First time mom and WaterRower Owner
"Working out has always been important to me. While I was pregnant with
my first child, I knew that with an infant, I’d be hard pressed to find
time and energy to find time for fitness. Therefore, I decided to buy my
first piece of home exercise equipment and after some research, I
decided on a WaterRower. The WaterRower turned out to be the perfect
piece of exercise equipment for a stay-at-home mom with an infant! I
don’t have much time to work out, so the fact that I can work both my
upper and lower body, and get in both strengthening and cardio vascular
exercise, are great bonuses. And I can get a good workout in just 20
minutes. Additionally, the only sound that comes out of the WaterRower
is the gentle, calming sound of water swishing. In fact, it sounds just
like the ocean wave sound machine I use to help my son to sleep. So, not
only does the WaterRower not bother my baby, but he actually is soothed
by the sound! One day, when my son was particularly fussy, I set him in
his infant chair next to the WaterRower and rowed; the sound of the
water actually lulled him to sleep! Finally, since the space in my house
is increasingly taken up by baby gear, I appreciate that the WaterRower
folds up so compactly. I’m thankful that the WaterRower has helped me
stay in shape, feel good about myself, and carve out some 'me' time
while still being attentive to by baby."
