I’m over 400lbs. This has been my first official workout of 2020. Got my c2d yesterday. My belly is getting in the way but I’m doing what I can. I’m hoping there won’t be a belly soon. One step at a time!
This video IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. LIke in any sport, one must know and practice INDIVIDUAL BASIC TECHNICAL MOUVEMENTS. Like in cross country skiing or tennis a repeated wrong beginner's mouvement can stick with your sport NOT ONLY FOR A LONG TIME, BUT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO CORRECT. GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU SHANE YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB
New to rowing. Just got my machine set up last night. Fat, trying to get healthy and manage my blood pressure. Did the other video, "the first rowing workout you should ever do", as a warm-up, then moved on to this one. Did first 8 mins straight, paused, then went back at it pausing again at 10, 15, 18. I'm so jealous of those who can do this straight, but baby steps. Thank you for this. Yes, will try to do this three weeks straight. See you again tomorrow!
I’m the same. 67 and arthritis. Rowing began for me in 2020. Has changed my life. Have taken breaks but know faithfully rowing followed by 10 min stretches/ yoga and I stay on the move. Thank you Dark Horse for being here every step of this journey!
Hi guys . Happy announcement 🥳🥳🥳🥳😊😊 A big love from India to this tutor... I was 82 kgs( 10 days before) when I started this rower exercise I wanted to reduce my postpartum belly.. so I started doing this n miracle happened..It's been 10 days am doing this for 20 mints.. burning 200 calories Today is my 10 th day of this exercise Am down 2.5 kgs (4 LBS) Really it's working... Trust me . If I can do it. U can also.. Cheers 🥂 Will update next week again.
"Falls behind with 6 minutes left because it takes 15 seconds to get back in the straps" crew rise up! I know I'm not alone! (This workout is great, I usually row in 10-minute sets, and after reducing my stroke rate to 18 my split time has gone from ~2:15 to under 2:10!)
5'2.5", over 200lbs. It was my first time rowing for more than 10 minutes. I love the different drills, they really helped me work on my form and now I understand how to use my recovery to affect stroke rate. Can't wait to see how I improve in my first month.
Glad I found your channel and Videos !! I am a 70 yo and awaiting delivery of my Concept2 ERG. Never rowed before, but chose this as I have Vestibular Disorders and my balance is not good for my former type of daily exercise - walking. I am in poor shape ... but gonna change that now ! Will be using your workouts to help both me and my (much younger & healthy) wife get started. Thanks !
@@robinowens4348 so am i. Did you stick with it? Im doing it 45mins a day rn. At ~25 strokes per minute. Every 15mins i get off and do 50 crunches, cause i feel like the rowing isnt really challenging my abs. Is this normal?
43 260 lb male that used to use the row machine on the Navy ships. Your beginner video was absolutely perfect for me and my wife to work on our technique and I'm looking forward to graduating to the tougher ones. Thank you
Been away from exercise for a couple years now. Due to running my own restaurant plus Had trouble with high impact workouts due to Achilles issues. I thought I could never find anything to replace those workouts. Am totally in love with the rowing machine now. Thanks for posting. Keep up the great work
This is my first look at your video. I'm a 74 year old former racing cyclist-Olympian, national champion and pro level racer. I'm looking for a good full body workout off the bike. I just purchased a water rower. I’ve looked at your beginner’s video and like your approach.
Got a rowing machine for Christmas-this is my first day on it. After two kids and five plus years of not working out...I was amazed I made it through! Will do it every day for 3 weeks, as suggested!
I just started using the rower at the gym. It's already become my favorite machine. This will definitely help me stay motivated now that I have variations. Glad to have come across your videos.
59 year old (fairly fit as I ride a horse) and recently got into rowing, and I'm obsessed. Love this video in particular, but love following all your tutorials. Thanks Shane, you're great.
