8lbs in a month is a healthy drop. People want a 15-20 lb drop that isn’t a healthy drop. Having it gradually come off and stay off is better than dropping a lot, getting burnt out and putting it back on. Congratulations keep up the great work!!
If you do that will be easy if your over weight, u retain more water the heavier you are. So if you exercise for 30 days straight your going to burn fat and loose water weight. Then the heavier you are the more calories you will burn. Now if you almost in shape of some pounds over then just a little over 2 pounds of week is normal especially when your leaning out. Because loosing weight and becoming lean is two different things.
9 months later and your still inspiring people with this video! I think you're incredible - inner strength gets you so much further in life than anything else, and that's what you proved to yourself - that you have incredible inner strength and self-discipline. I hope you are still proud of yourself for what you accomplished in these 30 days.
Right. Losing 8 pounds is great. I'm about to start this same journey myself as I await my rower to be delivered next week. So seeing your story and with being about the same weight as you started (I'm 231) is definitely inspirational for me. So thanks for sharing.
You seriously motivated me. I have been back in the gym about a month now and I can’t stop going because it’s like you said, dedicating that time to yourself and it’s not only physical but also mental.
Fair play to you and we'll done, I'm 51 and just started to go gym to lose my middle age spread. Being shown how to use rowing machine e correctly tonight, can't wait
I'm 52 and 8 weeks ago I quit a 34-year smoking habit. So I took to a rower. 5 days a week, full resistance. Today I managed 2 K (400 m x 3, 200 m x 4) building up from an easy 1500 m (split like before). So now my intention is to add 100 m a day. And it does keep me off cigarettes. Good luck in your journey! And remember it's always good to have a plan. Also, bear in mind you're more likely to succeed if you're happy with it as a new lifestyle choice ie. you're in it for the long run.
8 pounds in a month is amazing! You wouldn’t want to lose more than 2 pounds a week, otherwise it may be bad for your health. Those 8 pounds are pure fat, you should be proud of yourself!❤️
when I lost my weight, I fell in love with rowing and in combo with some strength training. I believe rowing is the absolute best workout for me, its fun, challenging, entertaining and just fun, especially when you finish!😅
I'm looking into getting a rowing machine soon! Everyone's before and after pics not only showcases weight loss, but an improvement in posture as well!
Love your realness. I feel like I'm the same as how you are. Just over it at times and trying to get through it, but motivated to do it at the same time. Great job sticking with it and getting good results!
High five Girl! You did great! So proud of You showing up even on the hard days!💙👌Belive me when I tell You, this level of commitment gives me more power too, especialy on my weak days. So thank You!
Great job, 8 pounds is great! As someone stated, it's about the journey not the destination. When you start to like your active disciplined self so much that you make it the norm, then one day you look in the mirror and realize you did it.
YOU DID IT!! Girl, I SEE the difference and I'm INSPIRED!! You don't understand. You lost weight and gained MUSCLE. Muscle is HEAVIER , smaller and tighter than fat. I see the difference already!! You don't have to sprint to get results! Listen to podcasts or music instead. Gentle cardio for 20 minutes, a few days a week is Powerful. So listen to podcast or music insead. And keep taking monthly photos instead of the scale! THANK you for sharing!! I'm SO excited to get a rowing machine!!
I decided to do my row workout in the morning before work, etc. And even though it is definitely a commitment (which I need) it's been worth it so far. The one rule I made for myself to keep me motivated... can't have breakfast (which I'm usually super eager to have) until I work out which so far is really helping with being consistent. That combination keeps me doing it since I'm terrible at consistent commitment.
I love the cat 🐈. How is it going with the rowing machine? Hopefully, you're still using it. I usually row 5k efforts. But I am trying to switch to 10 x 500m efforts with a 1 minute rest. Sprint intervals are hard, and it's difficult to find the motivation for it.
I began rowing four months before I turned 70 y/o to change my body! I felt wonderful! I am now turning 76 y/o in two weeks and have been rowing daily and feel better than I ever have and am no longer jiggly and am firmer and am at my goal weight! I will not give up and I am feeling great as I continue on my healthy eating and fitness journey! Btw, I feel better now than in my 40s and 50s!
As a rower myself I can say that the most important thing is doing the hard days, like they want, but not more than one max effort hard day per week, like two or three half to harder days and one to two rest days (still rowing but light) per week. If you do this, you push yourself and give your body time to adapt after you push yourself.
