Hello, I am 68, my girlfriend is 68, we are both blind. We just purchased the concept to and put it together ourselves with help from two other blind individuals Who were both online at the time. I think your videos are great. You explain things really well without having to see them. I especially liked when you talked about moving your trunk from eleven o’clock to one o’clock . keep up the good work and keep explaining . well done . Using the Apple Watch with voiceover to track progress. Going to start using the PM 5 m, that works well for a blind user. Thank you for reading.
I bought a concept 2 and watched about 5 or 6 different how to videos. This one is by far the best. Reason - he teaches muscle memory! All the other videos were a cerebral approach “ step one. step two.” But following this video your body learns by DOING it rather than by thinking about how to do it. NAILED it! Thank you!!! Row, row, row! 😄
I so appreciate what you do for people. Is it weird I watch your videos and do not have a rower (yet)? :) I’m recovering from an accident that caused a brain injury, and balance is one of my biggest issues as I recover and re-learn how to move and interact with the world. A rower would be perfect, and I find your videos and message inspiring as I work towards recovery. Thank you again!
I am just starting out on a rower. I hope your recovery progressed well. I was in an accident that caused a TBI 7 years ago and the recovery was so difficult. I had to walk with a cane for months after it. I also had a detached nerve in my eyes which caused double vision so that made balance even more difficult. I basically lost nearly a year of “normal” life. Now I am 100% again. I hope you have made good strides in your recovery.
I'm watching before I have a machine. I've learned he's a great teacher and it seems like rowing is for me! I'm getting a machine delivered in 2 days. I'm so excited I found something accessible at all fitness levels & something I can do with my son
I just turned 72 and wanted to do something during the winter to maintain my health so I've been checking out getting into rowing and after coming upon this video I pulled the trigger and bought a rowing machine,I can't thank you enough for caring enough about us newbee's to show us the proper way to use a rowing machine, thank you thank you thank you for caring so much , I can't wait to get started 😃👍
I have rowed before, first time I thought of rowing as a part of my life journey. I have hurdles to conquer so looking forward to victorious laughing, crying and celebrating with dark horse!
So grateful for this! I just received my Concept 2 Model D and wanted a beginner's video to help me get used to proper form and cardio efficiency in order to get in the BEST shape possible at 54! So grateful for this and for the community I notice that are watching too. Seems like a wonderful group! Thank you Dark Horse! Looking so forward to regular workouts with you!
My first rowing machine delivered today - found your channel and this is my first video. Having spent 53 years as an equestrienne--I was immediately drawn to Dark Horse Rowing of course. I was an aquatics instructor for 15 years too and last year relocated to another continent and was left without a fitness routine other than walking which I love but its not enough. At 59 I want to be careful with my joints and am hoping this will work for me in a small apartment. The first 10 minutes feels good so far. I really appreciate your detailed instructions and the reasons why learning the mechanics is important. I will definitely be following along so I get this correct movement from the start and work up to better workouts. Wow thanks so much for your videos.
The C2 rower is the only piece of equipment at my gym that never gets used, I hopped on it yesterday (to the bemusement of some of the regulars) and I did a quick work out (2k meters) with OK technique. I'm now finding myself eager to learn more about this piece of equipment and how it can aid me with my fitness goals. Thanks for the content, I'm looking forward to reviewing all of it.
I am so glad I found you! I am a beginner and love the fact that you start with the basics so I can get the full benefit of every workout!! I am now a subscriber! 😁
I have to say discovering this video has been a real blessing from out of the blue, I'm 60 coming up 61, here in the UK, haven't rowed since I was 42, starting again tomorrow without fail or my son will be on my case! Need to get my body moving again and rowing is the perfect tool, need to lose maybe 30lbs I think. Wish me luck! 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
I’ve had a rowing machine in my basement for a while and I just starting using it today! This video was super informative and made me feel very confident in my form and that I’ll be able to use the rower safely and effectively
THANK YOU for this! It's been nearly two decades since I rowed (college) and was worried my body (or brain) wouldn't remember the exact mechanics and position, etc, but following this instantly put me back in the (not yet delivered) saddle. AND it'll help me break down when I teach the 15yo once the Concept2 comes in. Good stuff!
