4.4 Proper Rowing Technique

Effective rowing involves a sequence of movements: the catch, the drive, the finish, and the recovery. Focus on smooth, controlled movements rather than brute force.

• The Catch: Knees bent, shins vertical, arms extended forward, back straight, shoulders relaxed.
• The Drive: Push off with your legs, then swing your back, and finally pull with your arms.
• The Finish: Legs extended, back slightly reclined, handle pulled to your lower ribs.
• The Recovery: Extend arms, then pivot from hips, then bend knees to slide forward.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Toorx RWX-AIR-Cross rower.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the rower with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Rail Cleaning: Periodically clean the monorail with a non-abrasive cloth to ensure smooth seat movement.
• Chain/Strap Lubrication: If your model uses a chain, lubricate it regularly with a small amount of chain oil (e.g., mineral oil). If it uses a strap, inspect for wear.
• Bolt Tightness: Check all bolts and fasteners periodically and tighten if necessary.
• Storage: When not in use, store the rower in a clean, dry environment. The RWX-AIR-Cross can be stored vertically to save space.
