🌨 So it snowed heavily this morning, which left me again run-less, but thanks to the whole discussion about my quandary of how to balance running, yoga AND rowing, I have now a weekly routine in my mind with an average weekly schedule looking like:
- Yoga, Pilates, etc every day (ca 20 - 35 min)
- 2 short runs ca 5k and 1 long run (increasing to 10k, e.g. magic Plan)
- 1 rowing session per week
BUT
- replace any runs not run with rowing sessions
😃 So that meant today I didn’t even feel guilty replacing my run with a row! Tadaa! 🤗
🚣♀️ And of course it meant I progressed on my Conqueror English Channel Rowing Challenge. Halfway, already!
🖍📔And thus after warming up with a gentle row (also a recommendation) I chose a row that got me to focus back on the basics.
Dark Horse Rowing (18 min) The PERFECT Beginners Rowing Workout: BETTER Setup
📆 I’ve rowed now on and off for a couple of years but I still feel a bit like a beginner, never having had anyone tell me in detail what a good style is. So this short workout session was perfect in understanding those (to me) mythical notions of
- pushing with legs, not pulling with arms
- 3 contact point check (feet, seat, handle, feet)
- Legs, body, arms - arms, body, legs
So this was a good one to check into.
⏳ Also, my normal rowing workout is 20 min (reviewed here healthunlocked.com/strength... ) so having this 10 min session as an alternative is great.
So for those with rowers, happy rowing!
