Скачать или смотреть Row Along: March 2 – Easy 25 Minute Rowing Workout. Get Fitter. Seriously!

A Rowing machine workout to follow along to – low intensity, 25 minutes, great for every single day. I'm on the EXR Hill Loop course today, and whether you're just getting moving for the first time or you've been rowing with me all week, this one's for you.

I kick off with a quick machine setup – resistance, seat position, foot straps, handle grip – and then we're straight into it.

The race itself? That's tomorrow's problem.

After your row: shower, eat, drink, tell someone you love them.
