Off Season Training
- November and December Optional (School becomes the focus)
- January to March
- Mandatory weekly fitness training
- Includes Circuit training, Weight training and Core work and Erg work
- Strength and Conditioning training is an individualized program emphasizing muscular endurance, not intensity and bulk. As a rower, we want athletes to be strong from head to toe. With weight training, core work, circuit training, and the erg, we have a balance of muscular endurance and cardio.
The Ergometer training along with your other off season training, allows you to maintain your rowing flexibility and cardio conditioning from the fall season
The following is an example of one week of winter training for the UOIT Rowing Program:
UOIT Rowing Training Plan – January 31, 2011 to February 6, 2011

These Indoor Regattas are a great opportunity to compete with your rowing opponents from other universities