Covid screwed up my lungs...I had to give up the treadmill for now and bought a rower to get stronger. I'm finally at a point health wise I can exercise again. I'm a cardio junkie so it's been hard not exercising for 10 months.
I've been rowing at my gym (HIIT training) for over 3 years and I found this to be a great workout. I worked up a sweat. Going at an 18 stroke rate is harder than you think.
Just got my rowing machine yesterday for my birthday. I've been obsessed with rowing based off all the benefits I keep reading about. I've been weight training my lower back and butt too build strength so I could handle it and I've been watching form videos. I'm so glad I did because I definitely needed it to do this video. I set my drag to three and followed along with you. It was a blast!!!! Thank you so much and I can't wait to keep it up!
I started rowing because my body, ankles and knees didn't like running. After 29 years of Army it was time to stop. I now have 5,000m in 25 minutes. I love rowing now. Thanks to your tips and workouts I feel more comfortable and help others, who I point to your channel. Thanks.
Love every minute of your workout! Been doing it in for the last 2 weeks. ( first time gym user , first time rowing machine user) for all of you who are struggling keeping the 18s/m … close your eyes and work it by ear !!! 18s/m all the way!!!!! The second you keep your eyes for longer than 10 sec you will get off 19, 16 , 17 but if you just listen to him - solid 18 !!!!!
Amazing! At first I was worried about it being “Beginners” but that was really effective and perfect. I’ve been doing these videos for almost 4 months and love it. Perfect progression workout
I'm excited to try this when I go to the gym today. The row machines doesn't seem to get used too often there, so I like knowing a good workout for a machine that I know will be available. The overlooked machines are usually the best ones.
This was the first workout I ever did on the rowing machine. Felt like I need a bit more practice specifically on technique, but overall it was really good. Made it to the end with 3268m.
I just finished this workout. I've been using your newbie videos to help remove bad habits and learn the right form. My machine showed up Monday and I've been getting to know it with 10 minutes a day doing your drills. This was the first actual rowing session I've done - I thought I'd get 10 minutes in and have to bail, but I made it all the way through. Not perfectly, but I got there with you. THANK YOU so much!!
Just tried this workout for the first time on my fluidrower. 295lbs 5'4" and 49 years old. Only did just over 2500m but was struggling to follow as my phone was too far away. Good follow up to the pretty slow 5000m I did yesterday. Looking forward to repeating and trying some of your other workouts.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm new to rowing and I've been following this twice a day, every day, for 2 weeks. I've seen 2 inches come off my waist.
Hi I'm a 67 year old lady I've just started rowing machine work outs for beginners, I have osteoporosis so need to work on my strength, plus weight bearing exercises. I'm really enjoying your workout and love the encouragement, many thanks Glenis. 😊
I made it - one month in and I finally made it through this workout. I have been doing your other "starter" workout and switched to this one about a week ago. Dont know if Ill make it to the finish every time but I am getting there. Thanks man - I really appreciate you putting these together!!
Just did my first workout. As an elite level cyclist I thought my legs were powerful. As a beginner on the rower, I can now see that I have weak spots in my armor. A little technique and form training for the next few rounds. Thanks for these videos and the workouts. Can’t wait to get back at it again.
@@domniquieg Ah gotcha! I ordered my from Concept2 directly (Concept2 Model D). Unfortunately they were back-ordered so I got onto the waitlist and it took 2 months to receive it.
I have a very basic rowing machine. Can’t hook my phone up to it. In the past I would just get on the machine and row without any direction and would get board. I followed this beginner video for the first time today and LOVED it ! Thank you!
I had a rower delivered yesterday not a Concept 2 though due to finances and space available, it's a compact air rower, set it up and went hell for leather for about a minute and was worn out, i found this video and put my tablet on the rower over the display and copied this routine stroke for stroke and managed to make it to the end. Mainly made my arms ache more than anything....well i am 60yrs old. I do cycle as well but weather dependant, i have subscribed and thanks.
