Rowing, by it’s very nature, is a smooth, rhythmic movement. When coaching novices and other rowers, I often tell them to picture sea grass that sways back and forth with the ebb and flow of the water’s currents. The grass moves in unison, is relaxing to watch and it bends at the same place every time with minimal movement.

While the human body is more complex when it rows, the same concepts apply. Rowing champ Xeno Muller blogged about an instructional video that breaks down the correct rowing movement in all its stages. What’s cool about it, is that it is all done with a simple stick figure so that you can focus on what’s important. Here is a link to the original three + minute video on YouTube

For any rower who rows sweep style, I highly recommend giving this a couple viewings.
