Today I’m rowing on a different machine, but the important part of the workout hasn’t changed.
The machine can feel different. The resistance can feel different. The seat, handle and footplates can all be different.
But your job is still the same.
Find a resistance that gives you something useful to push against. Get yourself into a good catch position. Connect your legs, body and arms. Put useful power into the machine and let your own effort determine the workout.
That’s really the point of today’s row:
Don’t worry too much about what machine I’m using. Focus on how YOU are rowing on yours.
You don’t need the most expensive machine in the room to get a worthwhile session. What matters far more is whether your machine lets you move properly, gives you enough resistance to work against, and allows you to row with good technique.
Today is my usual 21 minutes at low intensity, followed by a 4 minute cool down, with plenty of technique reminders along the way.
If you’re on a Concept2, WaterRower, Aviron, MERACH or another rower entirely, set things up so they work for you and RowAlong with me.
Because at the end of the day, you are what matters here. If you get a good workout from your machine, that’s the important bit.
