Expert Advice

Use a powerful leg drive followed by a strong back pull, and finish with the arms. Reverse the sequence smoothly on the return.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Sit on the rowing machine with feet strapped in and grab the handle.
  2. Start with legs bent and lean slightly forward, arms extended.
  3. Push through your legs until they're straight.
  4. Lean back to a slight angle and pull the handle to your lower ribs.
  5. Extend your arms and then bend your knees to return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired duration or number of strokes.
