RowAlong – Indoor Rowing Machine Workouts

Have a fun adventure in space on the rowing machine as I take you on a journey - for kids of all ages! 

Join the Captain of the Spaceship RowAlong as I deliver a package to the other end of the universe. In order to get there safely, the ship needs two pilots to RowAlong in unison - so make sure to keep up with me. You never know what dangers lurk as you travel into the darkness of space...

➡ We'll spend 4 minutes prepping and tuning the engines.➡ Then we'll take off and fly to the other side of the galaxy in ten minutes➡ Finally, we'll slow down for two minutes to get to our destination. 

💫 16 minutes of rowing in total, and hopefully a fun distraction to keep you going through a short workout, no matter whether you're a new rower, a gym user looking for a distraction or a kid looking for some entertainment while rowing. 💫 

❗❕❗❕ A mixture of easy, tempo and fast rowing to give you a good, but short workout. Always remember to keep as good a technique as you can when rowing. Push with the feet, forwards tilt and straight arms - and then pull in with arms only at the back half of the stroke! ❗❕❗❕

I hope you like this slight change to the usual chat I go through when making a Rowing Workout video for you to RowAlong to. After making a few 'new rower' videos, and 'gym user' videos - and then having a chat with a friend about how to keep people (especially kids) entertained on the rowing machine, but also giving them some kind of strucutre - it occured to me that maybe I could try this as an option. 

Let me know if you like it - whether you're 10 or 40 - did it keep you entertained? Did you get a good workout from it? 

I've got a lot more of these planned, so like all the rest of my videos - if you like 'em, I'll make 'em.

It's only 6 minutes of effort in this rowing workout. But if you put in the RIGHT effort, that'll be enough! 🚣6 x 1 minutes with 2 minutes rest 🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 1-2 seconds faster than 1K Pace (FAST!)➔Effort =10/10➔Speech = Don't bother. Just breathe.

❗  This is another of the rows that'll show you what you're capable of. Maybe you've been holding back in previous rows? Well this is when you launch into the session, and row consistently faster in each of the intervals. ❗

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K - W4S5) or set 1 minute intervals with 2 minute rests, or 16 minutes and RowAlong with me. 🚥

RowAlong with the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/fubOPZPYHsY

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. 

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

🚣Row 30 minutes at 18 strokes per minute at a low intensity 🚣‍♀️

And I mean a low intensity. If this feels tough, if you're not able to hold a conversation, if your ego is in charge - you're rowing too hard! 

➔Pace Guide = 2K+20 - NO FASTER PLEASE! ➔Effort = 5/10➔Speech = Comfortable

❗  In terms of giving you fitness and lastability to be able to row any session you like, rows like this one are vital. The sprinting 10 x 100m or 8 x 2minute sessions are great for kudos - but if you don't have a strong foundation fitness (which this workout will help give you) then you won't be able to shine in those flashy rows. ❗

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K - W4S4) or just set 30 minutes and RowAlong with me. 🚥

There's nothing quite like pushing hard at 20 strokes per minute to build your ability to lay in the power on the rowing machine!🚣8 x 4minutes at 20spm with 2 minute rests🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = Aim for 2K+10 - faster if it's natural (see below for 2K Pace info)➔Effort = 7-8/10➔Speech = You can talk, but you'll need to take breathers

❗  Pushing 20spm rows too much just makes you good at pushing 20spm rows. But if you do it within a plan where you've been working on power and stroke rate individually, then this is a good bit of 'revision' as we head towards the final week in the 1000m plan (you don't have to be rowing the RowAlong 1000m plan to still get value from this). ❗

The point is to lay in a lot more power that a usual 20spm row. But not so much that you can't get through all the intervals. It needs to be tough enough that you need to push through the intensity, but not so you have to stop.

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K - W4S3) or set 8 x 4 minute intervals with 2 minute rests, or 46 minutes and RowAlong with me. 🚥

Your energy tank is only so big. But you can increase it with a row like this the one in this RowAlong workout. 🚣3 x 12 minutes at 20spm with 90 second rests🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 2K+18 - NO FASTER!!!➔Effort = 5/10➔Speech = Comfortable 

❗  Hopefully by now I don't have to sell you on the benefits of rowing a session like this. Increase your core fitness (your tank of power) and spend time grooving in a good stroke. It's a very simple row that shouldn't push you. You'll get a good sloggy workout - but you'll be fresh for what comes next! ❗

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K - W4S2) or set 12 minute intervals with 90 seconds rests, or just 39 minutes and RowAlong with me. 🚥

This row will build your speed and ability to hold it. But only if you make sure to ROW FAST! 🚣45 seconds x 8 with 30 second rests 🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = 1K Pace or faster.➔Effort = 10/10➔Speech = Gasping for air! 

