Literally just ordered my Concept2 Model D today to get myself started on indoor rowing. I am a fair bit overweight and have high blood pressure. I know this is just a tool in the box, but I'm looking forward to starting my journey to becoming a healthier version of myself. Thank you for inspiring me to make the leap into rowing.
@@luket6405 fantastic, thanks! Nothing else like a tough rowing workout for all-round fitness. Currently working through the 'Pete Plan' alongside my regular CrossFit classes. Paired up with a Polar HRM and the Concept2 Erg app and my stats are improving weekly.
This was my first intermediate workout and I loved it! I cannot say enough how helpful and encouraging it is to follow along with these videos. After a little over a month rowing 3-4 times a week my progress and growth is really exciting to me.
Same when I started I just kept doing the preloaded workouts but now I need more motivation and these videos really help me try new workouts and keep up the motivation. Good luck to you and everyone else on their journeys.
After my rowing machine sat idle for an embarrassing amount of time, I decided to hop back on again. In the past I'd try listening to music or finding something on Netflix. I would eventually get bored and restless, thinking of all the other things I'd rather be doing... Then I found Dark Horse, and I'm on my 5th day "in a row" of rowing along! I love how everything is broken down into small chunks of time, and I can easily follow along. My machine's little computer things eats batteries so fast, that it might as well be dead. But I just mirror the stroke rate that I see in the video, adjust the effort accordingly, and it's exactly what I need every time. When I'm done, I feel great, and I'm actually looking forward to the next morning to do it all over again. Thanks for making these!
I’ve loved following along with your workouts,I didn’t think your videos could get any better! The added music and reduced fan noise makes all the difference though. One of my favorite aspects about rowing was the team mentality, specifically knowing that you needed to push your limits every workout because the only way the boat moves faster is if everyone gets faster. Your channel definitely helps fill that’s missing part of individual workouts. It’s amazing to be part of the Dark Horse crew!
I did this on resistance 4 but feel I could have sweated more so I think it’s time to increase my intensity, I’ve been rowing for about 6 weeks together with weights so I’m pretty proud of myself!
Please please pretty please don’t put ads during recovery periods, in the middle of the workout. It ruins the flow and the groove of the workout. Please place them between the chapters or before the video. I will gladly watch them. Thanks 🙏
and why so many? interruptions like that mess up the rhythm bc you have to stop to skip them so you can keep going. a year later since this comment and it is still happening and he never even acknowledged reading your comment 👎
They don't really control ads like that. Your best bet is to get youtube premium. I watch more youtube than all other streaming services combined, so it is really worth it!
@@andypham4216 actually ads can be moved and placed where they want them. if he doesnt do it thats not yt’s fault. and youre wrong. i used to have the paid version and ads were still a problem. yt didnt fix it thats why i canceled it. it was a waste of time and money. this video is so old he doesnt even read the comments. he doesnt seem to acknowledge seeing them nor reply. oh well…. good thing there are other channels that care!!!
Shane, thanks so much for the video on hurting knees and how to not bring your heels up. I did that for a few days while doing this workout, and today I did it without the stop and it works great! I'm getting so much more out of this workout now. thank you!
Cool! 👍🏼 Had a good sweat!🥵😁💪🏼 I love to be a #darkhorse!🤜🏼🤛🏼 I‘m on track since 7 weeks and rowed 132 km by today! Thank you, Shane for your great workouts and content on this channel!
I appreciated the mention of your distance/pace for the first interval. I'm never sure how to set my pacing. It's good to know that a 2:00/500 is a reasonable intermediate pace for someone who rowed in college. No doubt you can push much faster/harder, but now I know that I don't necessarily have to always be pushing for a 1:45 or 1:50 pace.
YES! It's totally doable to get great workouts at different pacing and in fact it's really helpful to be able to moderate pacing so you can achieve different benefits.
I think Shane is a fantastic coach and this would be a great follow along video if I didn't have to spend every rest period re-syncing from the ads. It seems to add another every time I watch it. I don't begrudge you making money for your time, but once the ads start reducing the actual value of the video, I'm out. Thank you for giving a tremendous start on this equipment.
I really enjoy your workouts. I did miss your chatter during this workout...that seems to come later with your other videos! What really has become valuable to me is following your stroke...I always sat seats 2 thru 8 when I was actually in a boat because my steady stroke rate is terrible!
this was a great workout. I am really starting to appreciate the value of low rating when it comes to connecting the quads and the 'push'. I am noticing a difference. Thank you Rate Master ! (shane)
In your setup you say a 1 min rest, yet your on screen description shows set rest time 2 min. The video goes on to do a 1 min rest. This totally messes up the follow along!! Please fix!!
