Without rowing, you could damage your lower back or injure yourself. [substeps] Keep stretching before rowing and place your feet in an even position. For instance, you should be sitting tall on your seat, with your head up and your eyes ahead. Make sure that your navel is pulled into your spine. While rowing, stand with your feet hip width apart and your shoulders lowered to lower your back. Place both of your arms evenly on the top of your head. Always be on the bar/bench without your feet directly touching the walls of the water. When rowing, don't lean over your legs, or try to jump forward.