I got my rowing machine and just did this video. I am so thrilled to own this jewel!! I feel every muscle on my body. Incredible! Thank you for this step by step tutorial, it really helped me understand what rowing is all about. I’ll be starting with this video every day. I’m about to go on 20 minutes video! I subscribed! Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi thank you for a great video im 71 very unfit and just started today with this video 14:5214:52 its great as it is low impact but working everything every part of the body...im looking forward to watching more of your videos they are very helpful...from Australia
Over 50 here, getting back into rowing as I have fond memories from when I was a child, 10ish, using a hydraulic roller. I enjoyed the motion. Now, my body is doing its great decline and I look forward to revitalization. Best wishes with your journey.
This is so helpful...thank you! UGH!, I've been using the wrong technique when rowing for years!?!?!?! So thank, thank, Thank you! Can you help me with my guitar playing as well? 🤣
This is great! Just got off my machine for the first time, realising I should have watched a tutorial first. I'll be practicing this method from now on.
My mother (73) and I (47) started today. She is now retire and wants to keep an active life style. She also loves to dance. So finding a dance studio is next. I on the other hand cheated death. I went from being a healthy person. To being hospital for 3 months and ended up having two surgeries. It has been a year ( 1 yr. recovery time) since then . A month ago; I also had a neck fusion . We are both looking forward into getting much stronger .The sun room has become our workout paradise .
I have recently begun a gym workout program and have been beginning with rowing. (I notice that I have never seen anyone rowing in the gym). I realized that I was just winging it using some basic workout principles...posture, etc. but need guidance to do it properly. I found this in a google search and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I will begin the suggested routine for beginners tomorrow morning. Thanks for the video specifically designed for beginners.
Thanks for sharing your great techniques. I am new to rowing. I am a long time user of the Weider Ultimate Body Works machine, which has worked very well for me as far as gaining muscle, shedding fat, and just staying in shape. I recently purchased the Domyos 100 Rowing machine that I just followed you on your video with. It has two different strength cables for strength adjustment. My machine is a beginner row machine, which I plan to continue following you on. I am 57 and have seen part of the fitness world since joining a Tae Keon Do class in six grade. I just became one of your subscribers. Thanks again.
Today is my first day on a rowing machine. Thanks for the video, I look forward to watching more throughout what I'm hoping will be many years of rowing with great technique!
Tried the rower at the gym the other night and it was a disaster, lol. Decided to look up tips to see what to do. So happy I found you and will be giving it another shot, while playing your video, tomorrow!
Thank you so much! I canoe/kayak, used to use my Dad's rower as a kid. Just got my own 1st rower as the weather has turned and not going to the gym bc covid. This was an AWESOME video to ensure I'm on point! Thank you again!
My Concept 2 arrived yesterday. I've used it at the gym, but my personal trainer basically had me sit down and row. I will be using this to actually use it properly. And I've shared it with the members of my household who will also be using it.
One of the best Videos I ve seen. You motivated me so much. I am a right leg amputee and Hearttransplanted man who will find his rowing workout. 🏋️ thanks for making this video!🙏🏻💪🏻🙌
Glad I asked the right questions (to Google) and got me to you. Been debating Treadmill over Rower and I can see why a rowing machine makes more sense in many substantial ways. Lets start with the not so obvious but often disregard ones for a home fitness equipment. Unless you live in a loft in NYC (or similar high ceiling apartment -most of us do not) your home is going to impose dimensional constraints for any vertical cardio machine (bicycle, treadmill, elliptical, ...) with one very peculiar; 1) the floor to ceiling space. My house has a 7 feet clearance in the basement and 7 feet, 11 inches in any other room. With me being 6 foot, 2 inches this constraint, renders the choices of "vertical" cardio to not feasible (unless I put the equipment in the garage). Why? The moment I go faster than speed 8, I am going to start jogging (up and down) and my head will likely hit the ceiling. Let alone the use of incline settings. 2) These other machines are intense impact and more prone to effect on the knee joins. 3) A motorized treadmill does not emulates real life, as you do not walk or run in airport mechanical walkways. When you walk/run over a road, it is your body that moves forward, not the path under your shoes - so all that unnatural exercise could potentially have an impact on your form. And finally; for what I read so far in professional advise on either or, a rowing machine exercises more muscle groups than a treadmill; and not just that, it seems (the consensus) that the fat burning and muscle building of a rowing machine has no equal in a treadmill. If what I want is to loose weight but also maintain the loss, rowing is my choice. And on the other points made, rowing is definitively better for me. Now the one machine featured here is currently quite expensive for my budget and so I would go with a water resistance type or maybe magnetic one that I already am tracking online. The technics given tho, are applicable to any rowing machine, so thank you for that "Dark Horse".
