Text Messaging With Rowing

one-handed-for-texting
The only way you can row one-handed without a lot of unnecessary awkwardness is to hold the handle in the center.

How do you row and chat via text message at the same time?  Its a lot easier on an indoor rowing machine, than in a boat on the water.  To do it, you remove your dominant hand from the handle and use the other hand to row with, while holding the handle in the center instead of on one side of the handle.  It slows everything down, but you don’t have to totally stop.

That’s what I did today, several times while rowing.  It only made the 10K session about 10 minutes longer than it would have been if all rowing had been done two-handed.

Today’s session was 10K with first and last parts as warmup/down and the middle part done while watching HOCR Rowing Power Workout and doing the intervals it includes.
