The Rower Workout A is a home workout designed specifically for Rowing Athletes. Rowing Athletes need a fair amount of strength and a lot of upper body muscular endurance. This is a well rounded home workout that includes training the upper and lower body with a focus on the upper back. This workout will work well for almost anyone trying to increase general fitness as well especially since a lot of people have weaknesses in the upper back muscles. The Rower Workout A is made to be alternated with Rower Workout B on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I also recommend that you include 2 or 3 additional days of light to moderate cardio on your off days. If you’re a training Rowing Athlete then you’re general training and conditioning workouts will most likely be enough without the additional cardio.
