Struggling with fitness motivation? Can you commit to 20 minutes indoor rowing every day? I'm rowing 5K daily throughout 2026 - and you can join me. This easy Monday morning follow-along workout proves showing up consistently beats pushing yourself to exhaustion.

The workout:

Row for 21minutes at an easy, conversational pace

Around 19-20 strokes per minute

Perfect warm-up intensity (zone 2)

What you'll get:

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

✅ Technique reminders: posture reset, handle away sequence, pushing with your legs

✅ Real talk about New Year fitness advertising and why you don't need expensive apps

✅ Chat about upcoming workouts, training philosophy, and why consistency matters more than intensity

Today's chat covers: The first 5K Every Day row of 2026 after the Christmas break, technique focus on sitting up and pushing the machine away with straight arms, why time in the saddle builds your fitness more than fancy programs, my upcoming "12th Day of Christmas" workout (a spicy intervals session), and an honest rant about fitness apps trying to grab your money in January when free coaching is right here.

The philosophy: You don't need to pay for faceless apps. Time on the rowing machine, focusing on power from your legs, and understanding technique - that's what improves your rowing. I'm a product of training, nothing more. I'm not an elite rower anymore, but I'm proof that consistent work gets results.

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!
