Summer’s just around the corner, which means naturally we’ll all be spending considerably more time outdoors. But in order for us to do so, and feel comfortable in ourselves, we have to look and feel good. That means now is the perfect time to start getting into shape and we have found a great piece of workout equipment for the home. Step forward – or should that be row forward? – the WaterRower. These sleek rowing machines have been handcrafted in America with the sourced wood coming from the Appalachian region. They come in a variety of colours, designs and models, but the one thing they all have in common is the water. Why water? The water was chosen specifically because not only does it give the rower a natural feel of rowing on water (did you know the density of water is 800 times greater than that of air?) it also helps relieve stress further by providing a fluid rhythm of motion that’s silky smooth. Our favourite models fall under the ‘Natural Series’, as pictured above and below. The wood has been hand finished with Danish oil, which gives the wood a warm coat and luscious looks.
The WaterRower is available from $895 (£699).
