61 years old. Covid survivor from May 2020. (Yes, it's taken that long to feel somewhat normal again.) Received my first rowing machine this week. Complete beginner just learning how to get back in the game and get toned and build up some body strength to stay healthy. Life is short. This is a super video for someone like me who has no idea how to row. THANK YOU!
Good that you work out, but please invest the same amount of time in researching all the Covid lies. This is far more important for your health.
@@shannonbenson8921 Haha yes not the best username... anyways, great that you are aware of whats going on.
You survived a common cold... 👏
@@Zurich80001 telling somebody that suffered from COVID and possible affects of long COVID that he shouldn’t believe the lies about COVID… do you understand how mental that sounds? I’m sure you “did your own research” so you know more that he does…
@@ello-nasty Do you think he suffered from Covid or maybe from mask wearing, or from sticking toxic swabs into his nose or maybe from the 24/7 fear mongering? Do you think putting a mask on for multiple hours is healthy? Have you read studies analyzing the bacteria and fungus that develops on masks within hours? Have you read studies which analyzed the contents of the swabs? This is just a scratch on the surface of the mountain of lies. The truth sometimes hurts but it's better to wake up to it, so please do your own research. If you need sources, I'm glad to provide them.
This was so fun dude...been rowing ever since!
There you are! You're on it, hope everyone follows your progresion!
Love both of your channels! This is AMAZING
My favorite RUclips gardener is rowing with my favorite RUclips row instructor
Awesome! Totally told my gf “hey, babe! It’s the plant guy!” 🌱
Hey it’s Kevin!! This is so cool. - Sean from Carlsbad!
Wow, two of my favorite channels got together. Literally, rowing and gardening are my exclusive post-COVID hobbies- only things I do aside from work. Both of these gentlemen's contents are gold!
FABULOUS demonstration of all the key rowing points. This is the perfect first-timer video, and a good refresher for the rest of us. Great job Shane.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you!
I honestly didn’t think I was going to notice the difference between push & pull, but that first stroke I immediately was like NOPE THAT WAS A PULL. LOL just got our first rower and your video taught me so much, thank you!
This guy is so me! "there's no way I've done that before!" (proper technique)
O my gosh lol. For some reason I am so happy you guys did a video together. I have found both of you on RUclips individually and follows both of you but had no idea you knew each other. This is awesome 😎
I found my back has been hurting due to rushing into rowing with my new machine. I have realised how much technique is needed and you've explained it so well, I shall give this a go. Thank you.
Thank you!!! Was literally ready to return our rower after one month ...so discouraged. You explained everything perfectly and I am getting it.
I just received my Concept2 Rower on Friday. Been doing the beginner videos the past 3 days. Perfect timing for this excellent video. Thanks!!
Fantastic!
@@DarkHorseRowing I plan to join your one of your memberships, should I focus on beginner videos here first or what do you recommend?
@@utfarley7563 My Concept2 BikeErg is coming on Friday been on the waitlist since late July. I've had the C2 rower for years - best $1k I ever spent. From what I hear the bikeerg is a blast. Enjoy your new toy!
Delightful to see Kevin on your channel. He has been a big influence on my gardening. Terrific lesson, Shane!
Thank you! I just revisited my form with the insight from this video. Awesome! So helpful.
This is one of the best tutorials on anything I've seen. Thanks so much for this
Great video thanks. My Concept2 arrives in a few days so I’ll definitely be watching this again (and again!)
Just ordered my first rower - the C2 - trying to learn as much as I can before it’s delivered. Thank you for this video - this will be my go to video when it finally arrives!
Happy you made this because my husband and I waited a month for concept2 and just starting out. These videos help to show us proper form. I want to tone and strengthen and am trying hard to lose 10-12 lbs. Hope this will get me to my goal and keep me motivated. We are both committed to 20 min at least for x3 wk. As we get better at this , we will increase. Thanks !
GREAT vid!! Everything you need to know to start off on the right stroke.
