Thanks for checking out our newest video with UCanRow2 Master Rowing Instructor Cassi Niemann! Make sure to like, subscribe, and check out the other videos in our rowing series.
Separating out the specific parts and tools for each of the seven step assembly process steps was brilliant on the part of the manufacturer. For the price, I am impressed at how sturdy this ruclips.net/user/postUgkxvObaTzoHoHQLL4lHbJQmExHqsrZQm-f7 unit is and it does go together easily. Well, I was puzzled at first at Step 5 and maybe the instructions should mention that rail #62 needs to be tilted upwards a little to get the rail to fit into the main part #44. I like it that the rower can be stored vertically in a really small amount of space, but be forewarned that this rower is top heavy and for safety you'll need at least two bungee cords to keep the unit upright, attaching them to something; in my case to a third garage door. I have had this unit only a short time, and I will post an update once I've had it for a year. As for working your legs, I have to admit that I'm mainly rowing for upper body strength and I use other forms of exercise for leg strength (like walking fast, biking, or using a trampoline. But if you pull as far forward as possible, then you can give preference to your legs for the first 4 feet or so of travel. I also admit to not taking the two electronic connectors apart at Step 7. I simply inserted the two batteries while the other parts remained connected. By the way, there is plenty of resistance here, even in the lowest resistance settings. Kudos to Sunny Health & Fitness !
I just got a new rower and I’m looking forward to improving my health! Thank you for the tips. This is quite differ than rowing from a fixed seat like the fishing boats I have rowed.
This is a great video that I just happened upon and easily describes some of the more important points to rowing on the concept 2 for those starting out. There is so much to consider in rowing but most of it can be fine tuned, once you have rowed many miles or kilos, you figure out what works best for yourself. I love the "push not pull" comment by the instructor as it explains one of the easiest ways to start rowing poorly if you just make it an upper body exercise. As I get older, the rowing machine and the Concept 2 in particular is my go to exercise to maintain my core and cardio in a low impact way. Great job on the video!
Thank you, clear and easy to follow advice. I'm hoping to take delivery of my C2 Model D tomorrow and have been looking for a "before you take a stroke - do this" instruction set. Best regards, Pete, Portsmouth UK.
Just ordered mine, I seen you made this comment a year ago. So my question to you is after a year how do you feel about the rower and did you meet your expected goals of getting in shape using it. I hope with weight lifting and rowing I can turn my body and mind around and get fit again.
I just viewed your video on the three most common rowing errors in which you talk about the last 30% of the stroke involveing the upper body and arms. As Duke Ellington said, "It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing." So that video clarified the nuances of the stroke, thanks.
So, it is pushing😁 i thought it is all about pulling the handle bar, i just finished my diy rowing machine then i catch your video about 5 things. 😁. Thank you🙏🙏🙏
Great video, thank you! I have had my C2 Erg for a month now and I love it! My core is pretty weak from having kids and surgeries so maybe it's a weak core issue, but I'm having trouble with pain in my lower back as well as underneath my legs (where they meet my butt) hurts a lot where during a workout I have to stop and reposition myself on the seat. Super annoying bc I'm focused and I don't want to stop my workout. Does that make sense? What am I doing wrong? TIA
Are you sitting far enough back in the seat? Sitting too far forward means your lower back bends too much. Get your , pardon the term, asscheeks back in the seat like the video says. Back a little further than you think. It’ll straighten your back a little and take weight of you coccyx (tail bone). You want to make sure there no pressure coming on it at any point in the stroke. It might also remedy the underside of your legs but that might be a separate issue. I’m not qualified to give any advice but definitely make sure you’re sitting well back on the seat.
I'm in the market for a fitness machine either a Treadmill or Rowing machine. I'm leaning toward the Rowing Machine and the Concept 2. Learning from your instruction a lot, thank you. After step-5, you did pull the handle (elbow passed the body), after pushing with the leg. Did I get that correct?
Although you push with your legs, once they are fully extended, you then lean back and pull with your upper body to finish the stroke, thus making it a two part movement involving both lower and upper body strength.
The only true test of whether your technique is sound on the erg is if you do it in a shell on the water. If you do not row on the water it’s all speculative. It’s about drag factor not damper setting. It’s on the pm. Should be between 110 and 115. Guessing she never rowed at a d1 or d2 school.
@ #5 Been rowing for more than 35 years, and I _still_ haven't managed to integrate this into my mechanics. Even though I know intellectually what I need to do, I have not been able to do it. Which is a shame, because I'm 6'3", 230 lbs, so a strong, long-levered physique. Me = Wasted Resources. LOL

Love this lady. She is a great instructor
I've had my Concept 2 for a few years and this is by far THE best preparation video I've ever seen - just subscribed.
Best advice I've seen as a beginner rower. Thanks.

