As a coach you need to ensure all your athletes are warmed up before they start the hard work in a training session.  Until each athlete knows their own body well, you will have to set the same warm up for everyone.

Warm up number 1

This is the traditional warm up used by British Rowing clubs

  • Arms only rowing (20 strokes)
  • Arms and body rowing
  • Quarter slide
  • Half slide
  • Three quarter slide
  • Full slide
  • Square blades (may be done from the start)
  • Pressure increases as the athlete warms up until they are at low rating firm pressure.
