CORRECT ROWING METHOD
There are two rowing actions: slide and catch. However, for the coherence of actions, these two actions
usually are mixed together. No pause shall exist during rowing. We suggest someone observe your driving
and compare your position with that in the picture. Wrong exercise method may cause bodily harm.
CATCH
Pull your body to the starting position of next rowing
with your leg strength. Now, the user can start the
next rowing.
Remember that your body never stops suddenly.
SLIDE
During the rowing process, the user straight the legs,
and swings legs backwards through upright position.
During the rowing process, the arms are still straight,
and the shoulders shall be relaxed.
RECOVERY
At the end of rowing process, pull the handles toward
the abdomen with the strength of arms and shoulders.
The legs are straight, and the body leans back
slightly. Notice that the height of handles is not at
the height of chest nor knee.
SLIDE
Reach out arms, swing your body forward in the
support of hips and start homing. In this way, the
handles can be put in front of knees, avoiding the
mutual interference of knees and hands when the
seat moves forward.
CATCH
The rower bends knees, reaches out arms, and his
body leans towards the ywheel. All strength is
focused on legs and back. Start rowing. Note: arms
shall be straight, and shoulders shall be relaxed.

15FTR40 ROWING MACHINE
WARM UP AND COOL DOWN ROUTINE
A good exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool down. Do the entire program
at least two to three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months you can
increase your workouts to four or ve times per week.
AEROBIC EXERCISE is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs.
Aerobic exercise improves the tness of your lungs and heart. Aerobic tness is promoted by any activity
that uses your large muscles eg: legs, arms and buttocks. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply.
An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.
The WARM-UP is an important part of any workout. It should begin every session to prepare your body for
more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse
rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles. ‘
COOL DOWN at the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce soreness in tired muscles.
HEAD ROLLS
Rotate your head to the right for one count, feeling
the stretch up the left side of your neck, then rotate
your head back for one count, stretching your chin to
the ceiling and letting your mouth open. Rotate your
head to the left for one count, then drop your head to
your chest for one count.
SHOULDER LIFTS
Lift your right shoulder toward your ear for one
count. Then lift your left shoulder up for one
count as you lower your right shoulder.
SIDE STRETCHES

they are over your head. Reach your right arm as far
toward the ceiling as you can for one count. Repeat
