This rowing workout is designed to challenge and improve your cardiovascular fitness. Being on a rowing machine makes this a great workout for PoTS sufferers. However, if you have hypermobility (e.g. hEDS), be aware that rowing exerts a pulling force on your wrists, elbows and shoulders.
If you are new to rowing, head back to our posts and watch the Beginners Guide to Rowing to give you a good idea of some techniques and how to set up your rower if you’ve never done it before.
This workout is 15 minutes long, and you can adjust the intensity by adjusting the stroke rate. So if you’re used to rowing and you have a good cardio fitness baseline then you can increase your strokes maybe up to 30 strokes per minute, otherwise aim for about 20 strokes per minute.
