5.3 10 tips for effective rowing training
1. Set goals
What would you like to achieve with your training? Weight regulation, improved en-
durance, prevent risk of disease, more mobility, cardiovascular training, etc. In order
to achieve your long-term training goal, set individual partial goals, e. g., weekly or
monthly goals.
2. Concentration on training
Try to only dedicate yourself to your training unit and do not be distracted.
3. Position yourself correctly while exercising
When you execute the movement, your upper body should lean forward slightly and
your back should be straight. Avoid evasive movements in the hip or back area.
4. Correct breathing / appropriate resistance level
Do not overexert yourself physically and mentally by starting with resistance levels
that are too high. Start slowly and increase the resistance steadily. Aim for regular and
calm breathing.
5. Keep yourself properly hydrated
Drink, drink, drink! Have a drinking bottle close by during your workout.
6. Sufficient recovery phases
Allow your body and your muscles enough time to recover after your workout. Only a
relaxed muscle will be fully operational again.
7. Choose a diversified program
Switch your focus between different muscle groups and different levels of intensity
during your workout.
8. Creating the right workout
Every training session should have a warm-up phase, a cool-down phase and a tar-
geted stretching. It increases physical and mental performance and prevents injuries
and sore muscles.
9. Workout journal
Keep a record of your training sessions. Note the date, resting pulse, active pulse, reco-
very pulse, resistance level, time, distance, calories burnt and fitness level.
