Indoor rowing daily is vital unless you have another daily activity to elevate your heart rate for 20 to 30 minutes or more, daily. Today I wanted to row 5K. There was one already scheduled online for 12 minutes in the future. I joined that one but the rowpro/digitalrowing.com/Oarbits server would not work. After several tries I dropped out of that session and made my own online session as a QR and did it alone.
The method I used for the purpose of keeping heart rate elevated during the approximately 30 minutes was to row relatively fast for about 1 minute at the begining of the 5K and every 1,000 meters after that. It seemed to do the job well. In between the 1 minute intervals I rowed slowly, sometimes with only one hand while sipping coffee or water.
Before the 5K session, there was a 1,500 meter warmup that is not shown here. It is normally the case that I row at least a little bit to warmup or test, in addition to the main rowing session for the day. Graphs and data for those are usually not shown or even mentioned but they are viewable in the link to my online logbook, further below.
If you’d like to either view or row along with the screen recording of today’s session it is available at this link: June 8th, 2021 online rowing session.
Data for any workout sessions for any day can be seen in detail via this: link to the online logbook. To see a session’s data and interactive graph click the “+” sign in “Action” column for that session.
Happy rowing to you!
