Starting rowing

I am looking to start rowing. I have never done it before, and I'm not the strongest person. I have been doing strong lifts 5x5 for the last month to try and change this.

Any advice or tips any one could give would be much appreciated. Am I on the correct program? What should I include in my workouts?

    Do you mean real rowing or using the rower/concept 2? there was an elite rower on here if its real rowing.

    Concept2 rower here - starting again after a very long break from rowing and from his site! But never been on water...but I would think you should start using the rowing machine at the gym to get the feel of it and knowing which muscles to work on.
