Rowing is an action that many people like to do in the gym. It is completed with the help of the seated row machine. There are also many training methods and equipment used for this action, such as seated cable row, wide grip cable row, single arm cable row, (low) high cable row machine, long pull machine. But no matter which way, when doing rowing, you can not only exercise the back muscles and arm muscles, but also exercise the waist and abdomen muscles, thigh and calf muscles. It can be said that many muscles of the whole body have participated in the movement, which is a way of doing more with one stone. However, when rowing in a sitting position, you should master certain action essentials. It's inappropriate to do it at will. Let's take a look at the essentials.

When rowing in sitting position, the first thing to pay attention to is to keep the spine upright and not bend or twist, which is easy to cause sports injury. In addition, when exercising, don't lean back too much and let the body return to the original angle. If you lean back too much, you will change the part of force. Instead of using your hips to recover your body, your hips are exerting force, and it doesn't have a good exercise effect on your back muscles, because leaning back will reduce the pressure on your back muscles. Instead, use the back row machine for training
The second key point of seated rowing is that the actions must be done in place, especially the interval between each action and the next one. In other words, after an action is completed, the body should return to the original state of preparation. Many people don't return their elbows to the state of clamping the body at the beginning. After pulling half, they rush to do the second one. The effect of such exercise is not obvious. Don't worry. Every action should be done completely and in place, so that the fitness effect will be more obvious.
The third key point of rowing in sitting position is to pay attention to the movement of legs, bend the knees moderately and don't be stiff. Because the body is a relatively flexible mechanical combination, if the knee is stiff, the pressure and friction will be greater and can not be buffered. If it is done for a long time, it will be bad for the joints and ligaments.
