Resistance

resistance, level four represents heaviest resistance. Allow for up to ten strokes after adjusting resistance handle for
desired resistance level to be reached.

How Often

Begin with 5 minute training sessions once a day and aim for around 2:30 to 2:45 for 500m time. Row at a pace that
keeps the water circulating continuously between strokes.
Progress a few minutes more each day until you are comfortable with 30-45 minutes training time 3 or 4 times a week.
This will provide aerobic endurance benefits, muscle toning and sufficient calorie burning to form part of a weight
loss program.
