Rigorous Rower Workouts

Posted Dec 01 2009 10:03pm

I came across three intense workouts using the rower.

When's the last time you used the rower?

Now's your time!

I tested these workouts on my unsuspecting guinea pigs (aka personal training clients) today and they got great reviews.

Try these out, mix them up, and let me know what you think!


Workout 1 - Downward Steps

10 mins - row
9 mins - run*
8 mins - row
7 mins - run
6 mins - row
5 mins - run**
4 mins - row
3 mins - run
2 mins - row
1 min - run

* Substitute running with any other cardiovascular activity: elliptical, bike, stair-stepper, etc.

**As the intervals get shorter, try to pick up the pace and finish off strong

 
Workout 2 - Legs, Arms, Core, Row!

  • Row 500 meters at a moderate intensity
  • Do 1 minute of leg exercises. Choose from squats, squat jumps, jump rope, lunges or other favorites.
  • Row 500 meters at a moderate intensity
  • Do 1 minute of arm exercises. Choose from pushups, pullups, curls, overhead presses, etc.
  • Row 500 meters at moderate intensity
  • Do 1 minute of core exercises. Choose from crunches, planks, twists, or others.

*Repeat 1 or more times

**Increase challenge by increasing the intensity of the row, duration of the 1 minute exercises, or meters rowed


Workout 3 - Progression Workout

  • 10 squats
  • 5 pushups
  • 5 crunches

1000 meter row

  • 20 pushups

*The workout is to be completed as fast as you can! Time yourself, record it, and try to beat it.

**Pushups can be done from knees

***Substitutes can be used for crunches
