EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS

Using your ROWING MACHINE will provide you with several benefits, it will improve your physical fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.

1. The Warm Up Phase

This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP.

2. The Exercise Phase

OUTER THIGH

This is the stage where you put

the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become more flexible. Work to your target but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the graph below.

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most people start at about 15-20 minutes

3. The Cool Down Phase

This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.

As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.

MUSCLE TONING

To tone muscle while on your Performance Rower you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.

WEIGHT LOSS

The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your fitness, the difference is the goal.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance is very important to ensure your equipment is always in top working condition. Improper maintenance could cause damage or shorten the life of your equipment and exceed the WARRANTY coverage.

Important: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the equipment. To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away and keep it out of direct sunlight.

After each workout: Wipe off the console and other frame surfaces with a clean, water dampened soft cloth to remove excess perspiration. Inspect and tighten all parts of the equipment regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

Don't use the equipment before the worn parts are replaced.

Special attention to the belt is needed as this most susceptible to wear. When you feel that the rower is not smooth, please check the status of the belt or call the service centre.

How to fold the unit

Please pull out the lock pin from the joint and fold the aluminum rail. Then secure by inserting the lock pin.

Correct Exercising Position

When exercising, grasp the handlebar tightly and relax your back. Always try and use the product in a rhythmical and smooth motion. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, or experience a surging type feeling, there is probably too much tension.
