Yesoul R1M PLUS Home Rowing Machine: A Full-Body Fitness Solution Designed for Men's Health and Everyday Life
HONG KONG, June 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Coinciding with Men's Health Month, Yesoul promotes accessible home fitness tailored for today's busy men—from young professionals to active retirees. Prioritizing Men's Health: Why It Matters More Than Ever June is recognized globally as Men's Health Month—a time dedicated to raising awareness about the physical and mental health challenges men face throughout their lives. From young professionals navigating demanding careers to fathers juggling family and work, and older men seeking longevity and vitality, men's wellness is a multifaceted issue that deserves year-round attention. Despite increasing public health campaigns, studies consistently show that men are less likely than women to seek medical advice, maintain regular fitness routines, or engage in preventive care. Factors such as time constraints, work-related stress, and cultural stigmas around masculinity contribute to rising rates of chronic illness, cardiovascular conditions, and mental health struggles. That's why accessible, tech-enhanced home fitness equipment—like the Yesoul R1 M PLUS Rowing Machine—is more essential than ever. Compact, versatile, and designed with real-life convenience in mind, the R1 M PLUS empowers men across all life stages to take control of their health, right from the comfort of their homes. The Yesoul R1 M PLUS: A Modern Rowing Machine Built for Real Life More than just a piece of exercise equipment, the R1 M PLUS is a wellness ally engineered for versatility, comfort, and intelligent fitness. With design elements tailored to support modern lifestyles, this machine helps eliminate common workout barriers, like time, space, and noise. Foldable Design That Fits Any Space One of the R1 M PLUS's standout features is its space-saving foldability. Whether you're in a city apartment, home office, or shared living area, its vertical-folding rail reduces the footprint by over 50%. Paired with smooth transport wheels, it's easy to roll the machine away when not in use—making it ideal for men with limited space or irregular routines. Full-Body, Low-Impact Workouts for All Fitness Levels Rowing is widely considered one of the most efficient full-body workouts, engaging over 80% of major muscle groups—legs, core, back, and arms—while being gentle on the joints. It's an ideal form of exercise for: Busy professionals looking to build stamina and reduce stress Dads fitting in workouts between family responsibilities Middle-aged men maintaining muscle tone and metabolic health Seniors who want a joint-friendly cardiovascular activity Silent Magnetic Resistance with 100 Intensity Levels The R1 M PLUS features a custom magnetic resistance system that delivers whisper-quiet operation with 100 adjustable levels, so users can tailor their workout intensity without disturbing others. Whether you prefer a relaxing endurance row or a sweat-inducing sprint session, this machine adapts to your goals without compromise. Immersive 21.5″ Rotating Screen with Free Mirroring The heart of the R1 M PLUS experience is its 21.5-inch 1080p full HD screen. Designed to rotate 360°, it enables not only rowing sessions but also access to stretching, HIIT, yoga, and strength training classes—all in one place. A major highlight is the R1 M PLUS's Free & Unlimited Screen Mirroring feature. Without requiring any subscription, users can simply connect their devices (note: Android phones require DisplayPort support) and stream content directly onto the 21.5-inch rotating screen—from YouTube workouts to popular fitness apps like, Kinomap, or Zwift. This gives users the freedom to enjoy their favorite platforms, videos, or routines on a larger screen, completely free of charge. While some brands charge over $100 per year for app access, the Yesoul App remains affordable—offering a full library of workouts, real-time data tracking, and training features for less than the cost of a nice dinner out. And even without a subscription, users can still take full advantage of the screen mirroring feature to enhance their fitness experience at no cost. This flexibility empowers men to stay motivated and consistent while tracking workout data like stroke rate, power, distance, resistance, and calories—all from the comfort of home. Mental Fitness Matters, Too Modern masculinity means taking care of both body and mind. Rowing provides a meditative rhythm that promotes stress relief and mental clarity. Combined with scenic virtual routes or relaxing music streamed through the screen, the R1 M PLUS becomes a tool for both physical and emotional balance. Through the Yesoul app, users can enjoy mindfulness-based workouts, expert-led stretches, and calming cooldowns that promote relaxation