Operating Instructions
Proper Rowing Technique
Achieving an effective workout requires proper form. The rowing stroke consists of three phases: the Catch, the Drive, and the Finish.
- The Catch: Sit tall with arms extended forward, knees bent, and shins vertical.
- The Drive: Push off with your legs, then swing your back, and finally pull with your arms. Your legs, core, and arms should work in sequence.
- The Finish: Lean back slightly, legs extended, and pull the handle to your abdomen.
- The Recovery: Extend your arms, then swing your body forward, and finally bend your knees to return to the Catch position.

Adjusting Magnetic Resistance
The GYMAX Magnetic Rowing Machine features 10 levels of adjustable magnetic resistance. To change the resistance level, locate the tension control knob, usually found near the front of the machine. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase resistance (higher numbers) and counter-clockwise to decrease resistance (lower numbers). Choose a resistance level appropriate for your fitness level and workout goals.
