Hey. Sorry to hear that. What I mention at 3:35 in this video might be contributing. I'll add this to my list of videos to make though. Please let me know if you have other questions or this doesn't help.

Sorry to hear about the back and neck. Is the back your upper or lower back? The tips in this video will hopefully help with the neck, but please feel free to reach out if you have questions.

Thanks for sharing. Hope this helps!

You could use any. Research does show that the ones that go around your chest are usually more accurate and I find with rowing, how the arms are moving, the wrist ones aren't always accurate. Polar is the gold standard brand. I'll put a link in the description.

Hey Andrea. Sorry to hear about the shoulder. Yes, these exercises could be helpful in addition to rowing, however depends a little on what level you are at with your shoulder. Give them a try and if they hurt or are easy, I'd adjust. This video gives a pretty well rounded grouping of exercises, so you could do more, but these are a great starting point.

Hey. Sorry to hear about your ankle. Is it getting better? I also have a video on rowing with a belly that might help.

Hey. Sorry to hear about your ankle. I am doing a bit of traveling but can add a video like this to my list for when I get home.

Hey. When do you get this pain?

@@TheRowingDoc usually pushing off when I drive with my legs.

Hey. Sorry to hear about your groin. Do you get the pain when you move your back like leaning forward, backwards, rotating, or sidebending? Sometimes groin pain can come from other areas like the back. It's good you've been cleared and don't have a hernia, but if there is a smaller range of motion you can row in without causing the mild pain, I'd recommend doing that rather than pushing through without knowing exactly what's going on. If it continues, I'd recommend following up with a physio or MD to make sure something isn't developing or getting worse. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

@TheRowingDoc Thank you! I get pain when I lean forward, strain my abdomen, or do any exercise that includes jogging, jumping, or any lifting.

@@vishnuraja1760 Hey. Is it getting any better over time or worse?

Hey! Sorry to hear about the shoulder pain. I'm glad the video was helpful and thanks so much for the sub! If you have specific questions, feel free to reach out, always happy to help.

Thanks and hope it helps! :)

Hey Jezz. Please note this isn't medical advice since this is just on YT, but listen to your body and ease into it. If you get more pain or discomfort, stop. But yes, you should be good to start gentle, see how it goes, and increase intensity as you are able if you are cleared for activity.

Hey. So glad you figured it out and hope it helps!

You're welcome! Hope it helps :)

Hey. Sorry to hear about the pain. Here's a link to a video that might help, I also put it in the description in case anyone else needs it. ruclips.net/video/k_FvLxMno68/видео.html

Thanks so much. :)

Hey. Thanks so much for the comment and sorry about the neck and headaches. Hope it gets better soon!

@@TheRowingDoc Ok, I've now rowed three times, and no neck or head pains! Thank you again!

You’re welcome :)

Thanks so much. More coming soon.

Yes :) glut med needs some love sometimes.

Hey. Thanks so much and glad you are enjoying rowing!

Happy to help and yes. Rowing is for everyone! :)

Hey. Sorry if the video wasn’t helpful. Totally agree that any movement is better than none and I’m so happy you see people improving daily. Me too :) I was trying to help answer one persons specific question and apologies if I failed. Excited to keep seeing people improve and work on themselves however they choose to do it.

Hey Sarah. So sorry for the delayed answer. I was on a two week vacation and just getting back. I'd recommend checking out this video about the damper setting which impacts the drag factor. I would go more for time and mixing up your rows than increasing the drag factor. Let me know if this video doesn't help or you have other questions. ruclips.net/video/FINm4t97B9U/видео.html

@@TheRowingDoc Thanks so much. I learned the hard way that it is best to keep it lower for now. I tried increasing and it did wind up giving me more trouble... I think I'll heed your advice and just keep it low for a while longer and work more on increasing time. Thanks again. You've been a huge help!

Hey. I just did a series on hip pain that might be useful. It’s not specific to hip clicking but the concepts are for the most part interchangeable. I’ll make a hip clicking one next month for you. But to start video 1/2/3 in this might help. Start here. ruclips.net/video/sHFRdMy0HTU/видео.htmlsi=TlsGpNi9Nd6tX0wf

@@TheRowingDoc Thank you so much I just watched all of them, looking forward to trying out your suggestions and exercises. I'll keep an eye out for that video then 👀

Hey Sarah. Thanks for reaching out and glad they are helpful! Foot stretcher height will change the pressure at the hip. I think I mention it in video 2. Which is here:ruclips.net/video/4dEigiKR0TI/видео.html Yes, altering the drag factor will change how hard it feels and if you don't have great connection with the machine, then you will notice it more with a higher drag factor. Let me know if that helps or if it doesn't quite answer your question.

@@TheRowingDoc Thanks so much. I still didn't catch the foot stretcher height part. I am guessing a lower height is better? I can't seem to find the right spot... Although I think the biggest issue for me is likely they are not strong enough. I appreciate your reminder that they aren't as strong as we think! I appreciate the exercise recommendations. I'll be giving them a try for sure. And the drag is another one I'm struggling to find my sweet spot. I have a Hydrow, which I know operates a bit different than others. Theor drag of 104 is supposed to mimic the water but I am just getting back to rowing and am a super wimp right now and find that a bit too hard. However, when I go too low it seems my legs don't engage enough/properly and I use my back too much. But I guess it something I just have to play around with more. Thanks so much for you help.

Hope it helps! :)

Hey. Thanks so much for reaching out. Sorry to hear about the shin. I have a video on shin/top foot pain that might help. Let me know if it doesn't. ruclips.net/video/-8r6r6OxxGQ/видео.html

Is this okay

Hey. Thanks so much for reaching out. Great to hear you are rowing! Depending on your spasticity, really just stay in a comfortable range that you can comfortably do with some control. For the belly and knees, checkout this video, it might help. Let me know if it doesn't and you still have questions. :) ruclips.net/video/Sj_GcbDGQ7c/видео.html

Hey Rafael. Thanks so much. Yes you are right. Someone else has mentioned it too. I am working on getting my sound and everything better one video at a time. Thanks for bearing with me and hopefully one day I will figure out sound, editing, and all of it, but for now I am a one person team and doing my best, but continuing to learn. Appreciate the input and support. :)

Hey. Great question. Honestly any movement is great. If your goal is just losing weight or burning calories, this won't really have a huge effect as it is still a really similar movement and that's the key. I'd say stick with what you have and see if you enjoy it. If you do and like it, then maybe upgrade but for now, it should do the trick. Happy rowing.

Thanks so much :)

You're welcome!

Of course. Happy to and hope it helps!

Thanks so much! Happy rowing!

This is a great tip. Thanks so much for sharing!

Definitely :)

Thanks so much :)

Thank you!

@@TheRowingDoc just did your tip for ankle mobility and it felt like a game changer. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it :) @@crayzmarc
