Sending all our love to Malcolm and Erika Howard in London!
We’ve been hammering home the most important rowing technique points with you for the last couple weeks, and we’re happy to say things seem to be taking hold in your little heads! Technique and awareness of form are improving, which is fantastic.
However, it’s important to keep on striving for greatness. Yes?
I know this is a long video, but it is VERY thorough and breaks down everything you need to do to row like Malcolm Howard in the upcoming Olympics (Go Team Canada!!). 😉 If you can’t bear to watch the whole thing, at least do me a solid and agree to scan through for the major points:
