TRAINING
•
Rowing is a strenuous form of exercise, so it's best to start training with
low resistance and for short periods if you are a beginner. As you progress,
you can increase the resistance and training time to suit your needs and
fitness goals.
We recommend you begin training on alternate days, approx. 3 times a week
to give your body time to recover between workouts.
