There'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!

Come join me for today's 25 minute Row Along workout as we settle into some comfortable, low-intensity indoor rowing and explore how a few simple adjustments can make a real difference.It's Monday, so I'm spending a bit more time on technique today.

Fancy doing something a little different with your rowing today? Jump on the machine for this 25 minute Row Along workout and let’s get moving, have a chat and see where the row takes us.👉 Full RowAlong Daily Workout playlist on Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8ookhrQKwvKEfSfOxp73vX02j8LrtUilToday is 21 minutes of easy rowing followed by a 4 minute cool down.And somewhere between rowing, spaghetti bolognese, garlic bread, cheesecake and my strange relationship with jam, I end up on a bit of a theme:Sometimes it’s worth giving something another go.There are things we decide we like.Things we decide we don’t like.And things we become completely convinced about without ever really questioning them again.Rowing can be like that too.Maybe you’ve always rowed a certain way.Maybe somebody once told you something was “right” or “wrong”.Maybe you tried something once, didn’t like it, and never went back.Today is just a reminder that it’s okay to stay curious.Try something.See how it feels.Keep it if it helps.Drop it if it doesn’t.Most importantly, enjoy the row while you’re doing it.So if you’ve got 25 minutes and a rowing machine, come join me.There’s useful fitness in here.There’s some rowing advice.And there’s a fairly unreasonable amount of discussion about food.Workout• 21 minutes easy rowing• 4 minute cool down• Low stroke rate• Comfortable aerobic effort• Plenty of chat along the wayChapters00:00 Friday, spag bol and rowing00:44 Today’s easy 21 + 4 workout01:03 Set your resistance02:16 Seat position03:30 Foot stretcher setup05:02 Handle grip05:35 Start rowing06:25 Ease into the row12:57 What happens when the rate rises?21:56 Which rowing machine should you use?31:52 Being certain you’re right33:26 The opposite of faith is certainty34:35 Tomatoes enter the conversation37:36 Garlic bread changes everything38:20 And then there was cheesecake...41:54 Three things I “knew” about myself42:10 The fourth one is jam43:55 What does any of this have to do with rowing?44:36 Some things probably are close to certain48:43 Keep trying things49:13 Why change can feel instantly better50:25 Sometimes the change isn’t the answer50:55 Yes... this became a rant⚠️ Health WarningPlease make sure you’re fit enough for exercise before taking part.

Get moving with this 25 minute follow along rowing workout and settle into a smooth, comfortable rhythm. We’ll build fitness, work on rowing technique and let the stroke gradually find its flow.👉 Full RowAlong Daily Workout playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8ookhrQKwvKEfSfOxp73vX02j8LrtUilToday is another 21 minutes of low intensity rowing followed by a 4 minute cool down.For me, these rows are my buy-in to the day.I get on the machine, get my body moving, loosen everything up and then let the rowing gradually come together rather than forcing it from the first stroke.And that becomes the main technique theme today too.As the body warms up, I concentrate on getting into the same strong position at the front of every stroke, connecting my feet and hands together, and letting the sequence flow:Legs → Body → ArmsThe interesting thing is that the pace starts improving without me deliberately trying to row harder.That’s the goal.Rather than fighting for a number, get the positions right, connect the stroke and let good rowing do the work.Then, as usual, my brain wanders off into Thursday nights in Glasgow, lottery-winning plans, DJing, meeting Julie and rather a lot more besides.So come row with me, get some useful fitness into the bank, work on your stroke and find your flow.Workout• 21 minutes low intensity rowing• 4 minute cool down• Low stroke rate• Comfortable aerobic effort• Technique and connection throughoutChapters00:00 Welcome to Thursday00:18 Managing your training load00:30 Today’s 21 + 4 workout00:42 My “buy-in” to the day01:00 Where these easy rows fit02:28 Set your resistance02:46 Legs first03:16 Seat position & posture04:06 Foot stretcher setup05:30 Handle grip06:20 Start rowing08:10 Ease your body into the stroke09:12 Find your flow09:43 Connect feet to hands10:12 Let technique create the pace11:32 Why consistency comes from technique13:04 Where I stop at the catch16:52 There’s more to technique than positions18:42 Let the stroke flow front to back21:44 Apparently I might stop talking technique22:01 Thursday nights in Glasgow23:56 How I quiet my brain24:09 Telling myself stories24:46 Every dream needs a starting point27:07 Student-night memories30:35 Love at first sight?37:38 The VERY long point of this story43:45 Would a RowAlong book work?46:00 Workout complete48:39 Tell someone what they mean to you⚠️ Health WarningPlease make sure you’re fit enough for exercise before taking part.
