Foot Placement and Body Mechanics
Any rowers out there? This is for you.
Don’t stress the strap – stress the foot placement. If you hit the catch in a dog poop, rounded shape, you may need to lower your feet. If you are a stiff athlete without a lot of hip flexion, you may need to lower your feet. Ultimately this about reducing compromises, ensuring your ability to breathe, stabilizing your shoulders, and the relationship between femur and hip.
Happy rowing.
