  • Page 5 OPERATION The WaterRower is unique in using the effect of drag to provide an exercise which is entirely self paced. Because drag is linked to speed, a crew rowing down a river chooses its intensity of exercise simply by altering the pace at which they row: the faster the boat travels the greater the drag and the harder the crew must work.
  • Page 6 START UP MAINTENANCE During the first weeks of use, the wood in your WaterRower will adjust to the temperature and humidity of the environment. During this period it is strongly advised that you GENTLY tighten all the Connecting Bolts with the Allen Key.

  • Page 9 AEROBIC TRAINING A sustained exercise program will improve the efficiency with which the respiratory and cardiovascular system can supply oxygen. This improves lung function, heart function, vascular efficiency and capillary growth, leading to improved well being and endurance. At about 70 - 80% of the maximum heart rate, lactate begins to accumulate in the blood supply at a greater rate than it can be extracted by the liver, kidneys and other organs.
