SETTING UP A WORKOUT
To set up a workout for individual distances, times or stroke counts or to set up intervals including rest periods, tap “Trainings” from the home screen of the App. This will take you to the stored workouts you have already created or give you the option to create new ones.
To create a new workout tap “+ Create A Training” in the top right corner of the screen. From this display you can add varying or repeating intervals or a combination of both.
The example below shows a workout created for a set of six 500 metre sprints with two minutes of rest and includes a 10 minute warm up and a 5 minute cool down.
​
Remember to give your workout a name so you can easily differentiate it in the “Trainings” menu.
After you have created your workout, simply tap on it and start rowing to begin it.
