420 Chances to Enjoy Rowing | Easy 22 Min Follow Along Workout
from RowAlong – Indoor Rowing Machine Workouts
21 minutes at 20 strokes per minute means 420 chances to think about one thing — maybe keeping your arms straight, maybe not pulling too early, maybe just sitting up a bit taller. You don't need to nail all 420. Just notice a few.That's what this workout is. 22 minutes of easy rowing with me talking you through it. I row on a Concept2 at about 20 strokes a minute, conversational pace, nothing savage. You row on whatever machine you've got, at whatever pace works for you. If you finish before me, cool down. If you need longer, I keep going for a few extra minutes at the end. Don't row alone — RowAlong.Today I'm at Cassels Gym filming rowing workouts for MyRow, so I'm back on a standard Concept2 handle and treating this as my warm-up before a big afternoon session. I've got the ErgZone app running in the background showing my force curve live — and if you've ever wondered what your force curve should look like, I walk through what that steep front-end rise means, why a wobbly curve is the real problem, and what "smooth" actually looks like in practice.There's a full technique walkthrough around the nine-minute mark: handle away, sit up, tilt forward, bend knees (in that order), push with your legs, pull only at the back. Sternum height finish, flat wrists, elbows slightly out. I even make you repeat after me — "I shall not pull from the front."Post-row stretching from 28:11 — hamstrings, glutes, quads, forearms, shoulders. I nearly fell over the rowing machine during the quad stretch. A more professional person would edit that out. Not me.Row at your own pace. I talk technique, I talk nonsense, I stretch, I almost injure myself. That's the deal.#rowing #rowingmachine #concept2 #rowalong #followalong #rowingworkout #easycardio #homefitness #rowingtechnique #forcecurve Hosted on Acast.
