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.
CAUTION
Always consult a doctor before beginning an exercise program.
Stop immediately if you feel faint or dizzy.
