An indoor rower has a frame, a rolling assembly, and a winding assembly. The frame has a beam having a first end and a second end. The rolling assembly is disposed adjacent to the second end of the beam and has a rotatable wheel hub and a cable coiled around the wheel hub. The cable has a first cable end fastened to the wheel hub and a second cable end connected to a handle. The winding assembly has a first pulley set disposed adjacent to the first end of the beam, a second pulley set disposed at the second end of the beam, and an elastic cord coiled around the wheel hub, the first pulley set, and the second pulley set. The elastic cord has a first cord end being stationary and a second cord end being fastened to the wheel hub.

a wheel hub being rotatable;
a cable coiled around the wheel hub and having
a first cable end fastened to the wheel hub; and
a second cable end opposite to the first cable end of the cable;
a handle connected to the second cable end of the cable; and
a winding assembly having
a first pulley set disposed adjacent to the first end of the beam and having at least one pulley;
a second pulley set disposed at the second end of the beam and having at least one pulley; and
an elastic cord with elasticity and coiled around the wheel hub, the at least one pulley of the first pulley set, and the at least one pulley of the second pulley set; and
the elastic cord having
a first cord end being stationary; and
a second cord end opposite the first cord end of the elastic cord and fastened to the wheel hub.
