people to row to the magnetic north pole in what has been described as one of the “greatest” ocean journeys to present.

The men rowed across the Atlantic and circumnavigated the globe in a powerboat to highlight effects of climate change and demonstrate the problem of people pumping too much CO2 into the atmosphere.

Mr Wishart said they were all ‘exhilarated’ after completing their 450-mile voyage through the Arctic waters.

The rowers reportedly encountered polar bears and collided with icebergs on their specially designed vessel, and Mr Wishart even had a seal attack him during the one month journey.

One thing is for sure, all of the men would have endured some seriously hard training on indoor rowing machines beforehand to make sure they were fit enough for the duration of exercise.

The successful rowing trip, which was dubbed the “Old Pulteney Row To The Pole” and was described as the “greatest ocean rows of all time”, included scientific research being compiled to help provide fresh environmental data on the impact of arctic deterioration on the polar landscape.

Adventurer Mr Wishart commented on the celebratory exploration, saying: “We are all exhilarated and relieved that weather conditions were in our favour and we have completed our row to the magnetic north pole while it was still possible.

“It is an enormous achievement, and a privilege for our team to have been part of what is one of the world’s last great firsts.”

“It was just up and down as we tried to pull the boat onwards because the crew were extremely talented to complete this out as we did not want to miss out on anything. Everything had gone very much like clockwork.”

The voyage was documented by the BBC by 28 year-old Mark Beaumont, titled Rowing The Arctic. Mr Wishart has previously been to the geomagnetic north pole, when he was part of the first team to walk unsupported there in 1992.

The rowers slept in shifts and were fuelled by 7,000 calories per day dry rations.

Train for professional activities like this on a first degree fitness rowing machine or a lifecore fitness rowing machine.

The London 2012 Olympics would have been going for almost a month this next year, so it is no surprise to hear that all rowing competitors will be training hard in anticipation of the games.

The Rowing competition at the London 2012 Games will feature extraordinary displays of power and passion on the world-class waters at Eton Dorney and many athletes will be training on indoor rowing machines for up to nine hours a day in preparation.

Although its history dates back centuries, rowing only came of age as a competitive sport in the last 200 years and interest began to increase after Oxford and Cambridge Universities began their rivalry on the Thames in 1829.

Today’s sport is renowned for its competitors’ legendary displays of strength and stamina, as athletes push themselves through the pain barrier in an attempt to win Olympic gold.