Today in São Paulo, it is the teacher's day, that God bless you, that your students continue to learn and that you continue to be a good teacher
I'm a new rower this video was gold thanks!
I was having trouble with feeling the power in the legs and over stimulating the biceps. A solution I discovered was wearing out the legs by doing some squats before hand. Although the workout was slower after the squats, I could now feeling how the activation and drive of the legs is supposed to feel. My split has been improving ever since and arms have been getting less tired.
This is one hundred percent my problem - my biceps are on fire and I don't feel like I'm getting much stress on the legs and they're suddenly straight. Still trying to figure it out.
@@sir4word I hope it's working for you now. I was like you and then... I heard it first and felt it second and that is my biceps tearing of the bone in my left arm. 😵💫 My surgeon calls a biceps tear the "pain maker".
Omg! A video with Kevin and rowing! 😍😍😍
This video helped me ALOT! I was death-gripping the bar such that I was getting calluses on both my hands. The loose grip works MUCH better! I only had my rowing machine for 3 weeks, but with correct technique, it seems like rowing is much easier. I started going barefoot with no straps, and my feet NEVER slips off the pedals! I start at level 6 and work my way up to level 10 (I do 5 minute intervals for each, then take a break). I'm glad that I subscribed to your channel. I still have to go thru alot of your videos. You ARE The Best!
I just got my first rower(concept 2). Thanks for the great videos. They are really helpful!!!
Shane , I’ve been rowing for years off and on., now 62. Self taught on the erg in my 30s and would row at the gym intermittently. Now I’ve got an ERG in them living r,oom. Originally I thought increasing stroke rate with the damper on a 10 was how you did it. I’ve improved immensely since focusing on stroke rate in your advanced work outs. And now understand how to generate power and resilience on the machine. I decided to watch you teach beginners and picked some nuances in my ow n form that I need to focus on. This is an excellent video! Thanks Mark
This video is great for us beginners. And Kevin is asking the right questions. Thank you!
Love this. Just got a b model and I'm a total newbie. Totally. Agree so much with the zen after my first play. This is so helpful thank you so much ❤❤❤
This was a great video! Thank you to both of you!
Wow, thank you the best instructional video on rowing I have seen! 👌
Excellent lesson!!! Thank you, Shane !
Fantastic explanation Shane, thank you for a great video!!
I started learning to row to prep for kayak season. Hubs and I fight for our workout spots on the water rower, so I got a used concept 2 with PM3 still in great shape. Your video tips ROCK for tweaking bad habits. I continue to revisit the fundamentals with a beginners mind...
I never enjoyed rowing til I found your videos man, I now look forward to adding it to my training, thanks man. 💪
I was like hey I know that guy! Love both of you guys channels!
Started rowing in Feb on a 5 day a week basis. Today have done the best row ever because I learned so much from this video and was able to make the corrections necessary to achieve my most successful most efficient row. Thankyou.
Always been a strong rower (fishing mostly) and I'm gettin' super fat lately, so I just bought my first rowing machine. Watched this video to prep and what do ya know, I'm subscribed to both of your channels now. Been watching Kevin for over a year now. Thanks for the videos.
Just got my first rower. Not an expensive one but after your video, it doesn't matter. I am working on my form by watching your videos. Thank you, they are a big help! I have a lot of health issues and trying to get back in shape. I get a workout by just working on my form with you. I love rowing!
Just bought a sunny rower, not sure of my commitment yet judging by past history. Excellent video! I'll watch again while actually on the machine. I'm excited!
So helpful! Thank you!
Hello- I am on the waiting list for a model D rower, in the meantime watching all your RUclips videos. I am excited!
Very informative, there is a lot to learn to do this correctly. Looking forward to the challenge.
Once again very informative, thank you.
Wonderful video. New rower and have been looking for an in-depth explanation - most videos just explain the basics in a couple of minutes. Thank you very much :)
That was so helpful, thankyou! I knew I was doing it wrong because I felt nothing in my legs. This cleared it up and gave a plan to lock it in learning. Awesome.
