RowAlong - Indoor Rowing Workouts
30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 3 - MAX Intensity
•
I'm re-uploading these to help anyone doing the November challenges.
A great standalone MAX EFFORT rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 3rd Day of the series
Boy is this 30 minute row Spicy! 1 minute full-on efforts followed by 2 minutes recovery - ten times.
🚣This row gets the red chilli, as it's a TOP Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️
➔Pace Guide = 2 minutes soft = around 2K+30 - 1 minute HARD = Around 2k-5
➔Effort = Soft = 3/10 - Hard = 10/10
➔Speech = Comfortable - then gasping for air.
- This row is all about the 1 minute efforts. I'd usually programme this as 1 minute with 2 minutes total rest. And for me, the lack of complete rest showed very early on. My aim was 2K-5 - but between the lack of rest, the tough bike ride the night before, and the fact I talk all the way through - my bag of excuses for not hitting the pace was full!!! *

30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 24 - Low Intensity
54:15|This 30 minute row is over before you know it due to the short intervals.🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️Change every two minutes from 18/20/22/20/18 strokes per minute➔Pace Guide = 2K + 20/18/15/18/20 x 3➔Effort = 5-6/10➔Speech = Heart rate will be up, breathing harder, but ok to speak❗ This is back to Day 10 of the workouts, as I'm going to repeat some of the best ones as we draw to a close. Work on your technique, and the slight increase in push you need from your legs to increase your stroke rate and pace.❗00:00 Introduction02:50 Warmup08:18 RowAlong Workout39:11 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.
30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 23 - MAX Intensity
50:42|2 Minute slow - 1 minute FAST x 10 = MAX EFFORT ROW!🚣TOP Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️Row 2 minutes easy, then 1 minute at 30spm and 2K pace or better - repeat 10 times. When you get halfway, crank up the pace if you can. ➔Pace Guide = Paddle (around 2K+ 40-50) then 2K pace➔Effort = 5/10 then 10/10➔Speech = Surprisingly, not to bad as it's just 60 seconds of hard effort at a time❗ This is about using your legs to push the pace up for you. With only 60 seconds x 10 through this workout, your cardio system may not be on fire, but if you're going hard enough - your legs WILL be. Strive to go faster than your 2K pace towards the second half of the workout - but don't do it right from the start if you think it'll mean you need to limp to a finish❗00:00 Introduction02:27 Warmup07:34 RowAlong Workout38:16 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.
30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 22 - LOW Intensity
55:05|Make a low stroke rate row a challenge by covering the pace on your monitor🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️Row 30 minutes at 20 strokes per minute. Either row it at 2K+18-20 pace, or cover the monitor, and row how hard you think you should row to hit this pace. Use the force! ➔Pace Guide = Start at 2K+18-20 (hopefully!)➔Effort = 5 or 6/10 ➔Speech = Out of breath a bit, but comforttable❗ Covering the monitor is really just to give this a bit of an added challenge, as 30 minutes at 20spm isn't exactly a firework show of a row. But it's a good challenge for your consistency across this simple row.❗00:00 Introduction02:01 Warmup07:29 RowAlong Workout38:50 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.
30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 21 - MID Intensity
53:33|Get a great rowing workout by rowing up and down stroke rates, then finishing with a FAST LAST🚣MID Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️4 minute intervals at 18/22/24/26/24/22/18spm - with a 2 minute 28spm on the end➔Pace Guide = Start at 2K+20-22 then increase 5/3/3 seconds with the stroke rate increases (then decrease) finish at 28spm and 2K+5 or faster➔Effort = 5/10 to 8/10 ➔Speech = Comfortable, then a bit tough - then comfortable again - then a lot tougher!❗ The 4 minute intervals make this a really quick feeling workout - and the 2 minute 'chaser' on the end just takes this into a perfect workout. It's not a top tier max effort, but you'll be working hard, and the endorphin pay-off at the end when you row fast is amazing!❗00:00 Introduction02:46 Warmup07:38 RowAlong Workout38:42 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.
30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 20 - Low/Mid Intensity
53:00|Start slow then increase pace as you row for 4 3 2 1 minutes 3 times, going through 18/20/22/24spm🚣BOTTOM or MID Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️➔Pace Guide = Start at 2K+20-22 then increase 2/3/3 seconds with the stroke rate increases. Reset to 2K+20-22 for the 18spm again➔Effort = 5/10 to 7/10 ➔Speech = Comfortable, then a bit tough - then comfortable again❗ Although the 24spm is a bit more intense than a usual Bottom Tier row, because it's only 1 minute long, and then back into the 18spm, it shouldn't push you too hard. The main reason for the 4/3/2/1 is to make the time fly past. How you start the row will dictate the intensity. Keep it easy (+22/24) for a LOW intensity row, but if you start at +20 - it's likely to feel more like a MID intensity on my Pyramid.❗00:00 Introduction02:40 Warmup08:02 RowAlong Workout39:22 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.
30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 19 - Medium Intensity
51:38|A great standalone HARD rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 19th Day of the series. Split the 30 minutes into 6 minute chunks (with no rest) and row at 18/22/26/22/18spm🚣MID Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️➔Pace Guide = 2K+20 / 15 / 10 / 15 / 20➔Effort = 5/10 to 8/10 ➔Speech = Comfortable, then tough, should end ok again❗ The rise through the rate and pace in this pyramid will increase your intensity for this row so you'll need to push to keep going. But before it gets too much, you'll go down the other side of the pyramid. The 22 and 18's won't be as easy as they were on the way up, but you'll feel the intensity back off as you come to a close.❗00:00 Introduction02:23 Warmup07:05 RowAlong Workout38:21 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.
30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 18 - Low Intensity
53:25|A great standalone FITNESS BOOSTING rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 18th Day of the series. Row the 30 minutes at 18spm at 2K+20-22 pace, but every 5 minutes, take 5 power strokes🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️➔Pace Guide = 2K+20-22➔Effort = 5/10 (push as hard as possible on the 5 power strokes)➔Speech = Comfortable, even with the power strokes❗ Why the power strokes? Just to make it a bit more interesting. This workout is best done at 2K+20-22 the whole way - but unless you love that workout, it can be a bit tedious. So as a reward for getting through 5 minutes at a time, you get to push hard for 5 strokes (still at 18spm though). ❗00:00 Introduction02:15 Warmup08:15 RowAlong Workout39:16 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.
30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 17 - MAX Intensity
52:29|A great standalone MAX EFFORT rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 17th Day of the series. Start easy, and end up at MAX on the Intensity Pyramid by increasing rate and pace. 🚣15 / 10 / 5 mins intervals with no rest!🚣‍♀️➔Pace Guide =15mins at 20spm / 2K+ 18 10mins at 24spm / 2K+12 5 mins at 28spm / 2K+5 or faster➔Effort = Starts at 5/10 - ends at 10/10➔Speech = Comfortable - then gasping for air by the end! ❗ This one sneaks up on you. The easy start soon gets the edges knocked off by hitting the 24spm - and when the 28spm comes along, you should be hanging on until the end! ❗00:00 Introduction01:46 Warmup06:29 RowAlong Workout37:39 Cooldown and time to stretch while I sign off.
30 Days of 30 Minute Rows - Row 16 - LOW Intensity
