Therowing machinepromises an amazing full-body, cardio workout. But while it may look like a simple piece of kit to use, in reality nailing the technique isn’t so straightforward, and if your technique is wrong then chances are that you’re not going to get your fastest row time.
Someone who does know a thing or two about great rowing technique isJane Erbacher, founder of the Erg Army. In a recent post on her Instagram, Jane shares a single tip that she says will ‘instantly’ help your rowing speed soar, as she highlights it’s one of themost common mistakes people make on the rowing machine.
“Nine out of 10 people are sitting in the wrong spot on the rower,” Jane says in her video. “A lot of people sit down on the rower and become a little turtle back.” What’s wrong with becoming a little turtleback? Well, for starters it’s poor posture, which means your form and technique will instantly be compromised (plus you’ll get a bad back).
The more power you produce, the faster you’ll be able to row. Give it a go the next time you’re using the rower and see if it makes a difference.
