Rest Day 8/22/13:
The Renegade Rowing Team drilling by Moonlight!
What’s your favorite mobility move for Rowing?
Get Loose and Enjoy 15 minutes of Hamstring and Hip Mobility.
Over the past week we’ve hit it pretty hard with intensity and higher volume. Our ability to sit up and maintain a solid core through the stroke has a lot to do with our hamstring flexibility and the work we do on off days to promote recovery and rebuilding of the muscle fibers we tear. Use today as an opportunity to stretch out and rebuild those hamstrings, increase your flexibility, and eat some good quality food.
Share your favorite mobility move, where you’re feeling it today, and how you mobilized!

This is kind of unrelated, but when I first started following these wods a couple of weeks ago I noticed a lot of tightness and lactic acid in my back. Doing mobility work during the longer rest breaks, as well as after the wods, has really helped me recover. This back stretch especially: http://youtu.be/oBh8AD6Okqw
Awesome Graham! That’s a great stretch. It can be done with a jump stretch band tied to the pull up bar as well. Keep up the mobility and focus on a solid brace through your torso when you go to push the legs at the catch. Thanks for sharing!
