HOW TO ROW ON THE ROWER

Sit on the seat, place your feet in the footrests, and 

adjust the straps to fit your feet. Then, hold the row bar 

with an overhand grip. 

Correct rowing form consists of three phases: 

1.   The first phase is the CATCH. Slide the seat 

forward until your knees are almost touching your 

chest. Pull the row bar until your hands are directly 

above your feet. 

2.   The second phase is the DRIVE. Push backward 

with your legs. Lean back slightly at the hips (not 

at the waist), keeping your back straight. As you 

straighten your legs, pull the row bar toward your 

chest. Keep your elbows outward. 

3.   The third phase is the FINISH. Your legs should 

be nearly straight. Continue to pull the row bar until 

your hands are even with your chest. 

After the finish phase, extend your arms forward and 

pull the seat forward using your legs. Repeat this 

sequence, moving through all three phases with a 

smooth, fluid motion. Remember to breathe normally 

as you row; never hold your breath.