Thanks! So excited finally got my rower installed and looking forward to doing these routines. I have large cell and can place and watch while I row. I was proud for my very first 30 min beginner .. I was able to comfortably do about 10 resistance on my 16 resistance Sunny Fitness. My tail bone was a little sore but I think if I get some padded bicycle shorts that will fix. I am so glad to get started. The Covid Quarantine of 2 years was brutal: No gym, no yoga and dance classes and no pool. After Covid many of the places I used to go never opened back up. I'm a private person anyway so I think I will be more motivated just working out at home now on the rower and doing yoga too to keep up my flexibility. At age 55 I'm in good shape but want to loose about 15 to 20 lbs to get my stomach flat again. This should be good motivation. Thanks
Been doing 2 hrs cardio 5 days a week for 7 months, but I added rowing 3 weeks ago. I am currently at 1 hr 30 min rowing, 12019 meters, but was just turned on to your profile today. Can't wait to take you to the gym tomorrow.
Just got my Concept2 a few weeks ago and found this workout yesterday. Love it! I'm planning on doing it everyday for a few weeks to really tune in my form. I had been used to rowing in a Crossfit type of enviornment, so its refreshing to focus on form and endurance!
340lbs the morning of 9/25. Did the workout 3 days over the weekend. Monday 335. Hip flexors are burning..LOL...but everything else going good. I have a tough time staying at 18spm, I seem to have a rhythm at 21-22. Thanks so much for this video, it really takes the monotony from straight rowing.
Thank you for the videos. I love how genuine and encouraging you are through the workout. I have been doing this beginner video every day for almost three weeks to make sure my technique is good. I put a video of real boat rowing on the computer screen for my mind and the workout is great!
As a 50 year old with MS I am wishing I found your videos years ago when we bought our Concept2 rower. I look forward to morning workouts with you. You have done wonders for my technique and my CrossFit advisor (my daughter) is so happy I found your videos! Thank you!!
I just completed my first week of doing this workout. I'm thankful to have aa gym at work with a Concept 2 and I'm taking advantage of it before starting my shift. I love this video and hopefully I'm building a good foundation to grow out here in San Diego.
Thankyou so much, writing from Sweden, i have been using the rowing machine quite mindlessly really, I am so pleased I subscribed to your channel, easy, clear, methodical instructions, Thankyou!
I just used the row machine for the first time today. I'm never going back to any other cardio machine. After watching this video, my form was obviously waay off so that's something I'm going to work on. Also this video was like mediation for me...
Thank you for your channel! I bought a rower last fall to boost my cardio between training and competing my dressage horse. It kinda sat through the winter - I always had an excuse not to get on the machine. Well, now we're all in quarantine - no idea when I'll be with my beloved horses again, much less able to compete. I've spent the last 5 days eating and drinking way too much, and sitting around crying and feeling sorry for myself. And now today it's cold and rainy, so I can't even go for a walk. I decided to "play" with the rower; I'm not stupid, so before I hopped on, I decided to look for a video that would help me establish safe form and technique :-) I just did this work out and found it incredibly helpful. I'm going to take your advice and just stick with this video every day for a week and go from there...slowly. Right now, pretty much all of us have nothing but time. Wishing you all well.
I am seeing great results from doing this workout for the last month. I love the variety in it. What would you recommend as the next workout to step up (or row up :) ) to?
I made it! My first actual exercise in like 10 years, 90kg. Felt the burn at 10 minutes, felt the sweaty ness at 7, wanted to quit from 7 till 1, then I was determined to finish! So chuffed! Now just got to do it again every day from here on in 😅
Just ordered mine... Came straight to this video. A bit nervous after watching it but looking at comments really gave me some hope. I'm at 270 right now. Started my diet today. Let's see where it takes me.
I just bought a rowing machine for myself. I had NO CLUE I can do this type of workout on it! I’m going to follow this routine and see what happens. Thank you for this video!❤ Update: I just did this workout and 😥 it is a great workout! I’m sticking with this!