and speed up recovery. Ergonomically Designed for Comfort, Strength, and Safety The R1 M PLUS features ergonomic handles, adjustable foot straps, and a sturdy yet minimalist frame. It's engineered to accommodate a wide range of body types and rowing styles while minimizing strain and maximizing comfort. Seamless Integration into Daily Life Quick Assembly: Easy-to-follow instructions get you started in minutes Minimalist Aesthetic: A sleek, neutral-toned design blends into modern interiors Flexible Training Modes: Rotate the screen for cross-training, stretching, or floor workouts Who Is It For? This rowing machine isn't just for one type of user. The R1 M PLUS was thoughtfully designed to support all men—across ages, goals, and lifestyles: Young Professionals: Maximize limited time with full-body workouts that boost energy and reduce sedentary stress Fathers: Stay strong, focused, and healthy with fast, effective at-home fitness Middle-Aged Men: Maintain strength, manage weight, and protect cardiovascular health as priorities shift Retirees: Improve balance, mobility, and longevity through safe, joint-friendly exercise Whether you're new to rowing or a seasoned athlete, the R1 M PLUS offers an inclusive path to consistent, long-term wellness. Yesoul's Broader Mission: Redefining Everyone By spotlighting the R1 M PLUS during Men's Health Month, Yesoul underscores its larger commitment to men's well-being. The brand is actively shifting fitness culture away from intimidation and exclusivity toward accessibility, comfort, and relevance. From smart bikes to treadmills to rowing machines, Yesoul is building an ecosystem that empowers men to prioritize self-care, redefine their health journeys, and access premium technology without premium pricing. It's More Than a Machine—It's a Mindset Shift In a world that often asks men to 'tough it out,' Yesoul is encouraging them to slow down, check in, and row forward—one stroke at a time. The R1 M PLUS makes fitness easier to begin, more enjoyable to maintain, and more adaptable to the realities of everyday life. Make Wellness a Year-Round Priority This June and beyond, take the next step toward better health with a tool that meets you where you are. The R1 M PLUS Rowing Machine isn't just equipment—it's a commitment to longevity, strength, and balance.

Green Fertilizer Made with Air and Plasma: NitroCapt (Sweden) wins $2M Food Planet Prize 2025 for developing low-emission fertilizers
STOCKHOLM, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Curt Bergfors Foundation is honored to announce that NitroCapt was awarded the Food Planet Prize, the world's biggest environmental award, on June 13 in Stockholm, Sweden. This recognition highlights their exceptional contributions and potential to disrupt the global nitrogen fertilizer industry. Nitrogen fertilizers are used for 50% of the world's food production and emit as much carbon dioxide as the aviation industry. Sweden-based NitroCapt has developed a novel, energy-efficient process that makes fertilizer through plasma-produced nitrate. NitroCapt's technology could improve access to green fertilizer across the world. In awarding the Prize to NitroCapt, the Food Planet Prize jury Co-Chair Johan Rockström commented: 'Through NitroCapt's innovation, nitrogen fertilizer can now be produced by splitting nitrogen from the air with plasma technology simply needing green electricity as input. This technology reduces the use of energy tenfold, can be produced locally, avoids fossil-fuels entirely, while producing a nitrate fertilizer that can improve soil health and may be used sustainably by farmers across the world.' Gustaf Forsberg, CEO and Founder of NitroCapt, added: 'NitroCapt's mission is to decarbonize the nitrogen fertilizer industry. The current fossil-based process has reached its end point. We can also contribute to increased food production in areas that today have difficulties producing sufficient amounts. We are just about to finalize our industrial-scale pilot, and we have fertilizer in the field, but we're still not at the scale where we want to be. This Prize will be very important for us to bring our technology to the stage where we can start making a difference.' About the Food Planet Prize The Curt Bergfors Food Planet Prize was established in Sweden in 2019, in acknowledgement of the perils that our current food systems pose to the health of people and the planet. The Prize supports initiatives that significantly reduce the environmental impact of the way we eat today. Unlike many awards, the Food Planet Prize recognizes initiatives for their potential future impact on the environment rather than past achievements. The Food Planet Prize's international jury consists of 10 leading specialists in complex Food Planet challenges. The jury is co-chaired by Johan Rockström and Magnus Nilsson.
