TRAINING TIPS
Rowing machines have been around for many years and where perhaps one of the first indoor exercise machines
on the market.
Almost everyone knows how to row on one of these machines and there is very little one can do wrong.
However, there are few pointers we can give you to reduce strain on your back and other joints and muscles.
Rowing, more than any other aerobic exercise, utilizes the back muscles and the spine to transfer the pulling
force from the arms (holding the handle) to the legs (providing most the pulling power).
To reduce exercise strain on the back muscles, spine, shoulders, arms and wrists we strongly suggest that you to
keep your back straight throughout the entire rowing action. When moving forward to the start position bend at
the hips, don’t overreach (trying to stretch forward too much) and keep your arms straight. Pull the handle to
your stomach, not your chest and keep your elbows in at your sides during the entire stroke with your wrists
straight.

BASIC COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
There are four all-encompassing components of physical fitness and we need to briefly define each and clarify its
role.
