EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. It strengthens the heart and circulation as well as all the
major muscle groups: The back, abdomen, arms, shoulders, buttocks and legs.
Rowing basics:
1. Sit on the seat and put your feet on the footrests and fix them with the Velcro. Grasp the handles.
2. Assume the start position, leaning forward with arms outstretched and bending the legs.
3. Push yourself backwards. The back and legs are stretched at the same time and the body slowly
opens as the seat slides back.
4. Carry out this movement until you lean slightly backwards. At this stage the elbows should point
outwards. Return to the posture under point 2) and repeat the sequence.
As a beginner, you should first learn the correct sequence and the rhythm of movement. You can
increase the speed and resistance later.
