USE AND TRAINING IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES Use of this machine with a worn or weakened part, such as the chain, drive cord, sprockets, cord/handle connector, handle u-bolt or shock cord, may result in injury to the user. When in doubt about the condition of any part, Concept2 strongly advises that it be replaced immediately. Use only genuine Concept2 parts. Use of other parts may result in injury or poor performance of machine. Perform proper maintenance as described in the Maintenance section on page 11.
USE AND TRAINING PROPER ROWING TECHNIQUE The rowing stroke can be divided into two parts: the drive and the recovery. The drive is the work portion of the stroke; the recovery is the rest portion that prepares you for the next drive. The body movements of the recovery are essentially the reverse of the drive. Blend these movements into a smooth continuum to create the rowing stroke. To view a video demonstrating proper rowing technique, watch Precision on the Dynamic at concept2.com/technique.
USE AND TRAINING GETTING STARTED 1. Start your exercise program gradually. Row no more than five minutes the first day to let your body adjust to the new exercise. 2. Gradually increase your rowing time and intensity over the first two weeks. Do not row at full power until you are comfortable with the technique and have rowed for at least a week.
