RowAlong – Indoor Rowing Machine Workouts

A great standalone FITNESS BOOSTING rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 12th Day of the series

5 minutes at 22spm gives you a good fitness building workout, then 1 minute at 15spm lets you work on technique - 5 times.

🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K+16-18 - don't stress pace for the 15s

➔Effort = 6/10

➔Speech = Comfortable

* 15spm is very achievable as long as you slow down the arms away, tilt over your body and then the knee bend. You don't need to stop and jerk - just slow down. The 22spm is here to make sure you still get a good workout from this row, with the 15's there for you to focus on your technique.***

I totally mess up the first set of 15s and then totally forget the last set! I'm a minute late on them. I'm such a pro.... 😄

A great standalone MAX EFFORT rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 11th Day of the series

10 x 1 minute sprints with 2 minute paddles in between will be over before you know it in this 30 minute fast rowing workout.

🚣TOP Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = Paddle 2 minutes - Sprint 1 minute x 10

➔Effort = 2/10 then 10/10

➔Speech = Comfortable then VERY hard.

* This is a re-run of Day 3's workout - except where last time, we tried to keep the pace at around 2K+30-40 - this time, if you want to stop and try to recover - do it. It's what I do in this workout, and the results compared to last week are very interesting.***

A great standalone FITNESS BOOSTING rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 10th Day of the series

30 minutes is over in a jiffy with this row - by breaking it down into 2 minute chunks and changing stroke rate.

🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

18/20/22/20/18spm x 3

➔Pace Guide = 2K+20/18/16/18/20

➔Effort = 5-6/10

➔Speech = Comfortable

* The 2 minutes really do make this one rocket past. At the slower rates, it gives a chance to think about body positions and technique - and the rate increase / decrease lets you work on controlling pace by using leg power.***

A great standalone HARD rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 9th Day of the series

Break up a 30 minute row by rowing 4mins 30 at 22spm then 30 seconds FAST (do this 6 times)

🚣MID Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K+16 (Then 30 seconds fast)

➔Effort = 7/10

➔Speech = Getting tough

* 22spm is just starting to climb out of the BOTTOM tier territory - but these 30 seconds fast (aim for 2K rate and pace) are what will take this into the MID intensity. It still won't be a TOP tier, but you'll have to put in some ooomf.***

A great standalone FITNESS BUILDING rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 8th Day of the series

Row 30 minutes at 20 strokes per minute. Add in some powerful strokes if you're feeling up to it.

🚣BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️ (with some added spice)

Row at 20spm / 2K+18 for 9:30 - then do 30 seconds of power strokes at 20spm (do this three times)

➔Pace Guide = 2K+18 (Then power strokes)

➔Effort = 5-6/10

➔Speech = Comfortable

* Only add in the power strokes if you feel like you've got the energy to do so. Session 7 may have been a tough one for you - so if you want to just stick to 2K+18 pace the whole way through to make sure you have a "Full bowl of power" going forwards, then please do.***

A great standalone rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 7th row of the series

Row 30 minutes as you wish - I do it at 24spm and 2K+12 pace

🚣TOP Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid (if you follow me) 🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K+12 for the 24spm - or whatever you want

➔Effort = 8-10/10

➔Speech = Tough

* The 7th workout of 30 days of 30 minutes is a "FreeStyle" workout - where you can row how you wish. Feeling strong? Go fast. Feeling drained? Go slow. It's up to you. But I do mine at 24spm and 2K+12 pace in case you want to continue to follow my workouts through this 30 day thing.***

This was streamed originally live to YouTube while racing on the ErgRace app (although I say RowPro in the breakout.... oops!) - but I've then taken it into the edit and tidied it up - added a proper warm up and cooldown in order for it to sit properly in with the rest of the rows in this series.

A great standalone FITNESS BOOSTING rowing workout - if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 6th Day of the series

Change up a 20spm row by dropping to a VERY low stroke rate every 5:30

🚣Bottom Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K+18 for the 20spm - don't worry about the 12spm

➔Effort = 5/10

➔Speech = Comfortable

* The point of the 12spm is just to slow the stroke right down - which will reveal whether you have a good 'flow' to your stroke, especially the recovery phase. If you're stuttery and jerky without the fluid motion, you'll find it hard to flow.***

A great standalone HARD rowing workout - if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 5th Day of the series

A massive endorphin rush is the reward for getting through this row. Change every three minutes through 18/20/22/24/26spm - start slow and build up pace. Twice.