❗  The important thing about this row is that you need to put everything into it. 45 seconds is a short interval, and if you try to pace it, you won't get the result from this workout. You should end up gasping for air at the end, with legs burning from the effort. If you don't, you're either not putting in 100%, or there's something about your technique that's holding you back ❗

That said, as tough as it was in the moment, after 10 minutes recovery, I was ok and could have done something like 20 minutes at 2K+18 - so if you want to make this a longer workout, that's what I suggest.

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K - W4S1) or set 45 second intervals with 30 second rests, or 9:30 and RowAlong with me. 🚥

Get up to speed, and keep it up. Hold it through all 5 intervals in this tough rowing workout.🚣5 x 90 seconds with 3 minutes rest between🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = Around 1K rate and pace (or the best you managed from W3S3)➔Effort = Starts at 10/10 - remains at 10/10➔Speech = Gasping for air from the start! 

❗  This one is about getting up to your fast pace, and holding it there. Even when your body is starting to tell you to slow down, as it's only 90 seconds of rowing, you really shouldn't need to. So this one really is about power, fitness and mental strength. ❗

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pickRA1K - W3S5) or set 90 second intervals with 3 minutes rest, or just set 19:30 and RowAlong with me. 🚥

It may be just 3 x 10 minute intervals, but they'll REALLY help your rowing and your fitness.

❗  Like the T-shirt says, don't push the slow stuff. Give your body a chance to recover and to build your base fitness by keeping the intensity nice and low. These Long Slow Distance rows are a vital part of your training, no matt what you're training for.  ❗

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Warning - this is one of my toughest RowAlong Workouts - I take myself to the limit. Can you do the same? 

This workout will help you increase your speed for any sprint distance.🚣20 x 1 minute with 1 minute rest. 🚣‍♀️

The first 4 at 24spmThe next 4 at 26spmThe next 4 at 28spmThe next 4 at 30spmThe Last 4 at 32spm

➔Pace Guide = MAX MAX MAX (at the right rate)! ➔Effort = Starts at 10/10 - ends at 12/10! ➔Speech = If I could have breathed out my ears, I would!  

❗  Your speed comes from either power, or stroke rate. Let this workout develop your ability not only to row fast with both of these tools, but prove how combining them both will make you even faster. 

And this row will build your mental strength to hold on to the end of your race. Keep your pace up, even when your body is screaming to slow down. 

This is a MAX EFFORT ROW - only do this if you're fit and strong enough to do it without any medical issues. ❗

An incredible standalone rowing workout whenever you want to work on pace at the limit - but also fits into the 1000m plan as Week 3 Session 3.

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K - W3S3) or the 1 minute intervals, or just 39 minutes and RowAlong with me. 🚥RowAlong with the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/gA6E7oMSqAA

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. 

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

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/UCGYc...)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....

30 minutes of rowing can be dull. Make it more interesting by changing pace and stroke rate as you row.🚣Change from 18/20/22/20/18spm every 6 minutes🚣‍♀️

➔Pace Guide = Start at 2K+20 - speed up by 2 seconds as you go faster stroke rates, then slow down 2 seconds as you reduce rate➔Effort = Starts at 5/10 - up to 6/10 then back to 5/10➔Speech = Comfortable

❗  You won't end up working too hard in this row, but the pyramid of rate and pace change will at least give you a bit more pace than a typical 20spm / 30 minute row.❗

If you're on the 1Km plan, or if you have any stiffness or injury, pay attention to not over-doing this from an exertion point of view. If you're eagle eyed, you'll see how much I drop my pace towards the end. A LOT slower even than the 2K+20 guide, as I wanted to make sure not to worsen a niggle in my intercostal muscles. 

🚥Either use Ergzone to pre-program your Concept2 monitor (search for RowAlong, and under the RA icon, pick RA1K - W3S2) or just set a 30 minute row and RowAlong with me. 🚥
