Start on the Rower Closest to the Coach

For your first class, Tim said it's a good idea to start on the rower that's closest to the coach, so he or she can guide you and make sure you don't get lost. If you've never been on a rowing machine before, don't worry; your coach is there to help correct your form

Jamie said nailing proper form on the rower is one of the best ways to get the most out of your workout and increase calorie burn. "The WaterRower is the ultimate calorie burner," she said. "Efficient rowing technique engages over 80 percent of the muscles in the human body, and rowing is a low-impact exercise that accommodates all fitness levels."

The rower may seem intimidating, but once you get the hang of it, you might actually like it! Just maybe not the hand callouses that ensue.
