Rowing Training
Indoor rowing is a total body workout that is used as a supplemental training tool by elite athletes
around the world in paddling and rowing sports. Indoor rowing or ‘erging’ builds muscular
endurance, cardio and is an amazing calorie blaster.
This Erg training program is tough and requires extraordinary discipline. I have found that working
with a training partner or with a small group motivates individuals to push just that much harder….
Remember ‘the extra mile?..not much traffic there.
Please, ensure you have at least one day ‘completely’ off from ALL your combined training activities
each week.
