Here’s How You Can Minimize Pain Until You Get Back to Your Level"},"content":{"rendered":"

We\u2019ve all been there – skipping a few days has turned into a few weeks, maybe even months.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, who can blame you, especially with all that\u2019s going on outside?<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, the bottom line is – you\u2019re out of shape and now you want to get back to rowing<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And as we all know, it is hard to get back into the game after the break. We\u2019re out of habit, it takes time to get back in the shape we were in, and more than anything – it\u2019s painful.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since getting back in shape (or doing it for the first time) is one the best decisions you can make, let\u2019s see what exactly you can do to minimize the initial pain and exhaustion<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Start Slow<\/b><\/h3>\n

I want it all, and I want it now, right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, even though we all want that, life teaches us that this is pretty much impossible. What you should do actually is start low and go slow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Start with a pace that you\u2019re comfortable with and then take it from there. Experts recommend a general progression of no more than 10 percent on a week-to-week basis. So, if you begin with a daily 15-minute rowing session, do around 17 minutes next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those already using HOLOFIT, Explore mode is a perfect setup for this – take it easy all while enjoying <\/span>beautiful landscapes<\/span><\/a>. You will forget the pain and the time, and you\u2019ll get the results you are looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set Your Goals<\/b><\/h3>\n

Motivation is no problem on day one. But on day 9? Day 17? Yep, somewhere down the line it will get hard to maintain the motivation, and to effectively do that – make sure you set the goals right away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also make sure you\u2019re realistic – chances are you won\u2019t be doing a Cambridge half-marathon anytime soon. On the other hand, that\u2019s exactly what HOLOFIT member Sylvain did recently, and you can <\/span>read more about it here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just set properly balanced goals, show up every day – and you will get there. You can also use one of our Cardio Goals<\/strong> programs such as Fat burn<\/strong>, HIIT<\/strong> or Interval training<\/strong> and slowly increase your difficulty level and workout time within.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also come up with a weekly workout plan, specifically tailored for people like you that haven’t rowed in a while:<\/span><\/p>\n
