Coaching Notes

  • +This is not a hard session — the goal is to move the body and boost energy for the day.
  • +Heart rate should stay below 140 bpm. If you feel breathless, slow down.
  • +Focus on smooth technique rather than pace. Use this time to refine your stroke.
  • +Hydrate before and after — the body is dehydrated after sleep.
  • +Pair with light stretching after the session for maximum morning benefit.