I came across your video because I just started rowing three weeks ago and I love it! You lost a lot of inches!!! And your back is defined. Your stomach looks amazing. I joined RowHouse and go three times a week but didn’t take any pictures 😢 but you look amazing!!!!
Amazing! For the rowing workouts I did use the echelon app. But ypu could easily follow workouts on RUclips and track with a garmin watch if you have one
I just bought a rower on sale at amazon, first time i did it, i did not think much, it was one of the cheaper ones, but now i been doing 20 minutes intense twice per day and its starting to show. I am older at 51 but am amazed at what i can still do. Rowing is really fun but 20 minutes at a time is perfect.
Don’t worry about what you see as a lack of results in your numbers. Your waist has greatly improved as you stated, but something the scale can’t tell you is how much muscle you’ve grown. So you have to counter the muscle gain vs fat lost. You did great. I more this is two years ago, but that was awesome.
I can see your body change in the second week that's amazing lots of people don't use the rowing machine but they don't know how powerful it is. it works the whole body makes u lean and if u have a good diet deficit you can sure to loose fat. man I have so many giggly arms and it's slow but I see a different in so much short time. I do 30 a day I do it fast for 20 sec slowdown and keep repeating it. maybe I add one or 2 stroikes u gave me some encouragement but you look good keep it up
You should have done a body scanner thing to see how much muscle you've gained coz I'm sure you will be putting on muscle weight too by doing all that work. Definitely look slimmer, so well done! Stay positive and love the pain ;-)
You could ad an abcore Work out on different days,plus a standing core work out, this will tighten the abs faster, but it is not rowing exercise,just a thought.
What was the 500 m/split and the spm, you were doing? And what was the average distance? I row 4K and a bit in 20 minutes after a 3 year break. I used to do 4K in 15 minutes when I did it every day. BTW I think the results are amazing! Look at the belly (or lack there off). That is the hardest area to get rid of flab! I AM IMPRESSED!
I've been feeling quite uncomfortable and tired lately and came across a discounted rowing machine. I'm considering purchasing it, but it's quite large, measuring 244 cm in length. However, if it offers significant benefits compared to other forms of exercise like biking at home, it could be a worthwhile investment despite its size. I do wonder about the potential benefits of rowing: Have you observed enhanced energy and endurance in your everyday life? Specifically, I wonder about things that I struggle with myself as I went from 76 kilos to 93 kilos after an operational hip injury where a doctor hurt me on purpose and I have been bedridden soon two years and need to get a grip on myself and do my best at home to get my heart and VO2 back... if that is what it is called? have you found it easier to perform activities like climbing stairs, walking around town, or biking, which require sustained movement? Maybe even tasks like doing the laundry and stand-up cooking for longer periods when one has been bedridden for a very long time could be easier if rowing truly improves everyday life, beyond just improving rowing performance. What do you think?
I am not trained in any areas of expertise and I only share videos about my journey. So I don't want to offer advice on what you should do. But I personally enjoy rowing as a low impact workout that can be done at various levels of intensity. I hope your journey to recovery is going well, just take things one step at a time and only compare yourself to you and what you could do yesterday!
Results vary with us on our weight loss journeys. Hopefully I can achieve the sucess you did the first month! I have a rowing machine and become discouraged too soon. You motivated me to get back on track. Thanks for your inspiring video! 😉
Be very proud of yourself. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, making videos that are real and relatable and very inspiring. I'm in my late 50s and a beginner to rowing (exercise in general). You have certainly inspired me to keep at it. ❤
great job! (Recommendation if you do more videos probably a quick video/ audio edit improvement your voice over was only coming in on the Left side very weird when listening on headphones )
You know what? That is a great result for you! Your belly went from sag to taut. You want your midsection to shrink? Watch your diet, drink protein after your workout and drink more water than other drinks. I applaud your results. Wish that I could encourage you with a hug! 👍🏾
8lbs in a month is a healthy drop. People want a 15-20 lb drop that isn’t a healthy drop. Having it gradually come off and stay off is better than dropping a lot, getting burnt out and putting it back on. Congratulations keep up the great work!!
Thank you!! so true!
10 months is 80lbs
Totally agree. This is a great pace along with practically a 100lb weight loss in a year
If you do that will be easy if your over weight, u retain more water the heavier you are. So if you exercise for 30 days straight your going to burn fat and loose water weight. Then the heavier you are the more calories you will burn. Now if you almost in shape of some pounds over then just a little over 2 pounds of week is normal especially when your leaning out.

