CAUTION
CAUTION

Rowing uses many muscles and may assist in strengthening, balance
and fitness. Rowing is also low impact and non-weight-bearing, making it
ideal for people of all ages.
If the Powertrain Air Rower is not used appropriately, as with any activity,
there is the risk of injury.
There are several things you can do to maximize the benefits of rowing
for your entire body:
1. Consult your physician before you to undertake any exercise program
2. Check your technique. Review the rowing technique information in this.
Here are a few key points of technique:
a. Forward body angle at the catch: The
shins should not go beyond vertical; and
the forward body angle should not be
more than about 30 degrees. It should
feel like a comfortable amount of reach
b. Coordination of the drive: You should
begin the drive by pressing down your
legs, keeping the arms straight, and
without changing the angle of the back
initially. When your legs are about
halfway extended, start prying open the
back. Finally, finish the drive by pulling
the handle all the way into your
abdomen
c. Layback at the finish: Your back should
swing past the vertical by about 25
degrees at the finish of the stroke. This
layback position should feel comfortable,
not stressed. You should feel your
abdominal muscles doing some work
when you sit in the finish position
3. Include some stretching in your exercise routine. A
variety of aches and pains can be eased or
prevented by investing a little time in stretching. See
the training guide for specific recommendations.
Stretch gently without bouncing
4. Start each workout with several minutes of easy
rowing for a warm-up. Take at least five minutes to
build your intensity before starting a hard workout.
5. Start your exercise program gradually. Row no more
than five minutes the first day to let your body adjust
to the new exercise. Gradually increase your rowing
time and intensity over the first two weeks.
※Getting the
most from your
workouts

6. Build up gradually to heavy work. Be smart about increasing your
workout load. If you haven't rowed in over a week, take it easy for your
first row. Don't expect to be able to jump right in where you left off.
Don't try to do intense interval work. Start with a steady row at a
comfortable pace. In your next row, try building the intensity gradually
through several intervals of 1-3 minutes in length. Then, if this all feels
good, you can start doing more intense work. If it's been over a month
since your last row, plan to build back up even more gradually to
where you left off in both the length and intensity of your workouts.
7. Use a damper setting of 3. The best, all-
purpose damper setting for a great
cardiovascular workout is in the range of 3-
5.Rowing with the damper setting too high can
be detrimental to your training program by
reducing your output and increasing your risk of
injury. If you have been rowing at a higher
setting, this may feel a little light to you at first,
but give it a few days. The lower setting
requires you to be a little quicker in applying
your power which, in the end, gives you a better
workout.
8. Aim for a stroke rate (spm) of between 24 and 30 spm.
9. Consider the time of day. If you row in the morning, allow a little extra
time for warm-up, and start very easily. Don't expect to be able to do a
hard interval workout right away. If you don't usually row in the
morning but must do it every so often, remember that it may take your
body longer to be ready to do hard work.
10. Vary your workouts. One of the great things about the Powertrain
Indoor Rower is that it enables you to do virtually an infinite variety of
workouts. The length, format, and intensity of your workouts can all be
varied. Variety can go a long way in preventing boredom and it can
also be helpful to those who may develop aches and pains from doing
exactly the same thing for too long. And, last but not least, the
properly varied training program will result in the greatest gains in
fitness and performance
11. Remember to take rest days. Even though rowing makes you feel
great, and you want to do it every day, it's important to give your body
a rest every so often. Some people find it easy to rest one or even two
days per week. Others have a hard time going even a day without a
workout. We recommend taking at least one day off per week from
rowing
12.

To set the Flexfoot, pull the toe piece
toward you to release the flexfoot from
the two pegs. Slide the toe piece up or
down to achieve the proper setting, then
press the toe piece back down .
Begin by setting the Flexfoot heel so the
strap crosses the ball of your foot. As
you gain familiarity with the Indoor
Rower, you may choose to raise or
lower the Flexfoot a notch for reasons of
flexibility or general comfort.
Optimal setting permits the knee, lower
leg and ankle to be perpendicular to the
floor at the catch.
◎Lowering the Flexfoot heel permits
more seat travel.
◎Raising the Flexfoot heel cuts down
on leg flexion.
Before your workout, place the handle in
the handle hook to make it easier to
reach when you are seated on the rower.
NOTE: When the machine is not in use, it
is best to let the handle rest against the
fan cage(as shown at left) rather than in
the handle hook (i.e. overnight, between
workouts).This will prolong the life of the
shock cord.
Adjust monitor arm and monitor for easy
viewing as shown.
Seat comfort varies from one individual to
another.

with back straight but not stiff.
◎Slide forward on the seat until your
shins are vertical (or as close to this
as your flexibility will allow).
◎Begin the drive by pressing down your
legs.
◎Keep your arms straight, hold your
back firm to transfer your leg power
to the handle.
◎Gradually swing back with your upper
body, bending your arms and prying
open your back until you reach a slight
backward lean at the finish.
◎Pull the handle all the way into your
abdomen.
◎Straighten your legs.
◎Lean your upper body back slightly.
◎Extend your arms toward the flywheel.
◎Lean your upper body forward at the
hips to follow the arms.
◎Gradually bend legs to slide forward on
the seat. Be sure your arms are
extended before you bend your knees.
◎Draw your body forward until the shins
are vertical.
◎Upper body should be leaning forward
at the hips.
◎Arms should be fully extended.
◎You are ready to take the next stroke.
Technique Tips
· Have someone
watch you to help
you match your
body positions to
those shown.
· These positions
should be blended
together to make a
smooth and
continuous stroke
with no stopping at
any point in the
stroke.
· Aim for a stroke rate
of between 24
and30 strokes per
minute as displayed
on the Performance
Monitor.
· Grip should be loose
and comfortable;
wrists should be
level.

Key Concepts:
◎The harder you pull, the more resistance you will feel. This is because
the Indoor Rower uses wind resistance, which is generated by the
spinning flywheel. The faster you get the wheel spinning, the more
resistance there will be
◎You can row as hard or as easy as you wish. The rower will not force
you to row at any set intensity level. It is up to you. As you put more
effort into your rowing, you will go faster, produce more watts, and
burn more calories. All of these outputs can be measured and
displayed by the Bluetooth App Performance Monitor
◎The damper setting is like bicycle gearing. It
affects the feel of the rowing, but does not
directly affect the resistance. With a little
experimentation, you will find the damper
setting that gives you the best workout and
results. We recommend a damper setting of
3-5 for the best aerobic workout. This is the
setting that feels most like a sleek, fast boat
on the water. Higher settings feel more like
a bigger, slower boat.
◎You can view your performance in pace,
watts, calories. The Monitor displays your
output in a choice of units and display options. You can choose the
units and displays that work best for you.
For the feel of a sleeker, faster boat: damper setting 1 - 5
For the feel of a slower, heavier boat: damper setting 6 - 10
