Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine Review

The Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine is without a doubt one of the most durable and compact rowing machines on the market today. It’s built for the occasional home exerciser and the athlete alike.

The Model E sits up higher than the Model D which is about 20” high – about the height of a typical chair. This is perfect for people with mobility or balance issues and safer for a senior to use.

The PM4 performance which comes standard on the Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine includes a rechargeable battery and a chest belt so the heart can be monitored comfortably during routines.

Rowing provides a total-body workout that can help you get your arms, legs, abs, chest and back in shape while offering a good cardio workout.
