You’ve done 300 M repeats, a 500 M for time.....you even did 1000M in “Jackie”....but a 2000M Row! You’ve got to be kidding! Nope! Of course not....this is CrossFit.
Rowing, if done correctly, can yield a much higher energy output then running. What the heck does that mean?? Well, for those of you who did the 2K row today--you probably know that it means that rowing taxes multiple muscle groups simultaneously...not to mention the consequential impact all that muscle contraction has on your cardiovascular and respiratory systems! Check out our folks rowing in today’s classes:
Those last two pics are of our top gal and guy rowers for today. Chrystal rowed the 2K in just over 8 minutes, while Luke pulled it in 7:15!
Are you wondering how you compare to the global CrossFit community? Check out the rowing records from the CrossFit Trophy Case. Where do you stand? Also--take a look at these links to some quick videos about rowing technique and rowing flaws posted on the main CrossFit site.
