USING YOUR ROWING MACHINE REGULARLY WILL:
• Improve your overall physical fitness, strengthening the heart and improving
circulation as well as exercising all the major muscle groups: the back, waist, arms,
shoulders, hips and legs.
• Tone your muscles & in conjunction with a calorie-controlled diet: it will help you
lose weight. Rowing is an extremely effective form of exercise.
THE BASIC ROWING STROKE
• Sit on the saddle and fasten your feet to the pedals using the straps.
Then take hold of the rowing bar.
• Take up the starting position, leaning forward with your arms straight and knees
bent as shown in
• Push yourself backwards, straightening your back and legs at the same
time Fig 2.
• Continue this movement until you are leaning slightly backwards, during this
stage you should bring your arms out of the side
and repeat.
TRAINING
• Rowing is a strenuous form of exercise, so it's best to start training with
low resistance and for short periods if you are a beginner. As you progress,
you can increase the resistance and training time to suit your needs and
fitness goals.
We recommend you begin training on alternate days, approx. 3 times a week
to give your body time to recover between workouts.
