The magnet is controlled manually, by twisting the dial knob.

The resistance levels goes from 1 = easy to 16 = hard. Dial Knob Levelling your Air Rower

• Check your Proper Rowing Techniques as below: A. Forward body angle at the “ START” 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 “ PULLING “ You should begin the pulling 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 stresses. You should feel your abdominal muscles doing some works when you sit in the finish position. 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 without bouncing gently . Start each workout with several minutes of easy rowing for a warm-up. Take at least 5 minutes to build your intensity before starting a hard workout. Start your exercise program gradually and build up to heavy work. If you have not rowed in over a week, take it easy for your first row. Don’t expect to be able to jump right on where you left off and don’t try to do intense interval work. Start with a steady row at a comfortable pace and try building the intensity gradually through several intervals of 1-3 minutes in length from next row. Use a resistance level setting on 8. The best, all-purpose resistance setting for a great cardiovascular workout is in the setting range of 6-10. Rowing with the resistance setting too high can be detrimental to your training program by reducing your output and increasing your risk of injury.

The lower setting requires you to be a little faster in applying your power which, in the end, gives you a better workout.

Aim for a stroke rate / SPM of between 24 ~ 30 spm. Allow a little extra time for warm-up, and start very easily. Don’t expect to be abler to do a hard interval workout right away. It is important to give your body a rest every so often, even though rowing makes you feel great and you want to do it every day. We recommend taking at least one day off per week from rowing and it will make you more eager and have a better workout next day.

Rowing is an extremely effective form of exercise. It strengthens the heart, improves circulation, as well as exercising all the major muscle groups - back, waist, arms, shoulders, hips & legs.

Rowing is also impact-free and non-weight-bearing, which makes it that much more appropriate and valuable as a tool for rehabilitation and recovery, and for people of all ages. The pictures below show the proper body position in use during each stroke. START Extend your arms straight toward the flywheel.

• Lean your upper body slightly forward 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). PULLING Begin the drive by pushing off the footplates with your legs.
• Keep your arms straight and once your legs are straight, lean back slightly.
• Complete the move by pulling the handle towards your torso, just below the chest. RETURN

• 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. FINISH Pull the handle all the way into your abdomen.
• Straighten your legs.
• Lean your upper body back slightly. REPEAT

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. NOTE:

Have someone watch you to help you match your body positions as the pictures shown above. These positions should be blended together to make a smooth and continuous stroke with no stopping at any points in the stroke. Your handle grip should be loose and comfortable and your wrist should be level during the rowing. Please ensure that fingers are not placed inside of the runner assembly when moving the product. When adjusting your exercise position and you need to steady yourself by holding onto the rower, ensure that it is the underside of the seat upholstery that you are grasping.
