The best gym workouts, then, are the ones that can burn calories and fat while building muscle at the same time. This means resisitance training, preferably at a high intensity, until your muscles start to ache. This is where the good, old-fashioned rowing machine comes in. So next time you’re at the gym, head straight to the rowing machine. When done properly the rowing machine will elevate your heartrate, work your legs, your arms, and your core muscles. Make sure you drive hard with your legs, exploding through the middle of your stroke, then lean back will keeping the wire taut. This will work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes and abs. Finally pull back on the grip. This works your forearms, triceps, lats and pecs. And all the while, you’ll be pushing your heartrate up to its’ maximum fat burning rate!
