Week 2 – Fitter (cardio)

Session 1

This is your endurance session, working on building it up slowly and steadily each week. Find a comfortable rhythm at a slower stroke rate and just sit at it for the duration of the first row. Then try and match it in the second. Remember to keep moving gently in the rest period so you don’t stiffen up. 

Session 1

Row 2 x 10 minutes
Notes 20-24spm
Rest 5 mins
RPE 6/7

Session 2

Building on last week’s high intensity interval training session you’ll be doing a similar set, with more reps this time, to test your fitness further.

Session 2

Row 1 minute sprint
Notes x8
Rest 1 minute

Session 3

You have a distance focus for this session and consistency is key. Aim to do each of the rows in a similar time, except maybe a little quicker for your final one.

Notes 24-28spm
Rest 3 minutes
