An Upgraded Water Rowing Experience Unlike the 1445 . the Elite Wave Water Rowing Machine includes an upgraded . high-end fitness monitor and a chest strap heart rate sensor. Programmed to sync seamlessly with the multi-function monitor . the data the sensor provides allows you to tailor your workout. For example . you can target a certain heart rate for weight loss or to increase endurance by adjusting your rowing speed and therefore . your rowing intensity. In addition to pulse . the multi-function monitor also tracks distance . time . calories burned . stroke count and strokes per minute to further motivate you during your rowing session. For further customization . users can also add or remove water using the included siphon to either increase or decrease the resistance. True . Tranquil Rowing Instead of air or hydraulic resistance . the Elite Wave Water Rowing Machine emulates actual rowing with lifelike water resistance. The paddles glide through the water housed in the reservoir . making the rowing stroke smooth from start to finish . and like rowing on a body of water . the resistance increases infinitely the faster you row. Not only does this feel like rowing on water . it sounds like water. Different stroke speeds and intensities vary water motion . resulting in realistic water resonance. Unparalleled Performance In addition to its natural . fluid resistance . the Elite Wave Water Rowing Machine features many performance upgrades that push you to row harder . faster and longer. When mounting the rower . you will immediately notice the ease and customization of the footplates and straps. The footplates . which accommodate a wide range of foot sizes with their adjustable length . feature a heel strap that secures the feet while also allowing the heel to rise higher for a wider range of motion. There are also quick-adjust straps with finger loops so you can quickly secure your feet – even in the middle of the workout. Once you push . extend and bend . the seat glides atop the aluminum rowing beam . providing a smoother workout. Designed with the User in Mind Performance is meaningless if you can’t or don’t want to use the equipment . and that’s why the Wave Water rower was built for comfort and convenience. With a wide . molded seat to accommodate users of all sizes and a padded . textured rowing handle . you can build your strength and endurance in ease. When setting up the rower . the leveling endcaps with a dial ensure stability. After your workout . storing your Wave Water rower is easy – just fold the frame and roll the rower into a closet or corner.
