Hi! Love your videos and inspiration! I was wondering about the video you mentioned about making your own plyo box…for future reference. Would you mind sharing, please?
Hello, I just got a rowing machine whit a goal of losing weight, unfortunately, I didn't have money to get concept rowing machine so I got domynos 500 from decathlon in Europe. So I would be grateful if you could give me some pointers on what should I do and how to start. Thanks in advance.
Great channel which I just found a few weeks ago. I´ve never done any kind of work out/gym etc, but finally at age 35 decided to buy a rowing machine to give it a 100% go to get into shape. I have literally just done it for a few weeks with the aim to loose 10kg (down to 80kg), and so far I do 30 min (6 x 5 min intervals) each morning 6 days a week, amounting to roughly 5km, and… if I can trust the display, a 1,200 calorie burn. My question is basically; is that even "realistic" to burn 1,200 each session? I´ve read elsewhere things like "a good rowing session can have you burn up to 500 calories". That´s why I want to understand if 1,200 is even realistic to avoid getting disappointed 1-2 months later when I realize on the scale that it wasn´t. 🙂
I’m coming to this late, but thank you for such a helpful video. In January I started rowing on the water rower at our gym, and watched your videos for proper rowing technique. I’m now rowing several times a week, between 15 to 30 minutes each time. Today I was able to row consistently at 1:55/500m, which isn’t that impressive but it was an improvement from 3:35/500m when I first started (5’3”, 49yo woman getting most of my exercise from walking 10,000 steps or more per day). Again, thanks for the helpful advice/encouragement!
I've been erging for over 2 years now… i started around 230lbs, now down to about 208. I have 2.3 million meters on the erg. My goal is 100k per month, with a 5k/under 20min workouts. For me diet is now the key to the remainder of the weight I want to loose…. If I burn 330 cal per workout, that's 6600 calories per month. If I can cut 250 cal from my daily diet, that's another 7500 cal per month. As a side note, my overall physical well being is greatly improved… knee and back pain both pretty much eliminated. As an over-50 guy, erging has put me into the best overall fitness I have ever had. Thanks for the videos… great motivation!
Love the channel! Just did the 1k challenge for concept 2 and took 6th in the US (shocked!). Now I am obsessed with getting 1st next year. Can you do a video on techniques for doing a competition? Please. How to work through the misery, when to go hard, when to pace? Much appreciated, keep up the awesome videos.
Great video, and thanks for inspiring me on my fitness journey. I have been dealing with hip and back pain for almost a year now and was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am currently 302 lbs (down from 325). I walk daily but add in a light rowing workout (about 6 min – 2 days a week), concentrating mostly on form and keeping my core engaged. I have even done several leg-only workouts on the rower on days when I needed to be extra careful. It has been a great way to break up the monotony of walking and my normal therapy. I look forward to the day when I am able to put more effort into my workout, but for now, nutrition and rehab are the order of the day. I'm hopeful I'll be able to escape back (or hip) surgery, but if not, that's ok. Thanks again!
Great vid thanks. Just found your channel a couple of days ago. Its got a great feel and high quality information. I do have a question, I am 8 weeks post bariatric surgery (with a hernia repair so cant do anything like this for another month on doctors orders). Given my food intake is now so low, what would you recommend as a starting point and moving onwards. I am basically having to consume less than 4oz of food at each meal and supplement with 2 protein shakes a day to keep the protein in the correct zone. Still energy is not fantastic but am committed ot getting a rowing machine and getting going … Thanks for your channel and content
Hi Dark Horses I find that you need two motive factors for the gym yes you want to look good and lose weight but my other reason is that I can D stress on the rower,because I am a business owner and I know what I need to do, so my mind can play out that day or go over the next day ,so when Ive come off the rower I will have a better mind set, to when I got on.
Hi, I’m 14, almost 15 and I’m wondering if you have any general tips for someone that will be starting rowing this summer. I paddled for 7 years and I am extremely active. I play volleyball soccer and do triathlons mainly and I do them all at a high level, and I am starting rowing through RBC Training ground, Canada. Thanks 🙂
Edit: Also I am 6 foot 2.5 inches with more growing to do and 145 pounds, if that can help
Really appreciate #1: Be 100% committed. Great point you make that you must start here on any journey to a long-term change or goal. Sometimes I find that I think I'm committed when I'm really not. It definitely takes more than just talk or self-talk, but knowing yourself and what you truly want. And then believing you can get there. Thanks for this today, Shane.
Daaangg. thanks so much for the shout out and so glad the video was useful for you! Also, loved your 6 and 28 comparison; so, so true! One little tidbit I'll leave here which is the best advice I've ever gotten and relates to your number 2: "It's easier to act yourself into a new way of feeling than it is to feel yourself into a new way of acting". Cheers!
Fats hold a lot of not nice stuff you ate/produced/medicated while you put on the weight. When we take the weight off it can be a bit of a mood roller coaster.
You can also have a histamine like reaction when you get working out hard for the first while. It will pass. Things will get better.
If you had been any kind of nice I would have removed the comment. Way to go D Horse and thank you for your understanding…….
Not being able to fast forward is a hindrance. I can't go back and watch something again without having to rewatch the entire video. Very impractical!
11:08 had to turn on subtitles just to see if you said can’t or can lol😜😂, that aside great video😁👍🏻
I have hit a plateau. I was doing 45 minutes a workout. The rowing machine is addicting. What can I do to break the plateau

It seems like my legs get involved too late in my drive. From about 11 to noon I'm only pulling . How to fix? Thanks.
I lost over 55lbs rowing at one point. Then got lazy and added back 25lbs. Just restarted this week.
