A good training schedule starts with a good warming up and ends with a cooling down of 

the muscles. This will prevent painful muscles and injury. Below you will find some 

suitable exercises.

Head Roll

Tilt your head to the right. Hold this for one second, so that you feel a little pull in the 

muscles on the left side of your neck. Do the same for the other side, front and back. 

Repeat two or three times.

Toe Touch

Slowly bend forward with your back and arms relaxed. Bend as far as you can and hold 

the position for ten seconds. Repeat this two or three times.

Shoulder Lift

Lift your right shoulder and turn it clockwise two times. Then turn it counter clockwise 

two more times. Relax and do the same exercise with your left shoulder. Repeat this three 

or four times.

Calf Stretch

Place two hands against a wall. Place one foot about thirty centimeters behind its original 

position and put your foot flat on the floor. Bend your forward leg and lean against the 

wall. Stretch your back leg and feel the muscle in your calf stretch. Hold this position for 

five seconds and repeat with your other leg. Repeat this two or three times

Side Stretch

Extend both your arms up in the air and reach as high as you can with your right arm. 

Lean a bit to the left so that the muscles in the right side of your torse are stretched. Hold 

this position for one second. Relax and make the same motion on the other side of your 

body. Repeat this three or four times.

Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit down on the floor and bend your legs. Place the soles of your feet against each other. 

Keep your back straight and bend forward over your feet. This stretches the muscles on 

the inside of your upper legs. Keep this position for five seconds, relax and repeat it three 

or four times.

Hamstring Stretch

Sit down on the floor with your right leg extended in front of you and place the sole of your 

left foot on the inside of your right upper leg. Bend forward in the direction of your right 

foot and hold this position for ten seconds. Relax and then do the same with your other 

leg. Repeat two or three times.

4. Use

The metal and plastic parts of the rowing machine can be cleaned with a standard 

household cleaning agent. However, make sure that all parts are dry before they are used 

again. The moving parts of the rowing machine were checked and lubricated in the 

factory. MOTIVEfitness advises you to do some periodical maintenance that you can easily 

do yourself:

The chain

Once every two months the chain needs to be lightly greased with ball bearing grease.  

Wheel gutters

Once every two weeks the wheel gutters in the aluminium frame need to be cleaned out 

with the sticks that were provided with the rowing machine. If any dirt is stuck, you can 

dip the stick in thinner or  benzine, and run it through the gutters several times until the 

dirt has been cleaned out. 

Batteries

To replace the batteries you can use a screwdriver and place it under the edge at the 

bottom of the computer display. You can lift the bottom of the display up to open it. The 

battery holder is now visible. Place the four batteries in the holder as directed. Replace 

the display cover and firmly press it until you hear it click into place. 

To prevent unnecessary wear MOTIVEfitness advises you to only use the rowing machine 

indoors and to only use and store it in a dry environment.
