64. There's More to Rowing Than Going Faster | Row Along Workout
47:48||Season 5, Ep. 64There's more to rowing than chasing faster times! Come join me for today's 25 minute RowAlong workout as we settle into some comfortable, low-intensity indoor rowing and have a chat about why getting on the rowing machine can be about so much more than performance.We start with a few technique reminders, because whether you're training for a race or simply rowing to stay healthy, getting your body into the right positions helps you make the most of every stroke. Good technique isn't just about going faster. It's about getting a great workout from the effort you're putting in.But today's conversation takes a more personal turn as I talk about how exercise has helped me through some difficult times, particularly during lockdown, and why having a regular training routine has become such an important part of looking after both my physical and mental wellbeing.There's also a bit of a reality check about those dramatic 30-day fitness transformations you see online. Real progress takes time, and sometimes the biggest benefit of exercise isn't something you can measure on a monitor or see in a photograph.Of course, there's plenty of the usual RowAlong waffle along the way, and I probably share rather more about myself than I intended!So whether you're working towards a rowing goal, maintaining your fitness or simply fancy some company while you exercise, jump on your machine and come row with me.MORE ROWALONG DAILY WORKOUTS:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8ookhrQKwvKEfSfOxp73vX02j8LrtUilCHAPTERS00:00 – Welcome!
