The multi-functional LCD display tracks your workout progress. It typically shows the following metrics:
- Time: Duration of your current workout.
- Distance: Estimated distance covered.
- Count: Number of strokes during the current workout.
- Total Count: Total number of strokes since the monitor was reset.
- Calories: Estimated calories burned.
- Scan: Automatically cycles through all metrics.
The monitor is battery-powered. Ensure batteries are installed correctly. A tablet holder is integrated for convenience.
Proper Rowing Technique:
To maximize effectiveness and prevent injury, maintain proper form:
- Catch: Sit tall, knees bent, shins vertical, arms extended forward, hands gripping the handle.
- Drive: Push off with your legs, then lean back slightly from the hips, and finally pull the handle towards your abdomen.
- Finish: Legs extended, body leaning back slightly, handle at your abdomen, elbows past your body.
- Recovery: Extend arms forward, then lean forward from the hips, and finally bend knees to slide forward to the catch position.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your rowing machine.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the machine with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: The aluminum slide rail may benefit from occasional light lubrication with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth seat movement.
- Inspections: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and connections for tightness. Retighten as necessary. Inspect the pulling strap and handle for any signs of wear or damage.
- Storage: When not in use, the machine can be stored upright to save space. Utilize the built-in transport wheels to move it easily.