Yes apologies. Mixup with the editor. Once we post we're unable to edit a video any further so it's good at least that you know it's only a 1 minute rest now and thank you for bringing to our attention.
I have been rowing with you for the last 4 months. I started out learning the machine and than did your beginning work outs than work my way up . I want to try the advance work because I'm not loose weight . Maybe I need to cut something out of my diet. I love works. I can my mussels are getting stronger.
this one reminded me of a speed interval workout I use 4x1000M/3:00R. the rest is longer, but its max effort for each 1000M interval, which takes ma near 4 minutes. being short I usually hang around a stroke rate around 26 to 28. I'm interested to give this a try to see how things change.
Love this workout! I started rowing in March after years of not working out at all! I row 3-4 times a week. Taking it slow but progressing at a steady rate with Dark Horse Rowing. Love how this is broken up into segments with a rest in between, this way i don't get bored and seems like the workout goes fast. I do have a hard time with the slow stroke rates, I always feel like i want to go faster b/c when i get to the catch it seems too simple. Does that make sense? Any tips? Thanks Shane!
Shane, love your workouts. Question on the return. It looks like your arms drop slightly then come back up, almost a “light U”. Am I seeing that correctly? Is that to make sure your knees don’t come up too early? Thanks!
Loved the workout, but I was no where near as out of breath as you, and followed along exactly. My exertion doesn't seem to be the same , does being shorter make such a difference I wonder.
So just to be clear, when I'm doing intervals the 'rest' portion doesn't mean that I stop rowing/get some water/stand up, it means that I still row but with no intensity?
Hi! Nice video, very instructive! I only like to know that pace are, 16/18/20/22, stroke per minute? Or something else I presume. Thank you so much for your help and keep the good work!
Hi. I‘m a physical therapist. Generally yes, it‘s good. But as you can see, you need almost full range of motion. If you have (almost) full rom, it‘s a great machine for you. No impacts whatsover and you workout a big part of your body.
Hey Mr. Farmer what am I doing wrong, my legs dont feel like they are working very much. My arms seem to be doing all the work. I have an older Concept 2, the screen has non of the features our programming ability you speak of in your videos. cCan I get a newer screen somewhere for this machine? Jim A.

I’ve been doing the beginner workouts for a couple of weeks but feel that im not getting a workout. I did this today and felt the same. When I used to spin, I felt it. This feels pretty mellow. Concerned im doing something wrong, im almost 60, fat but have always been strong and an athlete. Maybe I’ll not pulling hard or fast enough?
Hi Shane, I've been doing your workouts every morning before breakfast for just over a month, I've done beginner, intermediate and once I did an advanced one, really enjoying it !! but the last one I did left me with a very sore left shoulder, can you give me any tips on what to do to get back to painless?? should I carry on rowing ?? thank you
What about maths?) You can burn 500-600 kcal by one workout, but then eat 800 kcal burger!😁 That's why my opinion is there are no fat loss workouts) The most important is to be balanced in your diet in the kitchen))) Shane, because of you my PM-monitor says over 7 000 000 meters! Respect my man🤝🏻💪🏻 from Georgia🇬🇪(not in the USA)!!!
hello, what is your split time when rowing , are you focusing pushing hard as u can ? or focusing on regular split time base, or only keeping the rythm as consistent as possible ? thx !
Nice, a few months ago i tore a quad and hadn't been able to do what i was, of course put on heaps of weight Ive my Xebex for a week ( i know its not a C2) , every night going from starting at 5 minutes to 20 and first time today did this workout and with the structure i really loved it , can already feel a change in the week Ive had the rower and look forward to keeping it up. Thanks for the efforts.
Call the concept 2 company. They sell PM5 but you need to buy the right attachment for your model. I recently bought a PM5 to put on my Model B. The fellow at Concept 2 was very nice and helpful. Paid over the phone, it arrived in a couple of days, came with a bracket to put it on , easy as pie. It is a lot more fun to have it than the old monitor that came with the Model B. Costs about $180.
When rowing along to this workout on my ipad, I now get adverts popping up during the workout duration which mess up the timing when trying to row along with you. Your video stops, plays ad and then starts again ... meanwhile my timer continues to countdown and I end up rowing ahead of you. Is there a techie fix for this, please, I don't see ads when viewed on pc just when viewing on the ipad which I use with my C2?
