Even if you aren’t trying to be a world class rower, there are a few simple things that can make you much more efficient on the rower.  Keeping the arms straight during the leg and hip drive is the first priority.  Upon the “catch” or recovery phase, be sure to allow the hands to pass the knees BEFORE they (the knees) bend.  Improving your row technique will allow you to generate more force with your legs and hips, thus giving you a better workout.  Watch the slow motion video paying close attention to the sequence of knee and hip, extension and flexion, and how it relates to the arm action.