I'm just starting, been a stay at home dad for years so I do plenty of walking but no real exercise and I've developed a gut. I was once in the military so my goal is the USMC standard of rowing a 5k in 22 minutes. Thank you for these videos, I've discovered that rowing is by far my favorite workout and I'm able to pop down to the gym in the morning for 30 minutes and be home before the kids get up :D
I'm new to this and have completed only 22 minutes @ 2.3 miles on this machine. Within just minutes I had lots of questions and these videos answered every one I had. I'm familiar enough with training to know that practicing good form is better than good effort. It felt great on some average out of sync rows but it's fantastic when you get all the movements as one.
Just got my new concept rower! This is my second one owned one 20 years ago I was lean and mean then 6’ 2 219 but now at 56 just mean weight got out of control hit 430 but am down to 335 now....still working rowed my first 15 min workout damm ain’t easy much easier when didn’t have belly but it’s going away. Luv the info thanks
Just set mine up on Wednesday.. I'm almost 200, had a back problem which made me less than ambulatory and I've gained about 60 pounds from this time last year. You can do it!!!
Haydee Correa thanks yeah I was always in tip top shape and never believed I’d let myself go but all good been working from home since April 1 lost 28lbs since then with just walking everyday and watching what goes in mouth lol. But took the plunge to buy another rower and so glad I did again. It ain’t easy but we will get there with a little hard work good luck 👍🍀
@@cryptocat9712 💯 I will be rooting for both of us!! I never believed walking could really help with weight-loss, but I have been doing it every day as well and see the difference! I don't go by weight but rather by how my clothes fit ;)
I've been watching the Dark Horse videos for several weeks and really enjoy these follow along workouts. This one is such a good one to learn technique. Thank you, Shane!
I have laid off the erg for 8 months, gained 8 pounds. time to get in shape for the summer. This is a great starting point to ease back into it. will do for the month of February and then progress to my usual 4 to 5 rows a week varying from 6K to 10 meters. Thanks for your great workout advice. May your oars never go dry.
I found your video I needed a program to try.... I've never rowed before, so I've completed this 30min. I feel comfortable doing this, with your interactions. I'm feeling great. Thank you
Just picked up a concept 2 last week. I've done this workout Monday, and today. Did it Monday, and was obviously out of sync in places, etc, being new to this. So at the end, I wasn't nearly as winded as you seemed to be and thought; "This isn't that hard." LOL Uh-huh. Fast forward to today, I knew what to expect so I pretty much stayed right with you, and really focused on my SPM. By the 12-minute mark, I was feeling it, by the 8-minute mark, I was hurting, and the final two minutes whipped my but good! Thanks for doing these for us!!
Just did this one tonight. Half the distance, power, length etc. Lol I really liked it though. I just got the rower 2 weeks ago and I would say less than ideal fitness level. I'll keep at it though and see where it takes me.
Appreciate these workouts!! Thank you. Please keep doing them. I’m not an experienced rower but have been trying to do on my own. These have been great follow.
Just finished my first workout. Loved the drills, they are so helpful in helping me focus on form! Thank you so much for having so much wonderful information on your channel!
I just purchased my own rower on amazon, and I can’t wait to get back into it after this video and your channel! Thank you for reigniting the flame, I’m so excited!! Totally subscribed
Hello! Today I did your 20 minutes Perfect Beginner Rowing Workout and I tell you all the other weeks I thought repeat I thought I was doing something 😊.. Sir today I really feel the burns in my chest and arms.. WOW.. It feels GOOOOD this 54 years young Queen gonna be SEXY when the summer comes back around in 2024...lmbo.. I'm going to stuck with this "Workout".. Thank you for Sharing and being my Personal Trainer on UA-cam 😂.. New Subscriber!! 💜
Ex football player (or, as you in USA probably call it, “soccer player”) here, good communication with the viewer, easy and rewarding exercises, great work out! Keep up!
