Instructions for Rowing
Rowing is a form of exercise that provides total-body strength and cardiovascular benefits. It is achievable with minimal equipment and is great for beginner exercisers and experienced athletes alike. Follow the steps below to learn how to row correctly.
Steps
- 1. Find a comfortable rowing machine. Sit on the machine with your feet flat on the foot plate, your arms extended to reach the handle, your back straight, and your shoulders relaxed.
- 2. Begin the drive by pushing your feet against the foot plate. Your legs should be straight, and your arms remain extended as you drive with your legs.
- 3. Pull your arms back towards your torso and hinge your back slightly towards a bent position as you transition from the push to the pull.
- 4. As your arms approach full extension, drive with your legs as you return to the beginning position. Extend your arms to their full length as you finish the drive.
Continue these steps for the duration of your row. Focus on staying relaxed and engaging your core for the deepest benefit. Enjoy the feel of the machine and the rhythmic motion of the row. This is an effective form of exercise that can be practiced for short or long durations.
