How Often

• Begin with 5 minute training sessions once a day and aim for around 2:30 to 2:45 for 500m time. Row at a pace that
keeps the water circulating continuously between strokes.
• Progress a few minutes more each day until you are comfortable with 30-45 minutes training time 3 or 4 times a
week.
• This will provide aerobic endurance benefits, muscle toning and sufficient calorie burning to form part of a weight
loss program.
WARNING: Always consult a doctor before beginning an exercise program. Stop immediately if you feel faint
or dizzy.
