Add the SmartRow Intelligent Power Meter to enhance your rowing experience, set goals and track your progress! Like all woods, Cherrywood may vary in color from a red-brown to deep red. The wood will darken in colour with exposure to light. For this reason all WaterRower Cherrywood components are kept in light free rooms to protect from shadowing. A new WaterRower Oxbridge will therefore appear quite light in color. The wood will however darken over time reaching a rich reddish hue. Each machine has been hand finished with Danish Oil giving a deep lustre an warmth to the wood. Wood has been chosen due to its marvellous engineering properties, primary amongst these is its ability to absorb sound and vibration enhancing the WaterRower\'s quietness and smoothness of use. Ash, like all woods used in WaterRower construction, is a premium hardwood with incredible longevity and dimensional stability. For reasons of ecology, all WaterRowers woods are harvested from replenishable forests Rowing has long been recognised as the most complete aerobic exercise: Works 84% of the muscle mass- more than any other exercise, rowing recruits all major muscle groups Maximises gain, minimise time - derive maximum benefit from an all body workout and burn more calories in less time Kind to the body - no impact or load on the joints, suitable for all, young or old, male or female, big or small, fit or unfit Relaxing to the mind - smooth and rhythmical, a joy to use Combines Aerobic and Resistance - unique combination of aerobic and anaerobic benefits.
