For all Indoor rowing warming up your body is essential to getting the most out of your workout. Knowing your own body and how you warm up best will help you plan and prepare for racing and fitness training.
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.
