Row the Distance
From Row for It. by Alandra Corrigan

Long rowing segments are great for fat-burn and improving aerobic capacity. The rowing machine is also low impact, which makes it a great cardio alternative for older people or athletes with current knee injuries.

Workout:
-Rowing (moderate effort) for 45 minutes

Detailed Description:
-We are going to do an 45 minute workout on the rowing machine (Erg).
-Your goal is to try to hold a steady pace for the entire 45 minutes.
-To keep things interesting and motivated take a look at the tips & tricks below.

Tips & tricks:
Take 'Focus' strokes when you are tired to bring your mind back to the workout.
Examples of these include:
-10 strokes focusing on pushing with your legs
-10 strokes focusing on your breathing pattern
-10 strokes on relaxing unnecessary tension

If you find yourself getting bored, add in some mini 'pieces' to break-up the routine.
For Example:
- Row 'Cycles', pull 5 hard strokes, 5 medium, 5 easy
- Power 10s: This is something rowers do in long races to build power and speed, pull as hard as you can for 10 strokes to get yourself fired up!

** Make sure you are well hydrated before starting a long piece. You will sweat a lot and it is difficult to drink while using the rowing machine without stopping.
