Pilates firms and strengthens the body while keeping it stretched and supple. This means a trimmer waist, a flatter belly and better posture. Overall it means a strong, shaped and healthy body!

The activity of rowing works out a very wide range of muscles, each set of muscles being used for one or more of the actions involved in the exercise. It is almost better to ask which muscles do rowing machines NOT help tone, since every major muscle group is involved in the activity.

Usually the machine itself will have a picture explaining what part the machine works out. But with rowing, it tends to be minor parts of the lower back, but mostly the upper back, around the shoulder blades and some shoulder muscles.

rowing machines or ergometers predominantly work out the legs... this is the same as actually rowing a boat. in rowing the seat moves on a rail called the slide when you pull the oars (handle on the ergometer) you press with your legs.

This includes a person's cardio muscle, back muscle, arm muscle, and many more. In fact, it can work basically all of it, but be cautious of how long is the person doing it for.

The elliptical is the same as a treadmill except it works out your arms and abs as well. The benefit of it over a treadmill is that its much easier on your knees.
