Proper Rowing Technique
Correct form is crucial for effective and safe rowing. The rowing stroke consists of four phases: the catch, the drive, the finish, and the recovery.

- 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 the lower ribs.
- The Recovery: Extend arms, pivot forward from the hips, then bend knees to slide forward.

- Water Tank: Periodically check the water level and quality. If the water becomes discolored, replace it. Use water purification tablets (if provided or recommended by manufacturer) to prevent algae growth. The machine features a robust water tank and sealing strips designed to prevent leaks.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the frame, seat, and handle with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
