[0002] In order to make sports and fitness a long-term and effective daily behavior and avoid being affected by factors such as weather conditions as much as possible, most people will use fitness equipment to exercise their bodies, so that people can exercise indoors. For example, a rowing machine is an aerobic exercise equipment that improves comprehensive abilities. Its movement is similar to that of a kayak. When exercising, the resistance of water and the change of the rotating speed of the runner are used within a short time to exercise the muscles of the legs, waist, upper limbs and back. However, the traditional rowing machine is placed flat on the ground during use, has a long length, occupies a large area, and cannot be folded and stored, which is not conducive to movement and storage. To solve this problem, Chinese Patent [Authorized Publication No.: CN211885297U] discloses a new type of rowing machine that can be folded and stored. Among them, it includes a first chassis and a second chassis that are hinged, and the bottom of the second chassis can be folded to fit with the bottom of the first chassis; first stoppers and turning handles are correspondingly arranged on the sides of the first chassis and the second chassis, and the turning handle is hinged to the side of the second chassis. By rotating the turning handle, it is mutually clamped with the first stopper to prevent the unfolded first chassis and second chassis after folding; a screwing member is also threadedly connected to the turning handle, and by rotating the screwing member, the turning handle is driven to move so that the first chassis and the second chassis after folding are mutually locked and fixed. This rowing machine can be folded by setting a hinged first chassis and second chassis. However, since the seat cushion is slidably connected to the top surface of the second chassis, not only the overall thickness after folding is relatively large, but also since its seat cushion, footrest, etc. cannot be folded, the width after folding is also relatively large, and the storage space occupied is still relatively large.
