Horizontal Rowing Posture Demonstrated by Olympic Gold Medalists

Описание: World-champion rower John Dunn uses clips from the Beijing Olympics to show you what your rowing posture should look like at the catch, middle of the drive, and release. You'll see that all of the 2008 gold medalists demonstrate a relaxed and horizontal (not upright) rowing style with rounded backs.
