Fancy a 25 minute rowing workout where you can build fitness, work on technique and have some company along the way? That’s pretty much exactly what today’s RowAlong turns into.

Today is the usual 21 minutes of low-intensity rowing followed by a 4 minute cool down.
Nothing frantic. No chasing numbers. No need to turn every stroke into a test.
Just useful aerobic work, plenty of technique reminders… and, admittedly, rather a lot of talking.
Actually, that becomes part of today’s theme.
Someone recently commented that one of my videos had “too much talking.”
Fair point.
I do talk. A lot.
But one of the replies made me smile, because they said that’s exactly why they enjoy these workouts — the talking keeps them company.
And really, that’s what RowAlong has always been about.
I’m not standing beside you shouting numbers.
I’m on the machine too.
I’m rowing, thinking about my own technique, wandering off into stories, occasionally ranting, then somehow finding my way back to rowing again.
And while all of that is happening, we’re still getting the work done.
Today we also spend a fair bit of time on the finish of the stroke — getting the elbows through the sides, using the bigger muscles of the back and keeping the power connected all the way through.
So if you want a straightforward rowing workout you can follow without staring at a timer in silence, jump on the machine and come row with me.
There may be talking.
Quite a lot of it.
