RowAlong – Indoor Rowing Machine Workouts

May 15: When Should You Row? (And How to Combine It with Everything Else)


Listen Later

The Friday one. The one where we figure out when this row actually fits into your life — morning buy-in, lunch break, last thing at night — and whether you should row before or after your weights session. Plus the "skill points" analogy that changes how you think about mixing cardio and strength.


21 minutes at 5 out of 10 effort. Low intensity, low stroke rate, zone two heart rate. Or as I like to call it: four cats out of three dogs.
