I've been doing my research and swapped out to a warmup - on and off - cooldown routine. So I do 2 minutes warm up, 90 seconds on (28-32 spm), 60 seconds slow (22-24spm), repeat until the third on set and I cool off for 90 seconds for a 10 minute workout. That results to roughly 2.5km in 10 minutes.

Maybe I'm just looking at the wrong places, but no one talks about how quickly you see improvements or gains.

I took a pause last because I wasn't feeling well, so I'm picking it back up again this week for week 4 and hoping to be able to do 2 sets. 100% expect when I do a second set of 10 mins, I won't be able to hit even 2km after 10 minutes.
rowing is the best. low impact, but total body. I see a huge difference on the golf course with a much improved core. I haven't willy in such a long time too.
