May 18: Rowing Machine Workout: Best Shoes & Gloves to Wear — 25 Min Row Along

from RowAlong – Indoor Rowing Machine Workouts

What shoes should you wear on a rowing machine? Do you even need rowing gloves? This 25-minute follow-along rowing machine workout doubles as Review Week — while we row at a nice low intensity, I'm talking through the best shoes for rowing (spoiler: Converse are hard to beat), whether barefoot rowing works, and what to look for in gloves if you're getting blisters.The first 10 minutes are all about rowing technique — handle release, posture reset, leg drive, arm pull, the lot. Then we get into the gear chat. So whether you're here for the technique, the shoe advice, or just to row along with some company, you're in the right place.Don't Row Alone, Row Along 🖖⏱ CHAPTERS0:00 — Let's Get Started1:05 — Machine Setup2:52 — Warm-up5:52 — Rowing Technique Breakdown16:45 — Best Shoes for Rowing23:52 — Rowing Gloves: Do You Need Them?31:15 — Cool-down & Stretch🔎 This is a RowAlong Daily Workout — Review Week #1Low stroke rate, zone 2 intensity, all ages, any rowing machine.#rowingmachine #rowingworkout #rowalong #rowingtechnique #indoorrowing #concept2 #bestshoesforrowingmachine☕ Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rowalong🔔 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/@rowalong?sub_confirmation=1➡️ Become a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/rowalongCHAT WITH ME!===============================👥 - FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rowalong/ - WEBSITE: https://www.rowalong.comBut seriously - just keep watching, that's all I ask!! 🔵🔵🔵This workout is provided as usual WITHOUT MUSIC.
