Exercise Tips for Training on Rowing Machines: Using Health & Fitness Equipment
Competitive rowing is a sport where athletes race against one another in a single, double or quadruple seated boat on a body of water. The first actual recorded race was in 1715 and was called the Doggett's Coat and Badge; it is still held today in England. Today there are many different types of boat races that pit skill and stamina against one another in a dash to the finish line
All of the athletes that race must be in peak physical condition, and training is a very large part of that. The extensive workout regimen of a rower is intense: they may workout for years just to shave a few tenths of a second off of their time. In this free video series, learn some exercise tips for training on rowing machines and using health and fitness equipment. Our Canadian Olympic rower will show you how to get started, how to have the proper form and rowing technique and how to adjust the progress monitor for different types of rowing exercises.
