Rowing Machine

How to do it

1. Strap your feet in across the widest part of the foot and hold the handle with an overhand grip.
2. Start each stroke by pushing with your legs, then lean back slightly and pull the handle to your lower ribs.
3. Return in reverse order: straighten your arms, lean your torso forward, and only then bend your knees.
4. Keep your back straight, drive hard with your legs and make the return slow and relaxed.

Start easy and build up gradually. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or pressure in your chest.