Holy crap number 3 is a game changer. Thank you
I just got a new rower and I’m looking forward to improving my health! Thank you for the tips. This is quite differ than rowing from a fixed seat like the fishing boats I have rowed.
This information was excellent. Love her straight-forwardness and humor. Thank you!
I so wish this excellent instruction had been available when I first started rowing. Thank you!
You’re wonderful, I have a concept 2 and almost never use it….youve helped me feel more comfortable

Very Nice !
Thank you for sharing this.
Great tutorial. I have watched a few and you are the only person to cover the position on the seat.
Just fantastic tutorial, my Concept 2 arrives at the end of December, can't wait 👍
Professional explanation, Thanks this is gold
Many thanks, best regards from Portugal👏👏👏
just starting my rowing life at 56 y/o. simple and catch-y. thank you
You're welcome Jose!
Your instructions are clear and motivating. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Very great video! Thank you for making this.
No, I get excited because I know that my arms and abs will be toned 💪 whole body workout!
Excellent ! Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video. My concept 2 comes in next week. I'm juiced and can't wait!
Really enjoyed the information in this video and its delivery. Thanks!
The 5th point…thank you!

Have just completed my first session and am delighted I watched this video, felt comfortable throughout. Thanks again.
You are a great instructor! Thank you!

Incredibly helpful! Thank you!!
thanks, great video!
Very helpful, thank you!
thank you!
Thanks I had no idea about where to put the damper. 👍
excellent explanation, thx
Excellent practical information. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Great introduction video. It can't get any better than that.
Great job!
Well-done, simple. “Set for YOU” recognizing individuation of approach, yet unified to audience. Not preaching. Gottta like this.
Thank you!
But ultimately the pull with massive input from lats is a major component of the total move . Please correct if wrong
What are your thoughts on the Hydrow?
Great video, well explained. I disagree about the sit bones but everything else is gold!
Always, grate information and to the point. Thank you.
Thank you!
great even
Still I don’t understand,is number 10 is more lose fat or no?
Yes Thank You Very Much 🫶❤️
So, it is pushing😁 i thought it is all about pulling the handle bar, i just finished my diy rowing machine then i catch your video about 5 things. 😁. Thank you🙏🙏🙏
I shit my pants..
I want to invest in concept 2 but afraid I will max out the resistance level. Does maximum level 10 offer a lot of resistance?
Thanks
Great video, thank you! I have had my C2 Erg for a month now and I love it!

Is rowing or elliptical better?
Great video! I exercise regularly; however, I just ordered the concept 2 and want to learn proper form before it arrives. Thank you!
I’m waiting to order one next month. Congrats on your new rower
@@efinch3175 I'm really enjoying it so far. Ordered mine from Rogue Fitness. It's a great addition to IronWolf workouts.
very helpful...thank you
amazing tips for a beginner
Glad you think so!
Although you push with your legs, once they are fully extended, you then lean back and pull with your upper body to finish the stroke, thus making it a two part movement involving both lower and upper body strength.
I love it! I was doing it wrong for a minute 🤭🤭🤭

Where do I buy this machine ?
Would be nice if you added captions...
she said but cheeks and pick upa chunk of your booty. Lol this video was great. My concept 2 arrive today and I can't wait
@ #5 Been rowing for more than 35 years, and I _still_ haven't managed to integrate this into my mechanics. Even though I know intellectually what I need to do, I have not been able to do it. Which is a shame, because I'm 6'3", 230 lbs, so a strong, long-levered physique. Me = Wasted Resources. LOL
I always thought the damper was the resistance.
I don't have a hand full of booty...(butt) excellent tips. Thank you.
Thank you, I think I picked up some abominable habits, getting back on the concept 2, I want to get it right this time, grab a handful of booty 😂
pick your butts up might be the best thing i ve heard in a rowing video
4 - that’s what’s between 3 and 5.
Too much creative bunch of malarkey to get to the point.
i make hand party to instruction video, no more energy to work out...
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth Phil?
@@RVAPerformanceTraining in old country, that would be considered compliment! wawawiwa!
Too much humor that you miss out the point
Great information Thankyou
