Sit on the seat, facing the footrests. Place your feet
in the footrests and adjust the straps to fit your feet.
Hold the handle with an overhand grip. Correct row-

ward until your knees are almost touching your
chest. Pull the handle until your hands are close
to your feet.
2. The second phase is the DRIVE. Push backward
using your legs. eep your back straight. Lean
back slightly at the hips (not at the waist) and
begin pulling the handle toward your chest. eep
your elbows outward.
3. The third phase is the FINISH. Your legs should
be nearly straight. Continue to pull the handle
until your hands are even with your chest.
After the finish phase, extend your arms forward
and pull the seat forward using your legs. Repeat,
moving through all three phases with a smooth,
fluid motion. Remember to breathe normally as you
row—never hold your breath.
