CORRECT ROWING GUIDE

FAULT: OVER REACHING: The body stretches too far forward. The shins may be past vertically. The
head and shoulders tend to drop towards the feet. The body is in a weak position for the stroke.
SOLUTION: The shins are vertical. The body is pressed up to the legs. The arms are fully extended
and relaxed. Body is tilted slightly forward. This position should feel comfortably.
FAULT: ROWING WITH BENT ARMS: The user starts the stroke by pulling with the arms rather than
pushing with the legs.
SOLUTION: The user starts the stroke by pushing the legs and bracing the back with the arms fully
extended and relaxed.
FAULT: BENT WRISTS: The user bends his wrists at any time through the stroke.
SOLUTION: Always row with flat wrists through the entire stroke.
