Muscles Trained

Set Up

1. 1Use the wall-mounted unit or the floor stand — both are stable and ready to use.
2. 2Wake the PM5 monitor by pressing any button; select Just Row or set a workout.
3. 3Stand facing the machine, about arm's length from the flywheel, feet hip-width apart.
4. 4Reach up and grip the handles above your head with a relaxed grip.

How to Use It

1. 1Start each pull with your arms extended overhead and a slight forward lean from the hips.
2. 2Pull the handles down by hinging at the hips and bending your knees as your arms drive down past your torso.
3. 3Finish with your hands near your hips, core braced, and knees softly bent.
4. 4Return smoothly to the top by extending your hips and reaching your arms back overhead in a coordinated motion.

Helpful Tips

• Drive with your core and hips — do not pull with arms alone.
• Keep your motion smooth; the flywheel rewards steady, coordinated pulls.
• Stay far enough back that the handles and cords can travel freely.
• Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing clear of the flywheel cage.
