12 Rows of Christmas 2025 - 2 Easy 12's

Workout #2 in the Time to Sleigh Rowing Workouts series: Two Easy Twelves.Two 12-minute blocks at 20 strokes per minute, both at low intensity (5/10 RPE). This is active recovery and aerobic base building — intentionally easy rowing positioned between yesterday's time trial and tomorrow's intense session.🎄 WHAT YOU'LL DO:✅ 12 minutes @ 20spm (Low Intensity - 5/10 RPE / conversational pace)✅ 1 minute rest (grab a drink, reset)✅ 12 minutes @ 20spm (Low Intensity - 5/10 RPE / conversational pace)✅ Total: 24 minutes of steady workThis should feel EASY — you could hold a conversation at this pace. Focus on smooth, controlled strokes with good technique. Don't push the pace. The goal is to accumulate time on the erg while giving your body a chance to recover from yesterday's maximum effort. Your legs might feel heavy initially — that's normal. Just keep the rhythm steady and let the aerobic work happen naturally.This is Workout 2 of 12. Warmup and cooldown separately.
