Happy, happy Friday!
As usual, I’m looking forward to the weekend. Then next week I have a 2-day work week, and then I’m heading down to San Diego to spend some time there and celebrate Thanksgiving. I’m excited!
Onto workouts…
You may have noticed that when I talk about the workouts I’ve done in a week, I often mention rowing. It’s a form of exercise that I started doing a lot of earlier this year. I find it to be really efficient and an awesome form of cardio, and I actually talked about some of the benefits of rowing in this Girls Gone Sporty article.
While I’ll sometimes do intervals of rowing/resting, I’ve recently gotten really into incorporating rowing into circuit workouts that last 45-60 minutes. I feel so sweaty and accomplished by the end of them, and I especially like them because it keeps your mind engaged the entire time (no mindless cardio exercise involved!). Below is a 5-round, total body circuit rowing workout I did last week. Hope that you’ll try it out!
And with that, I’m kicking off my weekend with a trip to the gym to work out my legs and get some cardio in — maybe some rowing! 😉

Oh my goodness! I’ve done a rowing circuit workout before and it was so hard! You must be in really great shape if you do this frequently!

I love rowing, it really gets my heart rate pumping! Lately I’ve been getting some rowing battle wounds though — including calluses on my hand haha guess it’s the price I pay!
