• Participant must provide evidence of “score” (numerical data) via APP, photo or in person to MWR employee overseeing sign in
   

January 2025 Challenge 1: “Row Rumble”

• CHALLENGE:
  Row as many meters as possible in 20 minutes
• SCORE:
  Number of meters rowed
• EQUIPMENT:
  Rower with Digital Screen

Points of Performance for Participants

1. Adjust Rower to accommodate participant. Straps should go over the balls of your feet
2. A “10” setting allows the most airflow and therefore the highest resistance. A “1” permits little airflow and minimizes resistance. 4-7 would be ideal for this competition
3. Think “Legs, Body, Arms” for the drive and “Arms, Body, Legs” for the catch
    

Questions and Troubleshooting

• Participants can use equipment or “compete” at a MWR facility or elsewhere- including a home gym, outside, etc. IF the participant has competed in an alternate location, they MUST provide proof via APP or photo of their score.
• Participants CAN compete more than once to obtain a better score
• Score sheets will be collected at the end of each month and kept for record
• More information to come regarding recognitions and a possible larger scale competition…