I follow your workout everyweek for a month doing this rowing maching exercise. I have lost 5kg from 150kg. No white rice, sugar and salt in my foods. Thank-you.
I’m over 400lbs. This has been my first official workout of 2020. Got my c2d yesterday. My belly is getting in the way but I’m doing what I can. I’m hoping there won’t be a belly soon. One step at a time!
Keep going and you will achieve your goals 💪!
How are you doing?
Yep mine gets in the way too.....oh the struggles.....we got this!!! ❤️
@@gomezgomez9665 yes sir! getting better and better every day! stay the course!! :)
One of the best all body workouts... If you keep at it you`ll be amazed at the transformation you`ll see for sure. You got this :)
Did this workout for three weeks (new to rowing) and lost 7lbs! I'm obese and trying to get healthy. It was great, thank you!
P.s. I bought a Staitmaster HIIT Rower and it is awesome!
@Tarlucon how many days a week did you do this workout for 3 weeks?
Nice, rowing is a great workout: you build posture muscles and cardio, and it's low impact
Good job!

I did five whole minutes!! 😂 Small victories. I'll keep practicing! Thanks for making this!
It's like jumping jacks to be real, gotta find the flow, hopefully some good melodic songs to help
I could only do 5-7 minutes for a long time but I eventually worked my way up to 20min. It’s a WORKOUT!!!
LOL I know right? I'm friggen dying after about 150 strokes....
I did it! I finally did the whole thing!! Only took me six months. 🎉
(For GOT fans, I call this the Gendry workout. 😂)
BelleFlower15 nice job! We just got a rowing machine and they are such a good workout!
Did you see any results @BelleFlower15
I was worried you’d still be rowing...
I’m a 69 years women, with arthritis 37 years ago, I have so much deformity in my hands, but this 10 minutes drills is perfect for my. 😘🙏🏼Thank you!

This work with drills is helping me iron out my stroke I dropped from a 2:28 split to a 2:07 after about 6 times of doing this workout.

I am so glad to get started. The Covid Quarantine of 2 years was brutal: No gym, no yoga and dance classes and no pool. After Covid many of the places I used to go never opened back up. I'm a private person anyway so I think I will be more motivated just working out at home now on the rower and doing yoga too to keep up my flexibility. At age 55 I'm in good shape but want to loose about 15 to 20 lbs to get my stomach flat again. This should be good motivation. Thanks
Day 2... boom! I know form is so important from the start. I know it’s push not pull, but boy, I can feel my arms 😯
I just got my very first machine. Followed this workout to the end and will be for the next 3 weeks. Loved it! Thanks
15:48 Not gonna lie, the first time, I fell over backwards and rolled about 2 times
Taught me a lot about technique and balance
Been doing 2 hrs cardio 5 days a week for 7 months, but I added rowing 3 weeks ago. I am currently at 1 hr 30 min rowing, 12019 meters, but was just turned on to your profile today. Can't wait to take you to the gym tomorrow.
Just got my Concept2 a few weeks ago and found this workout yesterday. Love it! I'm planning on doing it everyday for a few weeks to really tune in my form. I had been used to rowing in a Crossfit type of enviornment, so its refreshing to focus on form and endurance!
How are you doing ? I’m starting today, also hoping to do this workout for a few weeks. Newbie here!
340lbs the morning of 9/25. Did the workout 3 days over the weekend. Monday 335. Hip flexors are burning..LOL...but everything else going good. I have a tough time staying at 18spm, I seem to have a rhythm at 21-22. Thanks so much for this video, it really takes the monotony from straight rowing.
Thank you for the videos. I love how genuine and encouraging you are through the workout. I have been doing this beginner video every day for almost three weeks to make sure my technique is good. I put a video of real boat rowing on the computer screen for my mind and the workout is great!
I have been using the 20 min Beginner and decided to try this one today...Man, am I going to feel this tomorrow 😅! Loved it. The time flew by.
