Whether you're a complete beginner or an Olympic athlete, our training information covers all requirements, irrespective of age or fitness. Everyone is always looking for ways to improve their training, or help them get the most out of the time they have for exercising.

We have advice for anyone undertaking a structured training programme either for the first time, or after a long period of inactivity. This is particularly important for those managing their weight and anyone who may have health problems.

These are the training questions we get asked the most:

• How do I set up a training programme?
  
• What workouts should I do to train for the 2000 meter race?
• How can I manage my weight by rowing?
• How should I use rowing for cross training?
• What stretches should be done before rowing?

This training section is designed to answer these questions, and a few more. We'll show you how to get started, give you helpful workout suggestions and provide more advanced training information.
There are training programmes to download and by using our online ranking you can compare your times for your age group to other rowers from around the world.
