Just 20 minutes rowing every day WILL make a difference. Follow along with me in this indoor rowing workout on my Concept2 - and get those fitness benefits for yourself. Come back every day to stick to your routine.

But here's the truth: missing one day doesn't mean you've failed. I'm rowing 5K daily throughout 2026 - and you can join me. This easy Tuesday follow-along workout is here whenever you're ready to show up again - no judgment, just rowing.

The workout:

• 21 minutes of rowing at an easy, conversational pace
• Around 19-20 strokes per minute
• Keep rowing while I keep talking if you need more time for your 5K.
• Perfect warm-up intensity (zone 2)

What you'll get:

✅ Easy cardio on your rowing machine - no pressure, just company

✅ Technique reminders: handle to sternum height, hands-posture-tilt sequence, pushing with straight arms

✅ Real talk about why missing one workout shouldn't derail your entire plan

✅ A peek at the ImmersUrow app running on my iPad (mountain lake views!)

✅ The story of how I met my wife 30 years ago - and love at first sight

Today's chat covers: The ImmersUrow app and its immersive mountain lake view, why "New Year, New You" is a cliché worth embracing as a springboard, but looking out for the the real danger of giving up when you miss a day of a fitness plan, why these daily rows exist for my own accountability as much as yours, and the sweet story of meeting my wife in a nightclub 30 years ago when her first words were "it took you long enough..."

The philosophy: "The important thing is that just because something has got in the way it doesn't derail you... the most dangerous thing is when you commit to a plan and you get a couple of weeks into it and something gets in the way. Then because you missed a day there is a tendency to just go 'oh well that's it, that failed' and then you stop." Part of the reason I'm making these is to hold myself accountable to a similar routine - and when you see them pop up in your feed, maybe they'll remind you: "oh yeah, that's what I meant to be doing."

Pro tip for technique lovers: I waited until the end to talk about technique today (not like me!). Skip to [TIMESTAMP] if you want a quick technique refresher before you start rowing.

Row at your own pace - you might finish your 5K before me or after me. The point is just to get 21-22 minutes of rowing in your body. If you finish early, cool down. If you need more time, I prattle on for a couple of minutes at the end.

Pro tip: Start rowing during my intro if you need more time to complete your 5K!

Follow along with me for stroke rate and technique cues. You should be able to talk most of the way through - I sure could!
