Mar 27: 25 Min Easy Rowing Workout — Strapless, the RowAlong Origin Story & Why I'm the Problem | RowAlong

It's Friday — last one of the week for me, whenever you happen to be watching this. Today I'm rowing the whole session with my feet out of the straps, which is a lot more revealing than it sounds. We get into why strapless rowing is such a useful technique tool, what it actually forces your body to do, and what it exposes when your stroke has gremlins hiding in it.There's a proper technique thread running through the row today — sequencing legs and back, why doing both at once is less efficient than you'd think, how to use these low-intensity sessions to hardwire good habits so they show up automatically when you're going flat out.And then there's the story. Today the backstory arc arrives at the moment RowAlong actually became RowAlong — the name, the team, and a pattern I've started to notice about myself and the friendships that come and go around the chapters of my life. It's an honest one.Finishing up with a full stretch routine and a heads-up: I'm live on the EXR app Sunday morning at 9am GMT — remember the clocks change.Please consult your doctor or healthcare professional before beginning any new exercise programme, particularly if you have any existing health conditions or injuries.
