3.3 Rowing motion.

Start the rowing movement by bending your legs, this 

will roll the seat forward. Keep your torso straight, arms 

out front and hands at knee height.

Then stretch your legs, which will move you backwards 

on the rolling seat. Your arms remain stretched and your 

torso straight.

 

When your legs are stretched you lean back a bit (no 

more than 20º compared to your legs) and pull the handle 

to your midriff. At the same time you make your chest as 

wide as possible, pull your shoulders back and point 

your elbows out slightly.

Keep your legs straight and bring your arms forward with 

your body still straight. Then bend your legs and move 

forward, until you are back in the original position.

Before you begin place your feet in the footholds and tighten the bands over your feet. 

Then take hold of the handle with both hands.

This rowing motion exercises muscle groups in your abdomen, arms, legs, shoulders and 

back.
