The
built-in Cadence Coach is the secret to smooth rowing and a consistent
training stroke rate.
Fluid within the resistance chamber is
circulated vertically to maximize the smoothness of the stroke, a minimum
cadence (or stroke rate) is required. This allows the momentum of
the flywheel to be maintained against the resistance of the fluid.
Many trainers use the resulting cadence to time their stoke rate.
The "catch" phase of the rowing action feels remarkably similar
to actual 'on water' rowing. The minimum stroke rate this engenders
encourages the user to exercise at a reasonable level.
To use this unique feature, just choose a resistance level (between 1-20)
that allows you to maintain the Cadence Coach stroke rate (about 20-24
strokes per minute). If you find it difficult, simply lower the
resistance level until you feel comfortable.
