  • 12 Rows of Christmas - 12 x 5 minutes - 60 Minute Rowing Workout

    01:20:50|
    Row for 60 minutes, changing stroke rate and pace every 5 minutes.🚣A MID INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️Although the pace and rate is mostly in the LOW intensity range, due to the duration of this row, the total workout lies in the MIDDLE of the pyramid.Change stroke rate though 18/20/22/24/18/20/22/24/18/20/22/24➔Pace Guide: 18spm at 2K+20-24 20spm 2 seconds faster than 18spm22spm 2-3 seconds faster than 20spm24spm 2-3 seconds faster than 22spm➔Effort = 5-8/10 (It will drift up through the hour)➔Speech = Should be ok. Maybe a little tough in the 24's❗ You'll see from the pace guide that there's a large starting range. Depending on how your energy levels are sitting, that's where you start. Tired? Start at +24 - Lots of energy? Start at 2K+20. Each time you go back to 18spm, assess how you feel and adjust that starting pace if neccessary. ❗
  • 12 Rows of Christmas - 11 x 45 seconds - Rowing machine workout - rowalong

    44:28|
    Sprint for 45 seconds - 11 times, with 1 minute rest between each row🚣A TOP/MAX INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️Due to the intensity of this row, the warm up is 10 minutes long.➔Pace Guide: Faster than Row 7. Aim for between 2K-5 and 2K-8➔Effort = 10/10➔Speech = Don't try - just breathe!❗ Control is still the key here. I do this at around 34 strokes per minute, so a really high stroke rate, but not so high that I've lost control. And then it's all about pushing as hard as you can with your legs to get the pace up.❗45 seconds should mean you can get the pace high right to the end, especially with the 60 second rest between each interval. At the end of the row, while I say goodbye, I've put up the basic stretches that I do when I've finished rowing.
  • 12 Rows of Christmas - 10 Power Fives - RowAlong workout

    46:47|
    Do a 30 minute row - but every 3 minutes, take 5 Power Strokes.🚣A BOTTOM INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️➔Pace Guide: Most of the row: 18spm at 2K+20 pace (see below for 2K pace info) ➔Effort = 5-6/10➔Speech = Comfortable❗ Hold 18 Strokes Per minute the whole way through this row - and stick to the low intensity 2K+20 pace. But every 3 miinutes, take 5 power storkes - push as hard as you can with your legs, and see if you can get the pace a lot faster. If your legs are feeling it after Row 9 - that's ok, just get a couple of seconds faster. But if you're quite fresh - push hard, and see if you can get 10 seconds faster pace through these power strokes. ❗At the end of the row, while I say goodbye, I've put up the basic stretches that I do when I've finished rowing.
  • 12 Rows of Christmas - 9 Minute Trilogy - RowAlong workout

    52:59|
    Row 3 x 9 minute intervals with 3 minute rests🚣A MID/HARD INTENSITY WORKOUT on the Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️➔Pace Guide: 20 strokes per minute at 2K+10-12 (see below for 2K pace info) ➔Effort = 7-8/10➔Speech = Getting tough❗ Remember, MID intensity isn't easy - this is about putting you into a place of discomfort and then needing to push through it - this is a HARD (but not maximum) row. ❗All of the 20spm rowing we've been doing through this series has been leading up to this - pushing the pace faster than usual for 20spm. Hopefully you've got the technique and groove right for pushing in the power. Remember - keep that forward tilt, and arms straight as you drive out with the legs. Only when you're half way through the leg drive should you swing over your hips and then pull in your arms. At the end of the row, while I say goodbye, I've put up the basic stretches that I do when I've finished rowing.
