How to do rowing?

A rowing machine, as the name suggests, is an indoor fitness equipment used to imitate rowing movements. Rowing may seem simple, but actually doing it still requires skills, and it is not difficult at all. Rowing exercises can have a significant effect on the back muscles, while effectively mobilizing the joints of the spine and enhancing elasticity and toughness. Below I will introduce in detail the training method of rowing.

Rowing action method:

1. For this exercise, you will need V-handles and a low pulley. Note that the V-handles will give you a neutral grip with your palms facing each other. Begin by sitting on the machine and placing your feet on the platform in front of you, making sure your knees are slightly bent rather than locked straight out.

2. Lean forward keeping your back fully extended and grip the V-handles.

3. Extend your arms and straighten your body to create a 90-degree angle between your legs. Your back will be slightly arched and your chest will be pushed out. This is your starting position.

4. While exhaling, keep your body fixed and pull your arms backwards. Try to keep your arms close to your body until your handles touch your abdomen. In this movement, you should contract your back muscles as much as possible and pause for one second at the top of the contraction. Then, while inhaling, slowly return to the starting position.

5. Repeat the action. NOTE: Avoid rocking your body back and forth. If you do this, you may injure your waist. Variations: You can use straight handlebars instead of V-handles. When performing this exercise, you can use a pronated grip (palms facing down, straight grip) or a supinated grip (palms facing up, reverse grip). Do this 12 times in a row. Practice every other day, 2-3 sets each time, 12-15 times each set.

The above is an explanation of the rowing movement. You should practice more according to the methods introduced above. Especially for people with more fat in the waist, abdomen and upper arms, doing more rowing movements can effectively reduce excess fat on the back, develop beautiful latissimus dorsi muscles, and improve bad hunchback posture. Bring you unexpected body shaping effect.
