Rowing/Stationary Rowing Machine Exercise Shortcut

[Donnaj415]

Considering most of the important cardio equipment is represented in the Exercise list, I think it's more than justifiable to add a stationary rowing machine to the list. Almost every gym in America contains at least one or more Concept 2 rower as it is a total body and low impact method of Cardio. It's one of my favorites and I'm sure I am not the only user that is a bit disappointed that is not represented.

It would be great to be be able to pick 'rowing' from the list of exercises instead of having to enter it in the app. I very rarely remember my stats and having it as an option would be so nice to have.

It would be nice to track kayaking or other outdoor rowing as well as have the water lock come on automatically as it does when selecting swimming.

Rowing machines are becoming increasingly popular these days. How about including a Rowing entry under “Exercise”?

Rowing is such a core exercise and you can find support in Apple, Samsung, and pretty much EVERY OTHER fitness and smart watch out there. How is it possible that a company focused on fitness does not have support for rowing as an exercise? Please add it.

I would like to add rowing to the exercise options as it's not included. I recently purchased a Hydrow and would like to be able to track my exercise

Can rowing machine be added to the exercise shortcuts menu on the Charge 5? It is an exercise I do frequently, and it would be convenient to be able to monitor the activity and auto-record it on the device in real time rather than after the fact on the app. There are many other exercises on the list, but this is excluded for some reason. Thank you.

Was wondering why there is no Rowing exercise in the list of exercises, it's a pretty common equipment across gyms

There aren't enough options under the Exercise Shortcut List. Rowing is not an available option. While there are some other options on the Exercise Shortcut List, it just doesn't encompass all types of workout activities (especially stationary ones).
