No limits - indoor rowing explained

The Ergometer is a very important and useful option to train basic fitness and strength for professional and amateur rowers. Training on the Ergometer is a full body workout that keeps rowers motivated and focused during off season.

The 23 years old and new member of the BG rowing team senior squad, Alice Beats (GBR) shows the right technique and gives tips on how to use the ergometer. She took up rowing at Bangor University, and continued to develop her talent through the GB Rowing Team Start centre at Agecroft RC. She enjoyed great domestic success in 2016, winning the Senior 4x at Henley Women’s Regatta. In the same season she represented Wales at the Home International regatta in Cardiff, winning gold medals in the W1x and W4x. Olena Buryak (UKR) made headlines when she pulled 6:25.0 for 2000m (worldrecord) at February’s European Indoor Rowing Championships in Poland. “My goal is to row 100 kilometers under 6 hours”, Olena says.