TYVM for motivating and assisting me with my beginner's stage of rowing, I like your 20 and 30 mins row videos. CAN I ROW DAILY AS A BEGINNER?
Do it!!
As a 50 year old with MS I am wishing I found your videos years ago when we bought our Concept2 rower. I look forward to morning workouts with you. You have done wonders for my technique and my CrossFit advisor (my daughter) is so happy I found your videos! Thank you!!
I just did my very first workout too to this video. I'm just starting working out too. I made it through. I'll see you again tomorrow.
Thanks,
Dan
I just completed my first week of doing this workout. I'm thankful to have aa gym at work with a Concept 2 and I'm taking advantage of it before starting my shift. I love this video and hopefully I'm building a good foundation to grow out here in San Diego.
Awesome workout! Having me row at a 12 and then the last 2 minutes at 18 really helped me to connect to the rower.
Thankyou so much, writing from Sweden, i have been using the rowing machine quite mindlessly really, I am so pleased I subscribed to your channel, easy, clear, methodical instructions, Thankyou!
I just used the row machine for the first time today. I'm never going back to any other cardio machine. After watching this video, my form was obviously waay off so that's something I'm going to work on.
Also this video was like mediation for me...
Thank you for your channel! I bought a rower last fall to boost my cardio between training and competing my dressage horse. It kinda sat through the winter - I always had an excuse not to get on the machine. Well, now we're all in quarantine - no idea when I'll be with my beloved horses again, much less able to compete. I've spent the last 5 days eating and drinking way too much, and sitting around crying and feeling sorry for myself. And now today it's cold and rainy, so I can't even go for a walk. I decided to "play" with the rower; I'm not stupid, so before I hopped on, I decided to look for a video that would help me establish safe form and technique :-) I just did this work out and found it incredibly helpful. I'm going to take your advice and just stick with this video every day for a week and go from there...slowly. Right now, pretty much all of us have nothing but time. Wishing you all well.
I am seeing great results from doing this workout for the last month. I love the variety in it. What would you recommend as the next workout to step up (or row up :) ) to?
I'm very pleased with this row machine. My 15 year old had it put together in less than an hour. Machine works great!
This workout made me sweat as much as I do after a 45 min session. Good stuff here, adding this to my daily routine.
I made it! My first actual exercise in like 10 years, 90kg. Felt the burn at 10 minutes, felt the sweaty ness at 7, wanted to quit from 7 till 1, then I was determined to finish! So chuffed! Now just got to do it again every day from here on in 😅
Wow this is incredible!! I’m getting my rowing machine this Saturday! I can’t wait!! This’ll kick my ass, yeah baby!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Just ordered mine... Came straight to this video. A bit nervous after watching it but looking at comments really gave me some hope. I'm at 270 right now. Started my diet today. Let's see where it takes me.
Love this work out, great for us with a belly. Can’t believe I’m 30 seconds slower/500m...long way to go 😳
I just bought a rowing machine for myself. I had NO CLUE I can do this type of workout on it! I’m going to follow this routine and see what happens. Thank you for this video!❤
Update: I just did this workout and 😥 it is a great workout! I’m sticking with this!
I really just like listening to the fan, it's pretty soothing, to me at least
Same here
I'm just starting, been a stay at home dad for years so I do plenty of walking but no real exercise and I've developed a gut. I was once in the military so my goal is the USMC standard of rowing a 5k in 22 minutes. Thank you for these videos, I've discovered that rowing is by far my favorite workout and I'm able to pop down to the gym in the morning for 30 minutes and be home before the kids get up :D
Been looking for this for far too long....Great presentation...I'm on it, first thing in the morning...Thank you for sharing...
I'm new to this and have completed only 22 minutes @ 2.3 miles on this machine. Within just minutes I had lots of questions and these videos answered every one I had. I'm familiar enough with training to know that practicing good form is better than good effort. It felt great on some average out of sync rows but it's fantastic when you get all the movements as one.
