The Erg Book: 375+ of the Greatest Indoor Rowing Workouts of All Time

A good range of workouts. Good for formulating a progressive plan if you know how to structure your training.

Excellent ergo book - couple of reasons:I've been rowing for some time (water and ergo) and struggled to find a clear and simple explanation of the correct stroke to make sure I'm doing it right but also explain to others - it's really clear and concise, with a lighter approach than the more formal books in circulation - only thing I would add is make sure the handle is over your knees before coming up the slide!Also, the workouts themselves are a revelation - I was getting soooo bored of the ergo that it was putting me off training - I've done about 10 or so workouts, all completely different - all the workouts are graded with a 'pain' rating, what kind of workout you will get (AN, TR etc), split into beginnner, intermediate and expert, and very helpfully how long each workout will take - I have limited time in the mornings so this is great.The book also has an example 2K and 6k (heads) 14 week example workout - it tells you what type of exercise to do for each day and leaves it for you to choose out of all the options NB you need to set a 2K and 6k time early doors as most of the workouts are based off these threshold splitsOnly request would be to have a few more examples for the unimaginative amongst us, e.g. 3 workouts a week (although strictly speaking that's covered as the book recommends replacing some of the O2 workouts with something else e.g. running, cycling etc)All in all, a great buy and would strongly recommend

A very clear and informative book. Plenty of exercise suggestions to suit all abilities and it doesn't have to stop there, it allows an individual to be creative.

i have been following this book for the months of lock down. As a complete novice with no coaching, I finally got a 7:55 2k purely from this book and watching youtube videos.the book has tips and plenty of workouts to change things up. With this book, I fell in love with the ERG

I bought this as a gift for someone. As a newcomer to the world of rowing this is a fantastic book with lots of great information and workouts. I have to say it kept him quiet for ages so definitely worth the money

This delivers exactly what the title suggests - more than 375 different workout suggestions, from pretty straightforward to some that are absolutely brutal. All are rated on a scale to tell you just how hard they ought to feel, and categorised by their main objectives (against headings covering speed, power and cardio which will be familiar to ergers). The introduction gives some helpful tips on technique and on how to use the book and the final chapter includes some useful, non-erg, core exercises. A few pounds well spent.

Umpteen drills and workouts to follow-will take years to get through it-if I'm spared!

Fantastic book! The exercises range from nice and easy to ones that try and destroy you (a chllenge!). Well written, with a bit of humour, i absolutly recommend it to beginners through to those that have been rowing since the Vikings came over
