One of the things that i think is important about how people warm up on the water is whether which sequence they use their body now you'll find a lot of times not here at penrith because it's pretty warm today but when you're out on the river training and sometimes it's quite cold particularly in some climates then the issue that you'll find is that if you have half the crew warm up before the other half then someone's going to get cold out there and it's better off not doing that i'd strongly suggest that what you do when you're warming up then you make sure if you're warming up on the water you can warm up on the land before you get onto the water that's always a good idea but if you're going to warm up on the water only then what i suggest you do is get them onto the water get as many people in the boat rowing at once as you can if balance is an issue then make sure you have say two people balance the boat and you can move those two around within the boat for example within an eight you can just move it up and down the boat the other thing when you're doing the warm-up i suggest that you watch the piece of footage following where you can see the australian eights warming up and as you can see when they warm up with their body and arms only they don't just use their arms they use their bodies as well to avoid encouraging people to take the catch with their arms and so important to not take the catch with your arms so in order to keep your technique right i suggest that you go straight into if you need to arms and bodies rowing but probably more desirable would be armed body quarter slide rowing so you encourage the right sequence of movements so watch these couple of bits of video and i hope they're useful
hello guys i'm david milne from plc perth um i met ken davey on the 2010 uh junior tour to the czech republic uh we're in the junior team so i had the uh the coxed 4 and he had the quad uh just letting you know with the warm up we would tend to do a about a five to ten minute land warm-up first uh followed by uh hitting the water and going to uh full length at about 60% weight for about 60 to 70 strokes and then going back through the warm-up of uh arms and swing quarter slide half slide uh we think that that focuses more on getting the body a bit warmed up and then making the the shorter sections of the warm-up the arms and swing and the quarter slide and so on are more technical um quite often in perth we have a the girls row during the winter season so although most people think perth is pretty is pretty warm there are some pretty quite cold mornings and we tend to uh when we hit the water there we'll make sure that we uh warm up as a full crew um my philosophy on that is that we do do a lot in small boats as well pairs and singles so we're uh we're capable of balancing the boat during that warm-up no worries so we get we get on the water and we make sure we go for about probably uh three or four minutes at full slide there um and then we'll back off back through those other sections of the warm up but i don't have a problem with them warming up as a full eight i don't worry about the we're four four sitting there balancing the boat we're capable of doing that as during the sectional warm-up and also the uh the full-length warm-up
