before your first row
1) Consult your physician. Be sure that it is not dangerous for you to undertake a strenuous exercise program.
2) Carefully review the rowing technique information on page 12. Improper technique such as extreme layback
or jumping off the seat can result in injury.
3) Start each workout with several minutes of easy rowing for a warm-up.
4) Start your exercise program gradually.
Row no more than 5 minutes the first day to let your body adjust to the new exercise.
5) Gradually increase your rowing time and intensity over the first two weeks.
Do not row at full power until you are comfortable with the technique and have rowed for at least a week.
Like any physical activity, if you increase the volume and intensity too rapidly, fail to warm up properly, or
use poor technique, you will increase the risk of injury.
6) Rowing with the damper setting too high can be detrimental to your training program by reducing your out-
put and increasing risk of injury. It is better to err on the light side rather than on the heavy side.
Chain does not require oiling prior to first use.