Well that’s a collaboration I wasn’t expecting… Nice!!
It is quiet, works great, and was super easy to install!!! What a great deal!!! I absolutely love it!!! I highly recommend it!!!
I got one from my friend.
I'm so excited to see that this has Kevin from Epic Gardening because I love his channel!
I just started the video i can already tell this is going to be absolute gold.
Oh it is! Hope you learned something too :)
Thanks so much, this was very helpful.
Great Introduction , so thank you!
By far the best comprehensive guide on how to row properly. Going to use this a stamp out some bad technique!
This video is great, comes 3 months late, but I learned all the best previously. Thanks to share this good video, from your most southern DH Member, greetings from Chilean Patagonia, Punta Arenas, Chile.
He was THE best student. Asked every question I was thinking and your responses were very intuitive to what he was trying to sort out in his mind. Just perfect!
Excellent instruction and a great lesson. I have to get a rower and practice.
Thank you! This is what I needed!
Great info about the feet, i have been pulling back against the foot straps on the recovery....great tip!
Glad it was helpful! Keep working at it
Omg I love this guy his garden is so amazing
Just cultivated your subscribe button as well. Been following Kevin for a while. I just order a row machine and doing some research before it gets here. I'm glad I stumbled on to this.
i love gardening and i recently got into rowing lol this video is awesome
Glad to find your videos! We’ve had this rower since 2020 and it’s just sitting gathering dust. I don’t know why it’s so intimidating but I have an irrational fear that I’m going to do it wrong lol
Best crossover ever. Epic gardening and rowing guy!
Taking this vid to the gym with me tomorrow. Tried the row machine two days ago and I’m inlove.
Damn. Following both, this is awesome.
Very helpful, thanks.
This was so good to watch, even for more experienced folks. You really got to see all those little 5-10% different things.
Also, I need 1.3 more seconds to see your dank memes/ concept 2 wiki entries. 🤪
Thank you!
Waiting on my rowing machine to arrive and this video has been a great incentive for me to learn to not just row but to row the correct and proper way.
Great video guys and very well presented. I feel I have a head start already on my new hobby.
It's a lot harder than it looks, honey. Every time I push back I spill my wine.
How has your rowing been?
@@luket6405 It has been good and progressive so far and most of all I am enjoying it.
This is an excellent explanation! It's the best I've seen so far. I received my Concept 2 a few days ago. The technique is surprisingly difficult/awkward, but like anything else, it will take practice. The other surprising thing about rowing is that there's almost no resistance after the first pull (on level 5). It's so light that I tried a few pulls with just one finger through the middle of the handle. (I was just curious; I won't continue that.) I'm still trying to figure it out, but I feel more encouraged now. I'll watch again a few times while playing along and see how it goes. Thanks for this video!
Brilliant video! Really helpful, and i'd love to see his progress here amd there too.
Make sure you follow him on IG as he posts about his rowing workouts sometimes!
@@DarkHorseRowing will do!
Thanks!
I think this is very useful video for beginners
Ahh, I saw the thumbnail and thought, "Is that Kevin?" It is! I'm way too excited lol
Wow. I just started using the hydro rowing machine at Planet Fitness and I was searching how to use the controls on the machine. I had no idea there was so much to the actual rowing. I am so glad I stumbled upon this. I can't wait to try this next time and definitely going to take off my shoes!
Breaking down the stroke cycle into its fundamental components-awesome. What a terrific way to help us train our muscle memory and motion patterns. Thank you!
I didn't realise you two knew each other. I literally follow you guys intently for separate things. I've just collected my million metres t-shirt. You hit the nail on the head when you said it's meditation. I started 2years ago rowing 2k... And I've completed marathons because of learning proper technique on this channel 👍
Nice work! Ya, we're both in SD and have a bunch of mutual friends so we enjoy connecting.
@@DarkHorseRowing I honestly can't tell you how much your coaching has helped me... And frustrated me. I can't stop seeing people row wrongly now!
