Answer 1

If your goal is to start rowing the best way to train for this sport is too row.  If you are a member of a gym they should have a rowing machine.  Incorporate that into your workout and it will increase your cardiovascular endurance in rowing.  If you are interested in further developing the muscles used in rowing add a strength training regimen specific to these muscles.

Upper Body

Bicep curls

Upright row

Deadlift

Core exercises (abs)

Lower Body

Leg press

Calf raises

To prevent injury and creating a disproportionate body image also incorporate the opposing joint action of these exercises.  Triceps extensions, hamstring curls, bench press, etc.  Also, be sure  to stretch after exercising.  It helps prevent injuries and makes you stronger.

I wrote this quick and hope I could help you.  Also, search the internet for for sport specific exercises.  There are several websites that can help you tremendously.  Keep up the good work and good luck rowing.

I will usually take a large bag full of at least 6 pairs of granny panties and swing them around screaming "She Loves It"