Whatever your body drop is a healthy drop🎉😂🎉😂🎉😂

The 🐈 being there for moral support just melts my ❤😊
You did great! 8lbs is amazing 👏. Keep it up. It's a journey and you're making great strides towards your ovearrall health.

My and daughter (4) watched your video and wanted to tell you: "We're proud of you. Especially when you decided to row when you were tired."
Just started rowing tonight. I was able to get 30 minutes in. Your results are amazing. This is great motivation for me. Thanks for posting this.
Oh wow, that's a huge difference in just a month. I started using the rowing machine as well and this thing wears me out quick.
I just started my journey to being healthy and I just want you to know this was very encouraging to watch. You look amazing by the way.
Omg thank you sooo much! Gah that's wonderful and I'm so happy I'm part of your journey! Congratulations on starting! You've got this!
8lbs is amazing! And like you said, you can see a difference! And remember, muscle weighs more than fat! Congratulations!
Great message. Go get em' girl!
You are sooooo Inspiring! I'm going to do this as well. 30 days or rowing. I can do it.
Wow thank you soo much!! Love that you are trying it out!!
You done great, and you have convinced me to buy a rower. Well done, keep up the great work.
when I lost my weight, I fell in love with rowing and in combo with some strength training. I believe rowing is the absolute best workout for me, its fun, challenging, entertaining and just fun, especially when you finish!😅

Great job!! I hope that you feel really good about your accomplishments.
I just maintained my rower the other day. And fell back in love with it again. Looking good!!
This was great! I love how you talked about the nonscale victories. You are really motivating me!
i am at day 3 and it is addictive. i feel all my important muscles put to work, but I don't feel tired at all
That's awesome! Hope it's still going well for you!
I’m at my Day 3 now, aiming for 1 week then 1 month and 100 days. Hope u r doing ok!
Wow!! 8lb!! Amazing results for just 30 days!!! 🤩🤩
Congrats! You look great!
No Matter what you do, consistency is the key. Showing up on a regular basis will show results, always. Not only on your body but also on your mind!
Great job, 8 pounds is great! As someone stated, it's about the journey not the destination. When you start to like your active disciplined self so much that you make it the norm, then one day you look in the mirror and realize you did it.
Great fricking work!
Athletes - consistent at being consistent. You got this!
I love your message. Showing up helps build discipline and determination needed to get results we want for ourselves.
Yes exactly! Thank you!
Good for you!! Keep up the great work!😊

Beautiful I'm joining the Row journey thanks for sharing 💯😊
Get sum!! Great work. Keep it up. 💪. Setting the habit can be the toughest part
Great job! Thank you for doing what you do!
8lbs it’s amazing! It depends on your diet too. It’s a process

New subscriber you have me motivated! I have a row but don’t use it. It’s a full body workout and we can definitely see the difference😊
You are definitely much better than 30 days ago ❤❤❤
About to start my journey and this is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you! Do you use a companion app or just set your target and go?
Amazing! For the rowing workouts I did use the echelon app. But ypu could easily follow workouts on RUclips and track with a garmin watch if you have one

Yea like I said I'm very happy with the results and was trying to say people tend to only focus on weight when there is so much more to consider

You did amazing👏👍 I've just started and its kicking my ass lol, thought I was pretty fit but rowing is not easy at all so well done to you👏
Thank you for this!! Keep it up!! 💪💪

Thank you so much for sharing your experience 😊
My pleasure 😊
Be very proud of yourself.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication, making videos that are real and relatable and very inspiring.
I'm in my late 50s and a beginner to rowing (exercise in general). You have certainly inspired me to keep at it. ❤
my left ear enjoyed this a lot
You've got this Aries. Just keep going. You are looking great.
Thank you so much! It was a great month!
Hows the rowing machine working out? Im looking in getting this rower is it holding up
Great Job!!! Thanks for the encouraging video!
Thank you! And glad you enjoyed it!
There is progress in your bank as well❤❤❤
8lbs is a very very good result!!
Good morning!! I need this😍
Good Job!
great job! (Recommendation if you do more videos probably a quick video/ audio edit improvement your voice over was only coming in on the Left side very weird when listening on headphones )
Good job. Are you still going..?
You definitely toned down. So good job
Thank you so much!
You're doing great! I want to do this.
Seems like healthy progress, not sudden and unlasting “progress”
Awesome video.
Thanks!
That’s awesome
You know what? That is a great result for you! Your belly went from sag to taut. You want your midsection to shrink? Watch your diet, drink protein after your workout and drink more water than other drinks. I applaud your results. Wish that I could encourage you with a hug! 👍🏾
Yes! Thank you!
Excellent job! Check out correct rowing form and I think you'll maximize what you get out of rowing. Keep up the great work!
that's great!
me who rows 7 days a week two hours a day: wow...she's amazing
