This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most people start at
about 15-20 minutes
3. The Cool Down Phase
This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This is a
repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5
minutes. The stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to
force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least
three times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your MAGNETIC ROWER you will need to have the resistance
set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you cannot
train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you
need to alter your training program. You should train as normal during the warm up and
cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase
resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to keep
your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and
longer you work the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if
you were training to improve your fitness, the difference is the goal.
