Congratulations on becoming a WaterRower owner.
Rowing is universally recognized as the perfect aerobic exercise − smooth,
low impact, rhythmic and whole-body − unrivalled for its physiological
benefits and aesthetic pleasures.
“Rowing, indoors or outdoors, at any exercise level of intensity,
requires a greater exercise expenditure than any other aerobic
activity. Calories are burned in relation to the number of muscles
used and the intensity and duration of the exercise. Rowing with a
sliding seat uses a very large muscle mass since the upper, lower
and trunk muscles are used vigorously.”
-Dr. C Everett Koop- Former US Surgeon General
While most rowing machines imitate the action of rowing, they do so
mechanically, and therefore lack the natural dynamics experienced when a
boat and crew glide down a river.
At WaterRower, we have focused on replicating the physical dynamics of
rowing, with the knowledge that this will achieve all of its physiological
benefits, as well as much of the aesthetic pleasure.
To maximize the enjoyment from using your WaterRower we recommend
that you follow our suggestions on rowing technique and training
programs. We hope that some of the discussion points in this manual will
improve your knowledge about exercise in general, so that you are better
able to fulfill your specific exercise objectives.
Your WaterRower has been carefully hand-crafted to give you years of
trouble-free use. We recommend that you closely follow the assembly
details provided, particularly by assembling the machine in the correct
sequence, and adhering to the suggested maintenance schedule.
We hope you enjoy using your WaterRower for many years to come.
