  • Page 4 BE PREPARED Firstly ensure you are adequately prepared and in suitable physical condition. If in any doubt at all about this, please seek appropriate medical advice prior to attempting any exercise. Other aspects of being prepared are that you are wide awake and not under the influence of alcohol or mood-affecting drugs, that you are well hydrated and that you have allowed reasonable time to digest your last meal.

The coaching process begins at the finish of the stroke, finding out the right position for that. So as explained above, sit on the seat of the rower with your feet in position on the footboard, and your legs straight.

Go to Position E, and give a strong positive tug with the arms, retaining that flat rectangle of forearms and handle. So the forearms work like pistons pulling straight back, and the elbows slip past the sides of the body almost brushing the lower ribs.
