Concept 2 Model D Indoor Rower

This contraption has been my best/worst friend, especially since October when I started training for the Everglades Challenge in earnest. It’s a well rounded, no-impact workout that is perfect for what I want to accomplish. Right now I’m trying to log in some long hours & ‘distance’, but will kick in the 3 WEEK WINTER WORKOUT just prior to the race.

January 2nd I added some High Intensity Interval Training to my routine which really boosts core strength and endurance. I alternate HIIT styles to balance it out, i.e. Mon-Wed-Fri I’ll do 10 crunches, 10 push-ups & 10 squats – non-stop for 15 minutes as fast as I can; Tue-Thu-Sat I’ll do an 8 Cycle (4 minute) TABATA .

HIIT in the morning, rowing in the evening . . .