I'm new to rowing, this is awesome. Thanks so much!!
Just got my new concept rower! This is my second one owned one 20 years ago I was lean and mean then 6’ 2 219 but now at 56 just mean weight got out of control hit 430 but am down to 335 now....still working rowed my first 15 min workout damm ain’t easy much easier when didn’t have belly but it’s going away. Luv the info thanks
Just set mine up on Wednesday.. I'm almost 200, had a back problem which made me less than ambulatory and I've gained about 60 pounds from this time last year. You can do it!!!
Haydee Correa thanks yeah I was always in tip top shape and never believed I’d let myself go but all good been working from home since April 1 lost 28lbs since then with just walking everyday and watching what goes in mouth lol. But took the plunge to buy another rower and so glad I did again. It ain’t easy but we will get there with a little hard work good luck 👍🍀
@@cryptocat9712 💯 I will be rooting for both of us!! I never believed walking could really help with weight-loss, but I have been doing it every day as well and see the difference! I don't go by weight but rather by how my clothes fit ;)
Haydee Correa yep for sure! Yeah loses them inches that’s what really counts lol
I've been watching the Dark Horse videos for several weeks and really enjoy these follow along workouts. This one is such a good one to learn technique. Thank you, Shane!
I have laid off the erg for 8 months, gained 8 pounds. time to get in shape for the summer. This is a great starting point to ease back into it. will do for the month of February and then progress to my usual 4 to 5 rows a week varying from 6K to 10 meters. Thanks for your great workout advice. May your oars never go dry.
Week one down; progressing to three. Love this workout. Engaging and fun 🤩
I found your video I needed a program to try....
I've never rowed before, so I've completed this 30min.
I feel comfortable doing this, with your interactions.
I'm feeling great.
Thank you
Still cracking on with this !!! Im getting so much better.....
Just picked up a concept 2 last week. I've done this workout Monday, and today. Did it Monday, and was obviously out of sync in places, etc, being new to this. So at the end, I wasn't nearly as winded as you seemed to be and thought; "This isn't that hard." LOL Uh-huh. Fast forward to today, I knew what to expect so I pretty much stayed right with you, and really focused on my SPM. By the 12-minute mark, I was feeling it, by the 8-minute mark, I was hurting, and the final two minutes whipped my but good! Thanks for doing these for us!!
We need a way to get our ErgData combined into a class for online rowing a la Peloton. Thanks for the workout!
First rowing workout of 2022 on my new rower. Never spent longer than a few minutes on any rower and I really enjoyed this!! Thanks!
That was a fun workout. Thank you! I'll revisit this regularly to drill the basics for sure!
So glad no one uses the rowing machine at my gym! I just put your videos and enjoy the ride
right when I was about to start, all strapped in and in my catch position... a UA-cam ad pops up.. you're gotta be kidding me!
Same thing
How about NOT putting ads in the middle of a work out follow along video? Beginning or end is fine
BTW, absolutely amazing videos man.
UA-cam determines where to place the ads.
Just did this one tonight. Half the distance, power, length etc. Lol I really liked it though. I just got the rower 2 weeks ago and I would say less than ideal fitness level. I'll keep at it though and see where it takes me.
Appreciate these workouts!! Thank you. Please keep doing them. I’m not an experienced rower but have been trying to do on my own. These have been great follow.
This is my 4th x using my new rower and decided to try your beginner class so I don't get bored. It was awesome! Looking forward to many more. Thanks
Just finished my first workout. Loved the drills, they are so helpful in helping me focus on form! Thank you so much for having so much wonderful information on your channel!
I’m a beginner. Today was literally my second day in my machine. Wow! It was much better rowing with you. Thanks!!!
I just purchased my own rower on amazon, and I can’t wait to get back into it after this video and your channel! Thank you for reigniting the flame, I’m so excited!! Totally subscribed
Gianna,
How is the Amazon rower working for you? What model did you get?
