February Fitness Tip from Personal Trainer Derek Griffin“Now That’s What I Call High Quality H2O” It is easy to forget how essential the consumption of water is to our physical health and over all well being.

We have brought it back for another go round. One of the most popular workout of the months to date. Objective is to row 500 meters as efficiently as possible. Why? The row is a great total body low-impact workout. This distance is a sprint so it challenges your cardiovascular, power output, and efficiency. You can combine series of 500 meters with rest periods to perform an interval workout.