Pushing the machine instead of pulling the handle is a really good concept I never thought about
Makes a huge difference
Thank you so much for this I started with my rower today and kept catching myself doing strokes so out of sync I started to feel like an idiot, definitely requires close attention for sure. I will have to watch this a hundred more times lol.
Excellent video! The pupil has to keep his head aligned and focus on the overall relaxation, especially as far as arms and shoulders are concerned 👍 Good job so far!
Wow, this is amazing. Thank you so much. SUBSCRIBED. "Just think about pushing the machine away."
So informative
I needed this
THANKS FRIEND FOR UR GREAT HELPING TEACH US ALSO
Thanks
*eyes wide* ooooooo *takin’ notes* thanks coach.
Great intro to rowing. I’ve been rowing two years and decreased my time 20% already this week.
Wow, I have been inefficient! My lower back thanks you!
I follow that guy Kevin on YT. He's got a boss gardening channel! You're pretty much neighbors, very cool..& I learned something~
it's weird when two yt channels you like, that have nothing to do with eachother, crossover like this haha. It's like finding out one of your friends is already friends with your other friend and you had no idea they knew eachother lol
Totally new to this but need to do something and my friend in a Norway introduced me to your videos! I am scared of falling off
Well, after 11 weeks on a waiting list I am taking delivery of my Concept2 on Thursday next week. I’ve done all the workouts, at least I’ve watched all the workouts. Your hints, tips and coaching are going to be invaluable to me. Push Don’t Pull ...... sorted lol.
Thanks. This is a perfect starter video for my wife to watch and learn without me sighing and being critical. She can then coach me. LOL
I can absolutely understand. If this were someone else I'd have my wife watch as well.
This video is gold - hearing you coach and Kevin essentially teach-back what he is understanding is so valuable for new rowers to hear and see, IMO. I think this can fast track the process for new rowers who are in the process of building their mental framework of how they see and understand rowing. Excellent as always, Shane.
Hi,
I have been seeing your videos on rowing. They are really great. Thanks for giving such wonderful information.
I am 70-year-old. You have indicated that it is very good for older people as well. I have very mild shoulder pain on the right side. No issue normally but increases if I do push up or plank. Hence not doing them. I like to know whether there is a possibility of shoulder pain increasing due to rowing.
I have been rowing with a waterrower for a long time. I had to stop for a few years (long story not for here) and have just restarted so I am like a beginner. I have learned a ton from this video. I have two areas that are a big question mark for me. How far to open the hips at the release. I see where some say about 11 degrees but it looks more like 30 -40. Also, I seem to slouch (I think that is the word you used) to sit too far back on my rump which after time causes discomfort in my coccyx area. If you have any thoughts - thanks. These videos are priceless. priceless
Glad you mentioned not to pull with the feet. I'd just assumed the staps were there to pull on.
I've never gotten the talk about “wasted energy”. Effort is effort, yeah? I guess it can be important if you're trying to be consistent so you can track your progress.
Thank you.. great class for a beginner like myself.. I have a belly and I feel like it gets in the way at the catch 😕
Same here. My knees bow out because of my stomach. Just more motivation to lose the weight! How has your progress been?
Nice,
Epic teaching video on rowing.Thank you so much. you are great teacher. planning to buy rowing machine, tried first time in the store, 3 strokes, got backache, that's because of probably faulty technique of mine. I am 50, can I learn at this age, is it advisable to buy
Just recently started rowing, this is definitely the best instruction I've encountered on the internet.
Question, I injured myself last week (ruptured Achilles tendon) and am in a boot. I have been doing the row machine and feel great doing it. Would you recommend i continue with my workouts although i do lose a bit of form because of the boot. Or just stop altogether until im off the boot. I will be in the boot for another 2 weeks at least, i just don't want to lose any cardio .
Very nice enjoyed this one! Only problem was I couldn’t stop 🤣😹🤷
Nice vid
good video
