Adjustable Resistance (AR) Tank:
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.
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 desired. 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 Row-
ing 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.
GETTING STARTED
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 training
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 more information on
