25 minutes of easy, low-intensity rowing — 5K plus a short cool-down. Join me and we'll talk.

Rowing consistently is where the real gains live, in fitness, in technique, and yes, in the numbers on the monitor. This session is one of those daily building blocks — nothing dramatic, just showing up and doing the work at a pace where your breathing rises but the effort stays manageable.

Along the way I get into calorie counting — what the monitor is actually telling you, how accurate it is, and how it fits into the bigger picture of energy in and out. It's a topic that comes up a lot and I cover it properly here. I also spend a few minutes on the stroke — the rhythm and timing of the drive that makes rowing feel connected rather than scrappy. Both topics are worth sticking around for.

There's also a genuine tangent about drummers, and a word about why I'm doing my lunchtime row on the Aviron today.
