Today is 21 minutes of low-intensity rowing followed by a 4 minute cool down.
But rather than simply watching the numbers, I want you to pay attention to what’s happening inside the stroke.
Can you feel your fingers take the load as the handle connects?
Are your arms staying straight while the legs start the drive?
Can you feel your feet pushing into the machine?
Is your posture putting you in a strong position at the catch?
And can you connect that leg power through your body and into the handle?
This isn’t about obsessing over perfect technique. It’s about becoming more aware of what your body is doing.
Because once you can feel when you’re pulling early, losing posture or disconnecting the legs, you’ve got something you can actually work on.
And that matters whether you’re trying to row faster, improve your fitness, burn calories or simply get more from the time you spend on the machine.
