Operating Instructions ▶️
Getting Started
To begin your workout:
- Sit on the seat and place your feet securely in the foot straps. Adjust straps for a snug fit.
- Grip the handle with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
- Initiate the rowing motion, focusing on proper technique:
- Drive Phase: Begin by pushing with your legs, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
- Transition Phase: As your legs extend, lean back slightly from the hips.
- Finish Phase: Continue pulling the handle towards your chest, finishing with arms bent at approximately 90 degrees.
- Recovery Phase: Return to the starting position by extending your arms first, then bending your knees.
The console typically activates upon detecting movement or by pressing a button. Refer to the separate console manual for detailed information on display functions, workout programs, and settings.
Textual Description of Rowing Motion: The rowing stroke is a fluid, four-part movement. It begins with the legs driving the seat backward, followed by a slight lean back of the torso, and the arms pulling the handle towards the body. The recovery is the reverse motion, returning the seat and body to the starting position.
