The Rowing Action uses 84% of your muscle mass; from the tips of the fingers holding the handle/
oars, to the balls of the feet connected to the footboard/boat, all the muscles between these 2
points contribute to the Rowing Action. The Rowing Action is comprised of both fast (drive phase)

in order to create a smooth, flowing, unhurried Rowing Action. The diagrams below show 3 basic
