Instructions

Preparation

Sit on seat. Place feet on pedals and grasp handle bars.

Execution

Extend hips and knees while pulling handle bars back to sides. Return to original position and repeat.

Comments

Keep chest high, particularly at end of pulling phase (top position). Rider movement borders on weight bearing at top of movement (legs extended). Intensity can be altered by lever adjustment and speed (strokes per minute).