Just Ordered my Concept 2 this afternoon. I've been watching various videos on your channel as I decided which rower I was going to get. I just turned 64, looking to switch up gears in my workout I decided rowing was the way to go. Thanks so much for this video and all the great information that you provide on your channel!
I just bought a new to me rowing machine and I am definitely going to pull this video out the first time I use it. The step by step breakdown of the mechanics of the stroke is so thorough and easy to follow. Will definitely be back for more as I start this journey!
Santa just dropped off my Christmas gift this aft. and even set up the Concept 2 in the basement. Nice surprise! Thank you so much for my first ever class. Excellent teaching. So well explained. I am hooked and you are my new best friend. I will be in class tomorrow! Tks! Merry Christmas!
Just bought a concept rower. Thank you for the videos I can learn from. Was getting flustered with it. And my brother told me to look you up. Sure glad I did great explanation of how to use it
I enjoy the rowing machine and that it records my history on my phone. Tracking my progress keeps me honest and is a way of confirming my fitness and strength is improving.
Aww-I love you, too! Thank you for this. I watched and worked through it twice in a row pun intended and I think I'm ready to start working out on this daily.
Really glad I found (and subbed to) your channel... My Concept 2 arrives tomorrow. I got the tall version. I was in very good shape for a 56 yo a few years ago without a worry in the world, when my lateral meniscus in my right knee tore violently just getting up from a kneeling/sitting on my ankles position one day (degenerative tear). After going through a couple of years of my knee locking up randomly (and painfully), and it taking me down a couple notches mentally as well, I finally decided to have arthroscopic surgery last august. It went very well and my surgeon (head orthopedic surgeon at my Kaiser) said I could do anything I felt I could do. No restrictions. I have been doing very well (well enough to pull the trigger on the large ADV bike in my avatar) but I still had/have that nagging fear of re-injuring it in the back of my mind. I think (and hope) rowing will be just the thing to get me back into better cardio condition again, while also being comparatively low impact.
This was fantastic, I have some health issues that make high impact exercise difficult so thought a rower seemed like a good idea. First time using one ever so this video was exactly what I needed. Great explanation
55 years old and starting the first day of the rest of my life. Thanks so much for this video and the entire series. Absolutely what we needed to fully understand and get the most out of our Concept 2.
thanks for the intro video, I just received the Concept2 in today and already did a 1000m but watching the intro video I think I'll need to watch again tomorrow while on the machine to practice my technique! Looking forward to getting in shape and loosing weight. I'm 6'5" & 248+ and wanna lose 10-15lbs to start. This and whole30 eating should definitely help! Thanks DHR!
Thank you, very encouraging nd informative, I am 60 have a concept rower and it is collecting dust! Haha not for long because you're right when I was using it a year ago I felt sooooo much better. Thank you extremely good video, I'm glad I found this.
Everyone, everywhere, without rowing experience, need to watch this video to learn the correct way to row. There are far too many people in gyms who use the machine incorrectly, which will make the user not want to keep rowing since they won't like it.
I was on a waiting list, but got mine recently. I hit "Just Row" and did 5 minutes to try it out. Works great. Nice machine. Unfortunately, it doesn't fold up, but rather comes in 2 pieces. Kind of silly. The phone holder isn't wide enough to hold today's phones with covers on them, but the app mostly shows the same thing as the machine screen.
How are you getting on with the Concept 2 model E. I am 68 & have arthritis in my knees so I thought the model E may be a better option as it is a bit higher than the D.
A bit late to the party, but this is such a helpful video! I have used a rowing machine at a gym, and I bought one for myself, but I never really knew how to use it properly. I don't want to kill my back or muscles, so I thought I'd look up how to do the complete basics.
I just started at the gym and enjoy the tower but felt like I wasn’t getting Mac benefits. This definitely helped me out a lot. Thank you. One thing you didn’t mention was what to set the rower at when you start? I started on 1 and felt like it was too wobbly. So now I’m using 10. I’ve only been in the gym for a week.
13:28 newbie here, this is a great video, thank you. I found I’m having trouble keeping my heels down as I close my hips and come come forward, any suggestions to correct this?
Hello, I am 68, my girlfriend is 68, we are both blind. We just purchased the concept to and put it together ourselves with help from two other blind individuals Who were both online at the time.

