a hook for securing the rowing machine properly
in the storage position. Choose an appropriate
storage site for your rowing machine next to a wall
and attach the hook tightly to the wall at the right
height. Lift the rowing machine to the storage
position in front of the hook. Thread the loop
provided with the rowing machine around the
cross bar and attach the loop to the hook. Do not
climb on the rowing machine when it is in storage
position!
EXERCISING
Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In
addition to strengthening the heart and improving
circulation, it develops the various groups of
large muscles: the back, the abdomen, the arms,
the shoulders as well as the pelvis and the legs.
Rowing also develops muscular flexibility without
exertion of joints, and it is a recommended form of
exercise for those who suffer from pains in the neck
and shoulder area. Working out using a rowing
machine is excellent aerobic exercise, the principle
being that the exercise should be suitably light,
but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on
improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake,
which in turn improves endurance and fitness. The
ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly
dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity.
Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You
should perspire, but you should not get out of
breath during the workout.
You should exercise at least three times a week, 30
minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level.
Maintaining this level requires a few exercise
sessions each week. Once the basic condition has
been reached, it is easily improved, simply by
increasing the number of exercise sessions.
Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss,
because it is the only way of increasing the
energy spent by the body. This is why it is always
worthwhile to combine regular exercise with
a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily
- at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually
increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
You should start slowly and at low resistance,
because strenuous exercise may subject the heart
and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness
improves, resistance and speed can be increased
gradually.
Short sequences at heavy load increase maximum
strength and muscular mass, longer sequences at
a lighter load trim the body and develop stamina.
First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the
rate doesn't increase with added effort. If you don't
know your maximum heart rate, please use the
following formula as a guide:

220 - AGE
These are average values and the maximum varies
from person to person. The maximum heart-rate
diminishes on average by one point per year. If you
belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure
your maximum heart rate for you.
We have defined three different heart-rate zones to
help you with targeted training.
50-60 % of maximum heart-rate
BEGINNER:
Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven't exercised for a long time.
Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each
is recommended. Regular exercise considerably
improves beginners' respiratory and circulatory
performance and you will quickly feel your
improvement.
60-70 % of maximum heart-rate
TRAINER:
Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness.
Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs
effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes
at least three times a week. To improve your
condition still further, increase either frequency or
effort, but not both at the same time!
70-80 % of maximum heart-rate
ACTIVE TRAINER:
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.

USE

ADJUSTING RESISTANCE

During exercise you may increase/decrease exercise
intensity by pressing the + / - keys. Increase
resistance/pulse with the + and decrease resistance/
pulse with the - key.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
The console has a heart rate receiver, so you
can also use uncoded heart rate belts for heart
rate measurement. The most reliable heart rate
measurement is achieved with a telemetric device,
in which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened
to the chest transmit the pulses from the heart to
the console by means of an electromagnetic field.
If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please
NOTE!
consult a physician before using a wireless heart
rate monitor.
If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or
water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest
with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the
electrodes remain in contact with the skin while
