The Workout
The workout should be based on the user's objectives, whatever the objective, make sure that goals are realistic. If set too low, improvements will not be forthcoming. If set too high, undue strain may remove the pleasure which should be associated with exercise.
If the user's goal is weight reduction then their workouts need to be predominantly aerobic based with the occasional high intensity piece.
There are 4 main rowing workouts: 1) Steady State Rowing - for fat burning and aerobic conditioning 2) Interval Training - for aerobic conditioning and speed improvement 3) Pyramid Training - for aerobic conditioning 4) Platform Training - - for aerobic conditioning particularly for racing
Ensure the user works comfortably within their limits as it is far better to finish an exercise routine feeling worked yet refreshed than thoroughly exhausted and de-motivated. Ensure everyone listens to their body. If the user feels slightly under the weather, make sure they don’t work out for their usual 30 minutes, but do 15 minutes at a low intensity with a long stretch instead.
Remember that exercise should compliment ones lifestyle, not rule it.