🚣MID Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 18spm at 2K+20 - increase at least 2 seconds per rate increase

➔Effort = 5/10 up to 8/10

➔Speech = Comfortable, but climing up to tough

* Rising up from the slower rates and paces, this workout is a gradual burner. But by the time you get to the 24spm interval, it'll start to get tougher. By the time you hit the 26spm chunk, you should be around 2K+10 pace, and starting to feel it. But then, you drop back to 18spm and 2K+20 again - only to do it all over again.***

A great standalone FITNESS BOOSTING rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 4th Day of the series

Slow it down but keep it interesting by changing the stroke rate between 18 and 20 spm every 5 minutes.

🚣A BOTTOM Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 18spm at 2K+20-22 and 20spm at 2K+18-20

➔Effort = 5/10

➔Speech = Comfortable

* After Day 3's really spicy row, this is a good way to let your body take a bit of a breather while still doing some rowing. Use this time to work on your technique and your rhythm while you also build your all important core fitness *

🔶If you use ERGZONE to program your C2 Monitor, you will find this row under the 30 x 30 minutes Playlist as RA 30/30 - 4. Otherwise, just program your monitor as a 30 minute row with 5 minute splits (no rests)..🔶

🔵🔵🔵 SHOWING SUPPORT FOR ROWALONG 🔵🔵🔵

I've been asked a few times about the best way to support what I'm doing. Honestly, the best way is just to watch and subscribe using this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGYcAoZ9WTJriM9jZkXxoPg?sub_confirmation=1)

More views lead to more views - and I'm really just interested in getting more people on board to RowAlong with. (Make sure to click the notification bell to be alerted when I upload new workouts)

That said, I know that there are some people who want to show their support financially, and as much as I've shied away from giving out links to this before - I've been advised to at least provide the links - to stop someone spoofing me!! So....

Patreon: https://patreon.com/rowalong

PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WJ3Q8X6J4FFC6

But seriously - just keep watching, that's all I ask!!

🔵🔵🔵

As always, follow me for stroke rate. And I'll keep you company for the row with training tips, technique tips, and my usual general waffle.

For more information about drag factor, the plans and what this is all about, head to https://www.rowalong.com For more about indoor rowing in general, go to www.indoorrowinginfo.com

See you in the next video.

ℹℹℹℹℹℹ - 2K training paces are based on your current best performance to row 2000m. Set your monitor to 2000m and row it as fast as you can. When you're finished either look at the memory screen for that row, and note the Average /500m pace - or just divide your time by 4 to find that out.

For instance - if you rowed your 2000m in 8:20 - the average pace for 500m is 2:05. It doesn't matter if you started at 1:50 and then slowed down to 2:20 by the end - your average across the whole row is 2:05.

So when I give a pace guide saying "2K + 18 seconds" - that means that you take your 2K time, and add 18 seconds to it (in the above example, 2:05 + 18 = 2:23 pace.) Just be sure to set your monitor so it displays your /500m pace so you can stay on target.

Every time you think you're getting faster, rather than just arbitrarily changing the pace guide - do another 2000m test to find your current 2K average time - and then work from that. ℹℹℹℹℹℹ

A great standalone MAX EFFORT rowing workout - or if you're rowing 30 days of 30 minute rows, this is the 3rd Day of the series

Boy is this 30 minute row Spicy! 1 minute full-on efforts followed by 2 minutes recovery - ten times.

🚣This row gets the red chilli, as it's a TOP Tier row on my Intensity Pyramid🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2 minutes soft = around 2K+30 - 1 minute HARD = Around 2k-5

➔Effort = Soft = 3/10 - Hard = 10/10

➔Speech = Comfortable - then gasping for air.

* This row is all about the 1 minute efforts. I'd usually programme this as 1 minute with 2 minutes total rest. And for me, the lack of complete rest showed very early on. My aim was 2K-5 - but between the lack of rest, the tough bike ride the night before, and the fact I talk all the way through - my bag of excuses for not hitting the pace was full!!! *
