❗ Burn some calories over the Holiday Season by rowing along with me in this 12 Rows of Christmas series. You don't have to do 12 days in a row - just fit them in when you can. ❗

The first 5 minutes is a good start for you to settle into the rhythm and get your technique locked in - then 3 minutes you push a LOT harder with the legs to get the rate and pace up. The intensity of that 3 minutes will get tougher for each interval. In the final interval, if you want to REALLY push and row as hard as you can (keep to the 24 stroke rate though) - then please do!

🚥You can use Ergzone to program your Concept 2 PM5 monitor, look for 12 Rows - Day 1 under the RowAlong track which has the main session pre-programmed. I've not programmed in the Warmup and Cooldown however, so you'll need to add them in yourself (I have some on the track, with the label "Bookmark These" so you can just bookmark them for future use) 🚥
