RowAlong - Indoor Rowing Workouts
RowAlong on the Amazon
RowAlong with me to help power a boat on the Amazon river, as I take you on a journey, telling you when to speed up and slow down as you row!
➡ We'll spend 4 minutes prepping and tuning the engines.
➡ Then prepare for a 10 minute row as we'll leave the dock and set sail down the Amazon, facing who knows what!
💫 14 minutes of rowing in total, and hopefully a fun distraction to keep you going through a short workout, no matter whether you're a new rower, a gym user looking for a distraction or a kid looking for some entertainment while rowing. 💫
❗❕❗❕ A mixture of easy, tempo and fast rowing to give you a good, but short workout. Always remember to keep as good a technique as you can when rowing. Push with the feet, forwards tilt and straight arms - and then pull in with arms only at the back half of the stroke! ❗❕❗❕
I hope you like this slight change to the usual chat I go through when making a Rowing Workout video for you to RowAlong to. After making a few 'new rower' videos, and 'gym user' videos - and then having a chat with a friend about how to keep people (especially kids) entertained on the rowing machine, but also giving them some kind of strucutre - it occured to me that maybe I could try this as an option.
Let me know if you like it - whether you're 10 or 40 - did it keep you entertained? Did you get a good workout from it?
I've got a lot more of these planned, so like all the rest of my videos - if you like 'em, I'll make 'em.
