Fix This First: Rhythm – The Most Common Beginner Mistake in Rowing (Part 1) – aramtraining – sustainable competitive rowing training, online and offline, beginners and professionals

When you’re just starting out in rowing, it’s easy to focus on building strength or pushing harder every session. But before anything else, there’s one skill you must master: Rhythm.

In the first episode of our new series on the most common beginner mistakes in rowing, Aram teams up with Charley to break down what rowing rhythm actually means—and why so many people struggle with it.

Far too often, beginners focus on power output, forgetting that rowing is a sport of timing, coordination, and flow. Without rhythm, even the strongest stroke won’t move the boat efficiently or safely.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ What rowing rhythm really is (and what it’s not)
✅ The most common rhythm mistakes beginners make
✅ Simple drills to help you feel the rhythm
✅ How correct rhythm reduces injury risk and boosts performance

We filmed this session on the @BIOROWER PRO, the most advanced indoor rowing machine built to replicate on-water biomechanics while protecting your back.
