Would these work well for indoor rowing?

yes, for the only thing don't work really good is with pull ups, but I haven't found something that works for pull ups

I think these will work. They are light with a flexible and relatively thin sole. Tai chi is my intended use, but I've only had a chance to use them briefly for that since I bought them.

Noooooo! You will be relying on styrofoam for support. there is a significant load when rowing. My boat has thick aluminum supports and these inserts go in those supports to keep metal from metal contact.

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

Not really. They are of poor quality , light weigh. You would be well advised to go to something different.

Yes, they should provide plenty of power indoors. Even outdoors, they can provide decent power. Adding a subwoofer is recommended. However, I find my Behringer to be a bit muddy, if you haven't bought them yet, JBLs are better.

I'm sure you could use them for that, but they'really padded for lifting weights. Usually when I'm not lifting I take them off just to get air to my hands but they are very comfortable for most any workouts. Just keep in mind all of the padding technology is meant for weight lifting.

you could use them for a home gym/cardio. They're pretty thick/soft. They look like something that would be in a kids room, so as long as you're ok with that.

If you just tilt your head you will probably be OK. If your like me at the gym, and you do a lot of quick movements, they won't stay on. I don't wear mine at the gym just for that reason. They do have a high quality sound though.

I haven't ever used a rower. I use the rowing on the Blaze as a warm-up/down. For that purpose at least I am satisfied

Judging from the ones I have, they do look pretty sturdy and I don't think you would have a problem. Plus I think a lot of the moves would work well from your knees, so it wouldn't be your whole body's weight on them. The only concern is that this equipment can put a lot of stress on your shoulders with your weight, so you will have to be careful and not go too deep, definitely do everything from your knees until you build up strength on these motions :)

I have not tried to use it during a workout. Based on the pressure that it exerts on my head, it probably is ok for rowing or a stationary bike, but anything requiring much head movement might be trouble.

They would look good, however they are sort of large. They are larger than the average Indoor chair. The material is sort of wear resistant so while they would look pretty, the feel of them is definitely for outdoor, very durable.

I can't answer your question, my rower is on a tile floor. I would like to recommend an excellent book about rowing that I found."Row Daily, Breath deeper, Live better, a guide to moderate exercise by D.P.Ordway........ HAPPY ROWING.

I have not used them while working out. My preference would be for something sweatproof - not only waterproof but something that can handle salts and oils which can be corrosive. The weight and bulk is probably a matter of comfort. For normal weight-lifting, I doubt there would be much of an issue. For rowing, it may depend on your cadence. I think the weight of the Zik would cause a problem with momentum changes in the back and forth motion.

I adore my machine. I bought a book on proper posture and form, which was helpful. The book stated that moderate rowing is a 3. I am pretty fit and find myself very comfortable at 4.5 for 5000 meters. I am 46. If I do intervals then usually a 4. If I power row, all in, a 5. Posture and breathing are key. Each person is different, though. My 38 year old husband find a 4.5 pretty challenging for 60 minutes.

I think they would work. They are a little squishy, but they would probably be OK unless you're looking for something that's very firm.
