Below, a sequence of four illustrations depicts the proper rowing technique from catch to recovery.

Proper rowing technique is crucial for an effective and safe workout. The rowing stroke consists of four phases: Catch, Drive, Finish, and Recovery.

• Catch: Knees bent, shins vertical, arms extended forward, back straight, core engaged.
• Drive: Push off with legs, then swing back with your torso, and finally pull the handle towards your abdomen.
• Finish: Legs extended, torso slightly reclined, handle at abdomen, elbows past the body.
• Recovery: Extend arms forward, then pivot torso forward, and finally bend knees to return to the catch position.
