USE
Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In addition to
strengthening the heart and improving circulation, it
develops the various groups of large muscles: the back,
the abdomen, the arms, the shoulders as well as the
pelvis and the legs. Rowing also develops muscular
flexibility without exertion of joints, and it is a recommended
form of exercise for those who suffer from pains in the
neck and shoulder area.
Working out using a rowing machine is excellent aerobic
exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be
suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is
based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen uptake,
which in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability
of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on
its oxygen-uptake capacity.
Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You
should perspire, but you should not get out of breath
during the workout. You must, for example, be able to
speak and not just pant while rowing. You should
exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a
time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this
level requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once
the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved,
simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions.
Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because it
is the only way of increasing the energy spent by the body.
This is why it is always worthwhile to combine regular
exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily
- at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing
the daily workout time to one hour. You should start slowly
at a low pedalling speed and low resistance, because for
an overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the
heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As
fitness improves, resistance and speed can be increased
gradually.
Short sequences at heavy load increase maximum strength
and muscular mass, longer sequences at a lighter load
trim the body and develop stamina.

defective part.

CHANGING BATTERIES

If there are only weak or no figures on display, change the
batteries (2 x 1,5 V AA). Dismount the meter from the rail
(see assembly, fig. 8) and disconnect the meter and the
transmitter cable. Open the meter cover and change the
batteries. Replace the top cover and reconnect the cables.
Thread the cables into the groove in the rail to avoid
damage. The meter is fastened to the rail with two straps
of adhesive fabric.
