Fitness Equipment Evaluation: The Beny Sports V-fit AR1 Artemis II Air Rowing Machine
Exercise which you can take pleasure in is always the best type. Is there anything more dull that stepping on a boring treadmill, and walking ceaselessly for what seems to be forever. Anyway, exercise on treadmills are primarily for the lower section of the body; thus, you have to come up with a different way of exercising the upper part of your body. This is a scenario that takes up a lot of your time. The solution? Find a machine that will give you a full body workout. One piece of fitness equipment that can give this workout is the rowing machine. Read on to learn about an affordable machine: the Beny Sports V-fit AR1 Artemis II air rower.
Overall Rating:
4.5 out of 5 stars
Main Characteristics:
Styled after health club rowers that can cost hundreds more, this piece of fitness equipment is designed with a fully enclosed air resistance system. Even though it benefits the entire body, a rowing machine such as the V-fit AR1 focuses its attention on the arms, shoulders, and also back. Implementing a rowing machine additionally supplies cardio advantages. Since it has a powerful aluminium rowing rail, this piece of equipment folds away simply for storing purposes. The machine’s padded seat is sizeable, comfortable and attached to a long-lasting, smooth roller apparatus. Operating via a gym-style chain rowing action, this machine extends flowing motion but the resistance isn't flexible. Its balanced 7kg flywheel is manufactured from cast iron. It also has modifiable foot straps.
Selling Price:
Approximately £250.00
Item Specifics:
Dissimilar to a lot of rowing machines and fitness equipment in its classification, the AR1 has got the SGS-GS TUV mark-a well recognised and largely appreciated objective and voluntary certification (of products) from Germany. Products so marked are tested and certified to comply with a stringent German product safety act, the terms of which are accepted throughout the EU. The AR1 will support a maximum user weight of 115kg, and weighs 19.5kg when fully assembled. Its exterior coating is a beautiful chip resistant white epoxy powder coat. Designed with wheels for transporting situated on the front frame end caps, this equipment can be moved and positioned simply. It also has sit-flat rear frame support caps. The rowing action is single/sculling. There is a row arm which is a 25mm bar and high density foam padded type grips.
Technical Specifications:
The oblong tube shaped steel main frame constituents have proportions of 80mm by 40mm by 50mm by25mm. The oblong shaped rowing rail has proportions of 115 mm by 50mm. The measurement of the assembled rowing machine is 44cm by 74mm by 212cm. The AR1 is designed for home use by Beny Sports, a company that holds over 10 design patents, and whose whole product range conforms to stringent European safety standards. Beny Sport’s advanced line of products are sold in numerous Western Europe countries, South America, and also the United States. The AR1 is available in specialty stores, department stores, hypermarkets, and mail order catalogues.
Final Thoughts
When seeking fitness equipment like an entry level air rower, the Beny Sports line merits a serious look. It offers an optimal combination of affordability and functionality for those budget-minded users who are just embarking on a fitness programme.
Must a foam roller be high density in order to reap massage benefits?
I see foam roller sets available but most do not say they are high density foam. Is that really necessary in order to get good results?
Although often referred to as high- or low-density, DENSITY (i.e. weight/volume) is a misnomer; FIRMNESS is actually the property that you're interested in.
The softer "low-density" foam rollers provide much benefit and are great for beginners, who's muscles are typically more sensitive to physical pressure. Low-density foam rollers also have one advantage over high-density foam rollers -- they conform better to certain body parts. A drawback is that low-density foam rollers are almost always made from polyethylene foam (a.k.a. ethafoam), which breaks down relatively quickly under pressure. In fact, you may need to replace a low-density foam roller every few months if you use it daily.
The firmer "high-density" foam rollers press harder on the muscle and do a better job of breaking up adhesions (a.k.a. knots or trigger points). They're also made from better grades of foam. While they cost more initially, they last much longer, so they're a better investment for athletes and other frequent users.
For the most effective massage, firmer is better, but only to a point. The firmer the roller, the less flexible its surface. Consequently, extremely firm rollers, such as those made from bare PVC pipe, put too much force on high spots and too little force on low spots. They're OK for rolling larger muscle bellies, but aren't flexible enough to conform to other areas of the body, such as near bones and and muscle attachments, where adhesions tend to accumulate.
My recommendation is to start with a low-density foam roller, and use it regularly (about as often as you exercise). Within a few weeks, the quality of your muscle tissue will improve and the rolling will become less painful. At that point, you're ready for a firmer roller. You might also consider using a RumbleRoller, a new type of foam roller that more closely approximates deep-tissue massage.
