Athlete using an indoor rowing machine with feet secured and a neutral torso.

Before you start

Set up the movement.

  1. 01

    Secure the foot straps across the widest part of each shoe.

  2. 02

    Set the monitor where pace or effort is visible without reaching.

  3. 03

    Begin with a light leg drive before increasing stroke pressure.

One useful cue

Keep the first rep repeatable.

Drive with the legs first, then finish with the body and arms while keeping the spine long.

Training use

Purpose before prescription.

IN YOUR PLAN

Use controlled strokes and an effort you can repeat; the plan does not prescribe a race split.

WITHOUT THE EQUIPMENT

Use incline walking or an easy run when a rower is unavailable.
