Row Along: 25 Mins Easy Rowing + The RowAlong story continues

Join me for this easy 25-minute steady state rowing workout designed to build fitness without the burnout.

Not to hit a distance target — the "5K" is just a clever title, really. What matters is getting around 21-26 minutes of good, easy rowing into your body. If you finish before me, cool down.