You sir (and your girlfriend) are an inspiration! I hope you are getting a lot out of your Concept 2 rower.
What a lovely post. How are you doing now? Are you still at it?
58 years old, disabled & have gotten out of shape. Just bought a water rower. This video is a big help... Thank you!

I'm sure 95% of casual users do row incorrectly
Thanks for the tutorial. I hired a rower while my gym is closed due to COVID. I look forward to learning more and trying your other workouts.
Starting rowing at 60. Bought a WaterRower. Looking forward to enjoying using my machine regularly. Thanks for the clear explanation! Subscribed.
This is great! Just got off my machine for the first time, realising I should have watched a tutorial first.
I'll be practicing this method from now on.
My first time ever on a rower. I’m 50+ and starting my journey. This was so helpful. Thank you.
Yep. Me too. 54yo and new to rowing.

Incredible video with incredible content. You are passionate and THAT alone could persuade us to follow you. Thank you so much !
I'm 65 years young and I'm looking forward to circumnavigating Ireland on a rowing maching 🤔😎😶
How's your trip going?

Rower arrived today, it’s built and this was my first venture. So excited. 👊👊
That was groovy.. at the end my full stroke actually felt strong and efficient.. thanks @darkhorse
Your video helped me to finally feel the “aha, that’s the move”. I liked specially the trick about the hands and fingers position. Thanks a lot
Thank you so much! ☺️ excited to have my first rower delivered this week..🥳 Hello from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Glad I asked the right questions (to Google) and got me to you. Been debating Treadmill over Rower and I can see why a rowing machine makes more sense in many substantial ways. Lets start with the not so obvious but often disregard ones for a home fitness equipment. Unless you live in a loft in NYC (or similar high ceiling apartment -most of us do not) your home is going to impose dimensional constraints for any vertical cardio machine (bicycle, treadmill, elliptical, ...) with one very peculiar; 1) the floor to ceiling space.

If what I want is to loose weight but also maintain the loss, rowing is my choice. And on the other points made, rowing is definitively better for me.

Thank you! I'm brand new to rowing. Your friendly and factual approach gives me the knowledge and confidence to begin this awesome journey.
Santa just dropped off my Christmas gift this aft. and even set up the Concept 2 in the basement. Nice surprise! Thank you so much for my first ever class. Excellent teaching. So well explained. I am hooked and you are my new best friend. I will be in class tomorrow! Tks! Merry Christmas!
Just starting I am 61 and looking g forward to it...thank you I enjoyed watching and learning...
Excited to hear about your journey
Just bought a concept rower. Thank you for the videos I can learn from. Was getting flustered with it. And my brother told me to look you up. Sure glad I did great explanation of how to use it
I enjoy the rowing machine and that it records my history on my phone. Tracking my progress keeps me honest and is a way of confirming my fitness and strength is improving.
Great first time training!
Excellent tips and pick drill to start this rowing experience. Thanks!
Aww-I love you, too! Thank you for this. I watched and worked through it twice in a row pun intended and I think I'm ready to start working out on this daily.
Really glad I found (and subbed to) your channel... My Concept 2 arrives tomorrow. I got the tall version.
I was in very good shape for a 56 yo a few years ago without a worry in the world, when my lateral meniscus in my right knee tore violently just getting up from a kneeling/sitting on my ankles position one day (degenerative tear).
After going through a couple of years of my knee locking up randomly (and painfully), and it taking me down a couple notches mentally as well, I finally decided to have arthroscopic surgery last august. It went very well and my surgeon (head orthopedic surgeon at my Kaiser) said I could do anything I felt I could do. No restrictions.
I have been doing very well (well enough to pull the trigger on the large ADV bike in my avatar) but I still had/have that nagging fear of re-injuring it in the back of my mind.
I think (and hope) rowing will be just the thing to get me back into better cardio condition again, while also being comparatively low impact.
RESETS are always APPRECIATED!! bad habits are easy to fall into and often toughest to break free. Thanks Shane
Thanks for this video. I just got a Waterrower, and suddenly it occurred to me that there might be a better way to use it. This video helped a lot.
I tried it at the gym yesterday and ufff I loved it. Very helpful tips.
Thank you! This made a huge difference
Day 1 - 69.2 kg. Starting with this workout. I feel amazing!! Lots of love from Brazil!!
This was fantastic, I have some health issues that make high impact exercise difficult so thought a rower seemed like a good idea. First time using one ever so this video was exactly what I needed. Great explanation
Just did my very first row on my Concept 2 along with this video. Awesome tutorial!!
