Rowing Machine

A rowing machine, or ergometer, is used to simulate the action of watercraft rowing for the purpose of exercise or training for rowing.

Key Points

• Maintain good posture with a straight back.
• Engage your core throughout the movement.
• Use a powerful leg drive, then follow through with your arms.
• Return to the starting position smoothly and in control.

Common Mistakes

• Hunching the back.
• Using only arms instead of a full-body movement.
• Releasing the handle too quickly.
• Not fully extending the legs.
