Step one: find a rowing pace for moderate intensity cardio
For a HR of 130-135, that's about 20-21 strokes per minute, with attention to decent form throughout, at about a 2'20" pace per 500 meters.
The emphasis is on the HR, not comparing race paces, though.
Will study whether 30-35 minutes at that HR is comparable to the same while jogging on a treadmill; I'll know if with a total daily exercise duration of 1 hour, my "fitness factors" are optimized.
Not competitive racing speed and short split times, but
- Blood pressure
- Body weight
- Neutralized stress hormones (i.e. freedom from freak shows)
- Mental resilience
- Memory and learning
Plus, there are just enough variables to pulling a perfect stroke to keep you coming back for more, seeking that synchronous total body pull. Nowhere near as ridiculous as golf, thankfully.
