manual abstract
This well-designed machine will provide many years of controlled environment rowing. With the Tunturi R701 Rowing Machine, you can control the intensity of your workout by the number of strokes you complete per minute. The faster you row, the more air resistance is built up which works against the flywheel fan mechanism. The pulling motion of the Tunturi Air Rower closely simulates the oar action of racing shells. Throughout your workout, the electronics module measures time, speed, distance, and calories burned. This manual describes everything you need to know to assemble and operate your Tunturi Air Rower. Before you attempt to assemble or operate the rowing machine, read the entire contents of this manual carefully. Being familiar with the machine, its components and capabilities will ensure you receive the maximum benefits offered. Rowing is an excellent form of aerobic exercise. The Tunturi R701 Air Rower allows you to maintain a consistent fitness program at any time of the day, in any type of weather. Rhythmic rowing lets you exercise without putting the entire weight of your body on your legs. Not only will you condition your heart and lungs, but the pull motion of each stroke develops a wide range of muscles in your back, stomach, legs, shoulders, and arms. Before beginning any exercise program, see your physician and have a complete physical examination. Discuss an appropriate exercise program for your physical condition, weight, and age. A regular program of aerobic exercise strengthens your heart and circulatory system. To receive the benefits of aerobics, you need to exercise continuously for at least 20 minutes at a pace that elevates your heart rate to 80% of its maximum output.