Pay for youtube premium and it goes away. One can run an Adblocker as well but that hurts his income stream and he dont get papid for the content and might just stop doing these..
@@Moronicsmurf Thanks, for the comment. You're right. The ads caught me off guard when rowing along as it's the first time they've ever appeared during rowing time, I think maybe it's a recent addition?
We have this rower in our basement. It’s my girlfriend. She uses it regularly with no results. I think she “half ass” rows. She watched sitcoms on her IPad during the workout. I’m going to see if she is willing to try this instead.
Hi I’m nearly 50 and realised I’m out of shape now, I’m ex forces (RAF). I need a low impact way to get back into shape (I’ve been run off me bike twice). I’m thinking about a water rower or should I choose something else? It’s going to be for home use as I work weird hours.
I really like the feel of a water rower. It’s smoother and quieter than a C2. Downside is that you can’t compare erg times reliably with others. See if you can try any rower out first to make sure you like it.
I’m not a member of any gym, personally I have always liked the outside sports. I ran x country was really good but now knees will not take the strain. So I’m looking at the concept 2 D, or the water rower. I’m a quick learner so I just need to find out what one is best.
I like the water rower best but if I was planning to compete, the C2 is better. Rowing on real water in a scull is best of all. If you enjoy outdoor activities, you should check that out too.
My main objective is to get or close to being fit at my age without getting injured. But seriously I don’t want to compete but just to get fit again. The financial cost is not a concern but the type is.
Hey Captain Drunken Monkey! :) I had the same "problem" when I was looking to buy a rower and I went with the original WaterRower. I chose it over the concept machine for two reasons, the first one is the quietness (it's so quiet you can have a sleeping baby next to it and the water sound is soothing, while the concept sounds like a bloody chainsaw) and the second one being the looks of it. You can put it in your living room and your wife will actually like the design. Now on the knees side, if you're sensitive on your knees then definitely the waterrower (the original one with the low rail) the flat rail gives less knee compression and so is a bit better on the knees. On the positive side, I had knee problems since I was a child and I still get some but since I got into rowing it's much better. I still can't do old good weighted squats with my max capacity because it hurts, same with the deadlift, I just can't approach my max because my knees will kill me but at least I can do about 50-70% with 7-8 reps. If you're looking to compete, then Concept2 is more common in competition and it's becoming the industry standard so it might be better, but I know some competing rowers who still train on the waterrower at home and compete on the concept2. Feel free to ask anything, I went through this and I trained on both machines.
Next time show the monitor during the workout! It would only take a small square in one of the corners of the video. Shouldnt impact your ego too much.
This was my first workout on the concept 2 and I freaking love it ! I was so excited that I’ve made 12 intervals on the first try ..I am sweating like a crazy 😂thank u a lot 4 this content mate 😊👍🏼..
My favorite part of this video is when I’m coming into the catch and Shane looks over to check the camera - but it looks like he’s giving me the “don’t you dare half ass this” side eye. 😂
Hey mate... really enjoyed following this along... I was buzzing so much that I ended up going for a run afterwards too :-)... It is annoying when YT adds start playing though.. perhaps time to convert to paid YT sub afterall. #darkhorse
I joined a gym about a month ago and from watching your videos I learned how to use the rowing machine. The first time I I used it I had it at the hardest level and I used it for an hour.
Hi Shane! I have a PM2 monitor! I'm actually limited on the amount I can push on each stroke because of old knee and ankle injuries. That said, by paying attention to my form (from your videos!) I can do more meters in 30 minutes than I did when I bought the rower almost 20 years ago.
@@DarkHorseRowing After watching your video I reduced my drag from 130 to 120 and found I could generate better power from a lower stroke rate without my knees complaining - not what I expected but cool to discover.
Ok. Rookie question. I don't own a Concept 2 (wish i did, tho). I have one of those Merach rowers that i actually kinda like (I got it for free from a friend). Now, I have access to and use a Concept 2 at my gym, though I do more workouts at home. This one does only miles and uses levels 1-5, I think. Any advice on how program it to match the intensity of the Concept2 or other like rower?

Ok after 3 months of working out to the beginner videos (which somehow I find more exhausting), I think this is my go-to video from now on.

Not dumb! I've wondered this myself!
Yes
What is the ERG app?
So fn good !
I'm new to rowing Is 10 the highest for drag/resistance. I always use 10 is that good?
