The Adjustable Resistance (AR) Tank, developed and patented by First Degree
Fitness, offers a true multi-level experience. Water is moved between the
"storage" and "active" chambers of the AR Tank. Your new Rowing Ergometer
can adapt - at the turn of a dial - to the resistance preferred by each user in the
home environment.
Adjustable Resistance (AR) Tank
Getting Started
To achieve minimum resistance, select "MIN" on the tank adjuster. It takes 10
strokes to fill the central (storage) tank, leaving a minimal amount of water in the
outer (active) tank. This process is always required if minimum resistance is de-
sired. Row hard at a steady pace (20 to 25 strokes per minute [SPM]) and put
some effort into the stroke, ensuring that good form is maintained. You can make
adjustments to the resistance level while you row. Your Rowing Ergometer will
adapt almost instantly to increases in resistance but will take up to 10 strokes to
reduce the effort required, as the central (storage) tank fills up.
Developing Your Routine
Once you have found a level that gives you the exercise required, changes can be
made to SPM and to stroke intensity to further vary your energy input. Interval
Pacific is used by most Rowers, where a period of low intensity is combined with
short intervals of high intensity. Your FDF Rowing Ergometer allows for changes
'on the fly', to achieve multi-level resistance profiles during a single workout. For
