Exercising Information
EXERCISING WITH YOUR AIR ROWER
It is possible to use your Air Rower in two different ways, to increase
cardiovascular fitness and create lower body / upper body leg and
arm strength.
AEROBIC WORKOUT
It is not possible to manually increase or decrease the rowing
resistance for aerobic workouts on your Air Rower in order
to build cardiovascular fitness. However, the Rowing-Arm strength
increases proportionately with the rowing speed and effort. e.g. the
harder or quicker you row, the more resistance, or drag is created by
the Air Fan. With all aerobic exercise, you should exercise at a
constant, reasonable pace when warmed up. (See the section about
Warm-Up and Target Heart Rate Training elsewhere in this booklet).
The aerobic benefit of the exercise will increase as the rowing rate
increases and your cardio-vascular fitness will benefit as a result. The
muscles in the legs, thighs, arms and lower back will also be
strengthened by the rowing action.
STRENGTH WORKOUT(Pull hard-slower pace)
As with the Aerobic Workout, it is not possible to directly increase the
rowing resistance for a full strength workout on your Air Rower in
order to build muscle strength. However, if you increase your
Rowing-Arm strength in order to generate more drag on the air
fan, the exercise resistance will increase, allowing the muscles in the
legs, thighs, arms and lower back to be strengthened by the rowing
action. Your cardio-vascular fitness will, with time, also benefit.
EXERCISE MONITOR FUNCTIONS
(Pull hard-faster pace)
With your Air Rower the 3 screen, 6 function Exercise Monitor is set
to start automatically when you begin to row. However, it is possible
to switch on the monitor by pressing the Page Change Button at
the bottom of the monitor. To save battery consumption, the
monitor will also switch off after it has been idle for approximately
four minutes.
Please refer to the leaflet supplied with the Exercise Monitor for all
operational functions.
