Important Safety Information
Read All Instructions Before Using
Rowing is an extremely effective form of exercise. It strengthens the heart and improves
circulation, tones all the major muscle groups and in conjunction with a calorie-controlled diet,
will help you lose weight.
SAFETY
1. Make sure all parts are secure before using your Rower 1000, if necessary tighten any loose
nuts and bolts.
2. Always consult your physician before engaging in any exercise program.
3. Always wear sensible clothing and footwear while exercising.
4. Always warm up thoroughly before exercising, as this will help prevent muscle strain.
5. Do not let children around the rowing machine whether it is in use or not.
6. Do not exercise within 2 hours of eating a large meal, or for one hour before.
7. Only use the Rower 1000 in a clear space, make sure there is nothing directly behind the
Rowing machine, which could be an obstruction when getting on or off.
8. Exercise should be stopped if any of the following occur: Nausea, Trembling, and Extreme
Shortness of Breath, Excessively Fast Heart Rate, A Throbbing Head or Pains in the Chest.
Your physician should be consulted if any of the symptoms of discomfort persist.
Rowing Resistance
The dial on the end of the cylinder can alter the resistance on the rowing action. The easiest
setting is marked No.1 on the dial, the hardest marked No.12. The level of resistance should be
set to meet your individual needs. A high resistance setting will work your muscles harder and
help tone them but will mean you cannot exercise for a long period of time. A low resistance
setting will enable you to workout for longer and help improve your physical fitness. A balance
should be found to suit your own exercise goals.

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
1.The Warm Up Phase
This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will
also reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises
as shown below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk
your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP.
The Basic Rowing Stroke
1. Sit on the saddle and fasten your feet to the pedals using the velcro straps. Then take hold of
the rowing handle.
2. Take up your starting position, leaning forward with your arms straight and knees bent, as
shown in figure 1.
3. Push yourself backwards, straightening your back and legs at the same time, figure 2.
4. Continue this movement until you are leaning slightly backwards, during this stage you
should bring your arms towards your body, figure 3. Then return to stage 2 and repeat. It is
very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout.

2. The Exercise Phase –Training Time
Rowing is a strenous form of exercise, because of this it is best to start with a short, easy
exercise programme and build up to a longer and harder work-out. Start rowing for about 5
minutes and as you progress, increase the length of your workout to suit your improving level
of fitness. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone
shown on the graph below.

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most people start at about 15-20 minutes
3. The Cool Down Phase
This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. Slow down your
tempo and reduce the resistance. Work at this reduced level for about 5 minutes. Then repeat
the stretching exercises, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
