Aug 17: Join me for a 25-minute rowing workout to reset, refocus and get back on track. You’ll get an easy low-intensity row, simple technique cues and a rhythm you can just settle into.
I’m doing 21 minutes of continuous rowing + a 4-minute cool-down, followed by stretching. Match my stroke rate and move with me, or adjust the effort to suit what you need today — this works on any rowing machine.
One thing I’ve discovered from actually rowing along to my own videos is how useful it is to have somebody else setting the rhythm. I can switch off a little, drive when they drive, recover when they recover, and let the workout happen rather than constantly thinking about it.
And that fits today’s bigger message perfectly: things get in the way.
Illness, injury, work, family — sometimes even motivation. Your plans may need to change, but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. I’ve had to back off my own training recently, so today I’m resetting, recalibrating and moving forward again.
If you need exactly the same thing, get on your rower and do it with me.