I like the music.... what is it ?
It's that going to help me with loosing belly fat?
I rarely use the rowing machine....but are you going slow??
what is purpose of such low SR?
What your split time, I can’t get below 1.50

I like the water rower best but if I was planning to compete, the C2 is better. Rowing on real water in a scull is best of all. If you enjoy outdoor activities, you should check that out too.
My main objective is to get or close to being fit at my age without getting injured. But seriously I don’t want to compete but just to get fit again. The financial cost is not a concern but the type is.
Hey Captain Drunken Monkey! :) I had the same "problem" when I was looking to buy a rower and I went with the original WaterRower. I chose it over the concept machine for two reasons, the first one is the quietness (it's so quiet you can have a sleeping baby next to it and the water sound is soothing, while the concept sounds like a bloody chainsaw) and the second one being the looks of it. You can put it in your living room and your wife will actually like the design. Now on the knees side, if you're sensitive on your knees then definitely the waterrower (the original one with the low rail) the flat rail gives less knee compression and so is a bit better on the knees. On the positive side, I had knee problems since I was a child and I still get some but since I got into rowing it's much better. I still can't do old good weighted squats with my max capacity because it hurts, same with the deadlift, I just can't approach my max because my knees will kill me but at least I can do about 50-70% with 7-8 reps. If you're looking to compete, then Concept2 is more common in competition and it's becoming the industry standard so it might be better, but I know some competing rowers who still train on the waterrower at home and compete on the concept2. Feel free to ask anything, I went through this and I trained on both machines.

Hi, I did this Workout on my Cheaper Version of a Waterrower.
And my Display shows 2.56 Kilometer. 🤔
What does the Display of the Concept 2 show?
Workout is good, but the video is undermined by the incessant adds
Next time show the monitor during the workout! It would only take a small square in one of the corners of the video. Shouldnt impact your ego too much.
I really enjoy your videos, but you do A Lot of talking...😂. I be ready to start my watch but have to wait until you stop talking. I just fast forward
Awesome!!
You're awesome!
Hello Shane's dog.
How do I know what resistance to set my machine too? I'm brand new at this. I'm worried I won't set it high enough for a good workout.
This was my first workout on the concept 2 and I freaking love it ! I was so excited that I’ve made 12 intervals on the first try ..I am sweating like a crazy 😂thank u a lot 4 this content mate 😊👍🏼..
Push don’t pull 4 life!
YESSS!
My favorite part of this video is when I’m coming into the catch and Shane looks over to check the camera - but it looks like he’s giving me the “don’t you dare half ass this” side eye. 😂
Hey mate... really enjoyed following this along... I was buzzing so much that I ended up going for a run afterwards too :-)... It is annoying when YT adds start playing though.. perhaps time to convert to paid YT sub afterall. #darkhorse
I joined a gym about a month ago and from watching your videos I learned how to use the rowing machine. The first time I I used it I had it at the hardest level and I used it for an hour.
Hi Shane! I have a PM2 monitor! I'm actually limited on the amount I can push on each stroke because of old knee and ankle injuries. That said, by paying attention to my form (from your videos!) I can do more meters in 30 minutes than I did when I bought the rower almost 20 years ago.
The work is in the details!
@@DarkHorseRowing After watching your video I reduced my drag from 130 to 120 and found I could generate better power from a lower stroke rate without my knees complaining - not what I expected but cool to discover.
Ok. Rookie question. I don't own a Concept 2 (wish i did, tho). I have one of those Merach rowers that i actually kinda like (I got it for free from a friend). Now, I have access to and use a Concept 2 at my gym, though I do more workouts at home. This one does only miles and uses levels 1-5, I think. Any advice on how program it to match the intensity of the Concept2 or other like rower?
How about obese people who can't even make a full stroke because of their belly?
Do what your range of motion allows you!
@@Ноло-г8д Kind of obvious but nevertheless thanks for an answer :)
Hi, Shane has a video 'Rowing For Different Body Types...Which one are YOU?' ruclips.net/video/E0zmtoyb7vk/видео.html
@@kimmacfarlane5167 Thank You for pointing it out...fun fact that I watched it already but totally forgot xD
What a great workout. Did the Beginner ones, but thought I'd try this. Feeling it! Thanks!!

Whilst I appreciate everyone is different, can you give us an idea of what 500m splits we should be aiming for?
Great workout! I'm a beginner and excited that I was able to complete this video!
