the handlebar and feet on the lower foot pegs.

against the foot pegs creates the rowing action. Use
a balanced effort of your legs and arms. This
exercise is ideal for your total body. With lower
resistance settings it provides a great cardio
workout.

buttocks, quads and calves.
Recommendation: Two to five minutes with 2 – 3 bands.
Upper Body Row
The upper Body Row focuses on your upper body.
Place your hands on the handlebar and pull back
toward your chest while your feet are placed on the
upper footrest, in a resting position. Do not exert
force with your legs. All the focus should be in your
upper body. Variation in hand positions redirects
the focus of this exercise.
Targets: Arms, chest, shoulders, lats, core abdominal area.
Recommendation: Two to five minutes with 2 - 3 bands.

upper footrest. Push back against the backrest with
your legs. Extend fully and relax back to starting
point. Calf muscles can also be exercised by placing
toes on the footrest, and with legs fully extended;
rock your ankle back and forth to create a calf
press.

the upper footrest and grasping the bungee cords
located at the front of the BODYROW™. Push back
with your legs as you pull the bungee cords toward
your chest. As you approach full leg extension (do
not extend fully and lock your knees), row your
arms into your chest and out to the side as you
begin to let the bungee cords pull you back to the
starting position (see workout video for demonstration). Repeat this motion until
you get into a synchronized rhythm with your upper and lower body. This
exercise resembles traditional rowing which provides an outstanding total body
workout. You will also receive an outstanding cardiovascular workout at the
same time.
Targets: Arms, chest, shoulders, lats, core abdominal area, thighs, hips
buttocks, quads and calves.
Recommendation: Three to five minutes with 2 – 3 bands.

Go back to the Total Body Row position for one to two minutes, using 1 – 2
resistance bands. Exercise at a slower pace letting your heart rate drop and
your muscles cool down.
