Cross trainers require you to drive your foot forward in the footplates one after the other whilst simultaneously pushing the handles back and forth. This mimics a similar motion to walking without the impact of landing on the ground with each step, like a treadmill.

Rowing machines use your arms, legs and core to push your seat up and down the rails, whilst simultaneously pulling the handle back and forth. Correct form is very important on a rower, keeping your back straight and shoulder pushed back will allow you to fully activate your muscles and avoid injury.
