Rowing or biking?

In a recent study scientists discovered that when people exercise on a rowing machine, they burn 40 – 50 percent more fat than when exercising on the stationary bicycle. Yes, sitting on the bike looks easier and you can watch the TV in front of you, but are you doing a lot for your cardio-vascular system and the fat loss? No. Now it is even proven by the science.

And why is that? Well, rowing is an exercise that involves a lot more muscle groups, compared to bicycling. Just picture it – rowing works the whole body while stationary bike works mostly your lower body (quads and hamstrings).
