Recommended. Great reminder of the importance of form & technique on Concept 2. Fell into trap of going for high strokes per minute thinking I was doing intense intervals but wasn't generating any real resistance, just "spinning the wheels." This tutorial got me back on form - and using the CII as it's intended. You can do intervals but not at the expense of your PICKS !

Kind of confusing, need more practice. Just got a concept 2 for my home and my ankles tend to hurt, am I doing something wrong? I did notice in one of your videos, where you explain how NOT to row (vertical and quick) is how I’m rowing. Thanks for the videos your great!

Hello! Thank you for showing this drill. I recently picked up rowing and bought a concept 2. As I now understand each part of the stroke (was doing it wrong for a week), I was doing about 90% arms and felt sore in different muscles every time. With your videos, I am practicing at work the "legs body arms, arms body legs" mantra so I can improve later today at home. My question is, can the seat and its resistance with a stroke change or is it the same for all rowing machines? Meaning, how fast it glides as I push back (the drive) I feel it is too quick/easy and hardly feel any work out on my legs. Thanks!
