All of the above will help you to learn new skills and use different movements, biomechanics and energy systems. This can only be a good thing, particularly if you have rowed for a long time and need a lift up to the next level. Alternative training for rowing will help you stay mentally fresh, help you stay physically balanced (thus hopefully preventing injury), and provide you with a new skill set to apply in adapting to changing rowing conditions, challenges and goals.
In Winter 2019, custom rowing training plans will be launched at rowingworkouts.org. This will be a new section, focusing specifically on cross training workouts that will compliment and support your general rowing program. Running, Cycling, Nordic and Weight training workouts will be added.
