Rowing often features in CrossFit workouts. The main Concept2 site lists CrossFit as one of their communities, and provides access to a wealth of FREE training information - including all the CrossFit Journal articles on rowing. Other C2 articles are available as well, my fave is the article called 24 Rowing Workouts. These are designed to get you more than familiar with the rower.
These resources are for you. Yes you!! I know, I had you at FREE.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily...

Barbell, kettlebell and dumbbell complexes are a great way to train, giving your brain something to focus on while you complete a large volume of work.

Mechanics, Consistency, Intensity
posted by: CFW • Tuesday, March 22, 2011
Consistency relates to not just sound movement mechanics under duress, but also to putting yourself through a training session when perhaps you would rather not.
The best training program is the one you do.
