Good morning! Well today is Day 2 and I have to admit, I pathetically woke up sore from yesterday's 5 minute workout! The first 2.5 minutes of that workout was technique work so really I'm only sore from actively rowing 2.5 minutes! My quads, adductors, pecs and biceps are feeling it. So although that is ridiculous, its also an indication of how out of shape I've become. On the positive, self-loving side--its exciting to see results so quickly! Good job me!
I have to go slow and be careful not to injure myself. The last time I tried rowing--about 6 years ago in early recovery--I rowed happily for about 3 months and then developed some significant elbow and arm issues because I was cocking my wrists up too much when rowing and compressing my radial nerve. This time I'm trying to pay close attention to my technique.
Abs were burning this morning--in a good way--during the workout! I think now that I've watched the technique videos and am correcting my stroke, I think its working the abs more. I have to be honest though--I'm having a bit of a hard time typing because my wrists feel super tight so I've got to stretch well and watch my technique even more!!!
I accidently pressed the wrong button at the end of my workout--erasing all the details instead of "resting"--ooops! So all I know is that I rowed for 3 minutes 30seconds and my ave strokes per minute was around 20-something.
Onward! Proud I got up and rowed today. Tomorrow I'm going to try to cross train by doing this gentle workout video I love.
Have a great day!
