•
The lower setting requires you to be a little faster in applying your power which, in the end, gives you a better workout.
•
Aim for a stroke rate / SPM of between 24 ~ 30 spm.
•
Allow a little extra time for warm-up, and start very easily.
•
Don’t expect to be abler to do a hard interval workout right away.
•
It is important to give your body a rest every so often, even though rowing makes you feel great and you want to do it
every day. We recommend taking at least one day off per week from rowing and it will make you more eager and have
a better workout next day.
•
Rowing is an extremely effective form of exercise. It strengthens the heart, improves circulation, as well as exercising all
the major muscle groups - back, waist, arms, shoulders, hips & legs.
•
Rowing is also impact-free and non-weight-bearing, which makes it that much more appropriate and valuable as a tool
for rehabilitation and recovery, and for people of all ages.
•
The pictures below show the proper body position in use during each stroke.
NOTE:
Have someone watch you to help you match your body positions as the pictures shown above.
•
These positions should be blended together to make a smooth and continuous stroke with no stopping at any
•
points in the stroke.
Your handle grip should be loose and comfortable and your wrist should be level during the rowing.
•
Please ensure that fingers are not placed inside of the runner assembly when moving the product.
•
When adjusting your exercise position and you need to steady yourself by holding onto the rower, ensure that it
•
is the underside of the seat upholstery that you are grasping.
START
•
Extend your arms straight toward the
flywheel.
• Lean your upper body slightly forward
with back straight but not stiff.
• Slide forward on the seat until your
shins are vertical (or as close to this as
your flexibility will allow).
•
Begin the drive by pushing off the
footplates with your legs.
• Keep your arms straight and once your
legs are straight, lean back slightly.
• Complete the move by pulling the
handle towards your torso, just below
the chest.
•
Pull the handle all the way into your
abdomen.
• Straighten your legs.
• Lean your upper body back slightly.
PULLING
