Bringing commercial-grade quality to your home or office, the ProRower H20 RX-750 Home series rowing machine is ideal for serious workout enthusiasts. The RX-750 employs an innovative Hydro-Power Drive system that mimics the dynamics of actual rowing, with a polycarbonate water tank and an internal paddle system sitting at your feet. Just like with real rowing, the water acts as the main resistance system. Want a more intense workout? Row faster. Want a slow but steady workout? Row slower. There's no need for any disruptive mechanical adjustments; instead, the water's "natural adaptive resistance" offers all the pushback you need. In addition, the workout is incredibly smooth and relaxing, with an on-the-water experience that feels and sounds just like the real thing.

The RX-750 includes an easy-to-read, oversized display panel that tracks such details as exercise time, distance, 500-meter split time, strokes per minute, calories burned, and heart rate (in conjunction with the built-in heart rate receiver). And users will love the easy-to-adjust, pivoting footrests, with a size that's big enough to fit the entire family. Other details include an ergonomically designed handgrip that ensures a comfortable workout, a maximum weight capacity of 350 pounds, and a folding frame that measures less than 20 by 21 inches when stored upright. The RX-750 measures 78 by 20 by 22 inches (W x H x D) overall, weighs 65 pounds, and carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame, three years on the tank and seals, and two years on all mechanical and non-wearing components.

RX- 750 Home Series: Bringing Commercial Grade Quality to Your Home at an Affordable Price. Using the same dynamics as actual rowing, the user adjusts the intensity of their workout with natural adaptive resistance by either rowing faster or slower, no need for any disruptive mechanical adjustments.

About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.

The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

LifeSpan's R3 recumbent bike, featuring a step-thru design for easy access, is widely recognized for its comfort, quietness, sturdiness and ease-of-use for any size user. Its quality construction and product weight will not only support you, but will also provide added security in your home because it is well-balanced and very difficult to tip over. On the LifeSpan R3 you'll enjoy a quiet ride with smooth transitions between resistance levels.
