Erg Warmup with Philip Doyle

Hop on your erg, and get ready to row with an erg warmup video where Philip discusses setting yourself up on the erg, feet height, drag factor, warmup drills, handle height, what he pays attention to while warming up, ratio, and more! Warming up before a workout is crucial to get yourself ready to perform at your best, and avoid injury. Warming up increases your heart rate and therefore your blood flow. This enables more oxygen to reach your muscles. A warmup also activates and primes the connections between your nerve and muscles, which improves the efficiency of movement. So, how do you get ready for an erg workout or rowing on the water? Follow along with Philip Doyle, as he takes us through his warmup on the erg!
