Rowing Ergometer Challenges:

💥2000-METER TEST – This was one of the top three most awful experiences I’ve had with exercise. The first time I did a 2000-meter test, I had that awful “I sprinted outside in the cold air and now I can’t seem to fully get my breath” feeling for about a day. I came in at 7:40 for my first 2000-meter test. The world indoor record right now is 5:35. For the sake of my own pride, I hope his was as unbearable as mine.

💥2 X 1000-METER – After I realized that I never wanted to do 2000-meter again, the logical next move seemed to be to cut the total distance in half and do two 1000-meter sprints instead. It was a much better fit.

💥30 SECONDS ON, 30 SECONDS OFF FOR 10 MINUTES – This is another good option because it goes by quickly, and none of the work bouts are so long that you’ll get bored out of your mind if you’re someone who hates cardio. The only downside is that the rest period is so short that you barely have time to stand up before you have to get back down and start rowing again.
