Steps- Spend the first 5 minutes warming up doing some basic rowing drills.
- Next take a short break and get ready for the workout.
- Row for 3 minutes at around 22 strokes per minute at UT2 intensity.
- Then drop your stroke rate and intensity to 20 strokes per minute for 1 minute.
- Finally raise your rate and intensity for 3 minutes back up to UT2 intensity.
- Finish off by warming down with some easy rowing.
- UT2 5 minute warp up
- Start with some easy half slide strokes for 1 minute
- Go to full slide after 1 minute, rowing light at rate 18-20
- After 2 minutes, increase your power and hold the rate steady at 18-20
- After 3 minutes, increase power again to near UT2 pace at 20 strokes per minute
- If you feel ready after 5 minutes, stop and get ready for the workout, otherwise continue rowing near UT2 pace for 1-2 minutes.
- Play around with your power as you change the rate. Look to see if you can increase your pace/speed when the rate goes up.
- Keep the same good rowing rhythm when the rates change. Look for a ratio of 1:2 - 1 part drive phase and 2 parts recovery phase.
- Always focus on developing and maintaining good rowing technique.
