Rotate, pull, shoot…
The Rowstick allows you to expand your functional training with several possibilities that primarily target your core but bat-and-ball games can also profit from strength and coordination exercises. The bearing connector loops on both ends can be used to connect elastic resistance bands like the Elastic Tubing or the aeroSling ELITE sling trainer.
Expand your training
The Rowstick (length: 67.5 cm) certainly profits most from the connection with the aeroSling ELITE. Kayak paddling with your own bodyweight is possible as well as simulating stand-up paddling with the aeroSling ELITE as a cable row. Thus, you can use a kettlebell or a blackPack sandbag as counter-weight and adjust your training resistance individually to your fitness level. A special challenge are all sling trainer exercises where the Rowstick is connected with both aeroSling handles on one loop. This turns even ‚easy‘ exercises like a push-up into demanding challenges and your core has to work hard to keep the balance.
Comparing the Rowsticks
The bigger model, the Rowstick X2, is generally suitable for the same exercises of its little brother. Bat-and-ball sports, however, can be simulated better with the Rowstick X2 due to its length of 115 cm. This is closer to most real-life situations in these sports. Apart from the length, though, both models don’t differ in any characteristic. Both Rowsticks are made from aluminum in Germany, the handle area is covered with non-slip plastic. The connector loops are bearing which means they can rotate in the socket and, thus, enable a smoother training.
