2.4. ABDOMINAL MUSCLES
By tightening the knob under the seat, the
seat can be locked in its place. The locked
position can be used e.g. for exercising
the abdominal muscles or for back-rowing.
To exercise the abdominal muscles, lock
the seat at a suitable distance from the
footrests so that you can sit with the legs
slightly bent. Tie the straps of the footrests
and lift yourself up to the sitting position.
To increase the resistance hold your hands
behind your neck or hold weights in your
hands (D).
2.5. BACK-ROWING
You can strengthen the extensor muscles
of the arms by back-rowing, i.e. pushing
the oars instead of pulling.
Lock the seat as forward as possible and
sit the other way round than for rowing.
Rest the feet on the floor (E and F).
