Fall Team Challenge
Rowers, the Fall Team Challenge begins soon! It runs from September 15 to October 15. The challenge is to row as many meters as we can collectively during those dates and log your metres to the Concept2 Online Logbook along the way.
If you don’t already have one but you’re keen to participate you will need a logbook. You will then need to be added to the CrossFit Maitland Team and also indicate on your logbook that you choose to actively participate in the challenge.
As challenge participants the rowers are available for you to use at any time as long as they aren’t in use for the Workout Of the Day.
Remember that high intensity intervals should dominate your rowing workouts. This approach fits perfectly for the type of fitness we are pursuing as crossfitters who place a premium on strength, power, and speed, just as much (if not more so) as cardio/respiratory endurance. You can read more on that subject here in this post.
Here are a few workouts you might like to try that I’ve done recently:
WOD 1
30 rounds of:
30 seconds rowing
30 seconds rest
WOD 2
4 rounds of:
Row 1000m
Rest 2 minutes
You can set your intervals on the rowing monitors. If you need to be shown let me know and I’ll help you.
