Correct Rowing Machine Technique, Improve Your Rowing | Concept2

Описание: Technique on an indoor rowing machine can be divided into three parts: the catch, the drive and the recovery. This video will take you through proper technique on the rowing machine. This is appropriate for all types of athletes.

The Catch
Arms are straight; head is neutral; shoulders are level and not hunched.
Upper body is leaning forward from the hips with the shoulders
in front of the hips.
Shins are vertical, or as close to vertical as is comfortable for you. Shins should not move beyond perpendicular.
Heels may lift as needed.

The Drive
Start the drive by pressing with your legs, and then swing the back through the vertical position before finally adding the arm pull.
Hands move in a straight line to and from the flywheel.
Shoulders remain low and relaxed.

The Finish
Upper body is leaning back slightly, using good support from
the core muscles.
Legs are extended and handle is held lightly below your ribs.
Shoulders should be low with wrists and grip relaxed. Wrists should be flat.

The Recovery
Extend your arms until they straighten before leaning from the hips towards the flywheel.
Once your hands have cleared your knees, allow your knees to bend and gradually slide the seat forward on the monorail.
For your next stroke, return to the catch position with shoulders relaxed and shins vertical.
