Rowing Cool-Down Routine
A rowing cool-down routine uses easy meters and light stretching after hard erg sessions to gradualize heart rate and reduce next-day leg heaviness.
A rowing cool-down routine is easy rowing after hard intervals or tests to flush lactate and lower heart rate gradually—often eight to twelve minutes at low stroke rate. Add gentle hamstring and hip flexor stretches if tightness is common.
Stopping abruptly after maximal pieces can leave legs heavy the next day.
Common questions
-
Is a cool-down required after steady rowing?
Long easy sessions need less than maximal tests, but five to eight easy minutes still helps transition before sitting at a desk.