55 years old and starting the first day of the rest of my life. Thanks so much for this video and the entire series. Absolutely what we needed to fully understand and get the most out of our Concept 2.
Similar age here, similar thinking. Thumbs up.
thanks for the intro video, I just received the Concept2 in today and already did a 1000m but watching the intro video I think I'll need to watch again tomorrow while on the machine to practice my technique! Looking forward to getting in shape and loosing weight. I'm 6'5" & 248+ and wanna lose 10-15lbs to start. This and whole30 eating should definitely help! Thanks DHR!
Thank you for that it's helpful
Just received my rower today!!1 Will start with the right form
Saludos 🎉!!! From. México. Im beguining in this work out.
Thank you, very encouraging nd informative, I am 60 have a concept rower and it is collecting dust! Haha not for long because you're right when I was using it a year ago I felt sooooo much better. Thank you extremely good video, I'm glad I found this.
I bought a rowing machine today and this is very useful to start off.
Thank you for the easy to understand instructions for form on my first day on my new rowing machine!
Wow, surprisingly challenging and super informative

Thank you.
Awesome breakdown!! Thank you
1st day on my rower. I need a ton of work but thought you really explained it well. Thank you a bunch.
I'm loving your rowing videos, at 60 I decided to buy at rower, I look forward to rowing with you everyday @darkhorse
Good choice my friend 👍
Thank u, brother. Beautifully explained & demonstrated. 🙏
Just received my Concept 2 yesterday. This is very helpful and will continue to follow. Thank you!
Excited to join! First workout today!
Everyone, everywhere, without rowing experience, need to watch this video to learn the correct way to row. There are far too many people in gyms who use the machine incorrectly, which will make the user not want to keep rowing since they won't like it.
I was on a waiting list, but got mine recently. I hit "Just Row" and did 5 minutes to try it out. Works great. Nice machine. Unfortunately, it doesn't fold up, but rather comes in 2 pieces. Kind of silly. The phone holder isn't wide enough to hold today's phones with covers on them, but the app mostly shows the same thing as the machine screen.
Had this on my playlist before getting my concept2 and just did this. So good!
Following and looking forward to your other videos 😊
Thank you Dude, you are a very friendly and encouraging teacher.
Ordered my Concept 12/22/20
Should be here mid Feb. looking forward to getting started😊
How did it go?
Brilliant. Cannot wait to get my machine. This is a really helpful video. Thank you.
Excellent video, wonderful explanation!!! Very educative, thank you.
Thank you for this vid....finally found a great direction from your detailed instruction....now to join the vikings...thx again.
was doing the same exercises to warm up, great video
Thanks for this-my Concept 2 E was delivered yesterday, and this video gave me the boost of confidence I needed for a great beginning.
How are you getting on with the Concept 2 model E. I am 68 & have arthritis in my knees so I thought the model E may be a better option as it is a bit higher than the D.
This was so helpful! Thank you!
A bit late to the party, but this is such a helpful video! I have used a rowing machine at a gym, and I bought one for myself, but I never really knew how to use it properly. I don't want to kill my back or muscles, so I thought I'd look up how to do the complete basics.
Thanks man. That helped a lot!
Great video. Congratulations from Italy
Just started on a rowing machine at 73 love it
I'm 72 and ordered my WaterRower yesterday. I'm pretty fit from strength training and recumbent bike but have never been on a rowing machine.
Thank you for the help! I will recieve my machine soon and will really need your help!
This is really helpful
Love it!
Excellent guide! Thank you!!
I just started at the gym and enjoy the tower but felt like I wasn’t getting Mac benefits. This definitely helped me out a lot. Thank you. One thing you didn’t mention was what to set the rower at when you start? I started on 1 and felt like it was too wobbly. So now I’m using 10. I’ve only been in the gym for a week.
You have inspired me to learn to row. Thank you!!
Superbly explained.
Thank you for sharing! going to try it out today :)
13:28 newbie here, this is a great video, thank you. I found I’m having trouble keeping my heels down as I close my hips and come come forward, any suggestions to correct this?
Just getting started, this video really helped me
well executed training video
very well explained, well done
Thanks. Very helpful for newbies.
Thank you, sir!
Hey guys...firstly thank you to Dark Horse Rowing for doing this for us. Can you class this Vid as an actual workout or is it purely just technique?
