If you have just began using the rowing machine or recently purchased a machine for yourself, THIS is the ultimate guide to get you started in the right direction towards your fat loss goals! You can check it out from the link in the description box above! THANK YOU for all of your support!!
i guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me
This pandemic has forced me to make use of a rower bought six months ago. I absolutely love your videos. Highly recommend this to anyone starting out. Super helpful and it's made rowing so much more entertaining. Thank you!
Wow, I'm glad I found you. I recently picked up rowing as it is the most underutilized machine at my gym. I love your videos and I'm improving with your guidance. Thanks for sharing all this wonderful info. Now I see the buff guys rowing incorrectly, and I feel like a pro!!!!
Been using various models of the concept2 since 1998. Bought a second hand model C around 20 years ago. Some years life got in the way, other years i put in 100s of 1000s metres. Other than upgrading to a new monitor, its still going strong after 3.5m+ metres. It's the most honest bit of kit. You can't lie to that monitor. 60+ years old now and hoping to add many more millions of metres. Great videos for encouraging use of this great exercise machine.
Thank you Austin, just started to workout in a gym for the first time in my life as I used to fast walk, yoga and hike for fitness. However, I live in Ireland and the weather is terrible so getting outside regularly without getting soaked to the core isn't possible!! Your videos have been really useful and I'm really enjoying rowing as it's more interesting than running/cycling! I'm 47 and heading to India later this year to do a yoga teacher training course and wanted a little more stamina and strength in my body before facing all the 20-somethings there!! My family are tall too and I'm the midget at 5' 8" (nephew is 6' 7" and plays rugby professionally) Off to yoga now then to the gym with more knowledge about my rowing workout so thank you 💕
I bought your ebook "Row Your Fat Off' and it is absolutely fantastic and is very helpful. Thank you so much Austin. Glad I found your channel. I'm looking to buy a C2 Rowing Machine myself and it's very helpful to watch videos on your channel explaining how to use it.
Glad I could get you to laugh, Jane! Sometimes I think I'm the only one who finds these dumb jokes funny... Keep taking baby steps each day, and they will soon add up to something incredible :)
Exactly what a rowing novice like me needs. I was pretty clueless about all this. Great info and well explained. Look forward to more videos explaining the performance monitor. Thanks mate. 👍
I use the ERG app but am wondering if there is an easy way to get my monthly split average without making a spreadsheet? On another note, I have MS and can barely walk but I can row! It's a lifesaver getting my body to move. Thanks for the very helpful videos!
I've just started using the rowing machine in the gym so that I can burn the calories and burn stomach fat. I'm aiming to get a six-pack so I've added the rowing machine exercise as part of my workout.
Hi ! I’m a very new beginner and I’m falling in love with rowing , even though I feel I’m fairly aware I still feel pretty much lost ... do u have a video for dummies ?
Hey! Lots of rowing related videos on my channel to check out! There is even a playlist - 'rowing technique' that should help you in the right direction! :)
I just sub'd. A video request: I'm rowing to burn fat and would love to learn how to build up to eventually doing HIIT: What sort of aerobic base should we build up to before doing HIIT, i.e. 15 to 30 min. steady-state rowing, and at what pace? And your recommendations on HIIT progression.
If I have to do 9.56 on a rower wife the damper at 5 and the meters at 2000. Do I set it it to 2000 and use my own timer on my phone or can I do it on the machine
I do not necessarily disagree with you on this subject, however at lower intensities (2:30/500m or slower) Watts starts to vary less than your split because of the non-linear nature of the conversion formula. The biggest reason to use split over watts is the relevance of the unit when you row a distance-based piece (i.e. 6k, 2k) as it says something about how long it will take you.
My oppinion on this (im a newbie rower and might be very wrong though) is that split/500m helps you keeping constant paces, which is really good to know your capabilities on each distance (are you able to keep 2:00/500 in a 1k or 2k? can you row at 1:50 if distance is actually 500m?) I suppose that doesn't mean much for veteran rowers who know themselves really well, but its great when you are learning to keep your pace. The watts graph plus the s/m number are great when you want to train your stroke; if you can manage to generate a rather flat graph (all bars about the same height) that means you apply the same force on every stroke, which seems quite difficult but convenient to achieve. Again, when you are a beginner its easy to apply a lot of force on some strokes and weaker ones when you start to fatigue, all that data helps to keep everything under control.
hey, man! First of all, thank you very very much for your channel! I've seen almost every single video and I've been learning a lot with you! I've been making pilates and it really helps me to use my core and you gave nice tips that stopped some back pain I had when I was rowing! Now tell me, I have the same watch you have. But the machine I use does no have support for it, though I'd like to use more of it's features for rowing. Do you know some apps I could use to row? And also, I am a beginner and amateur, but I'd like to improve my resistance and rowing results. Which statistics should I follow to measure my results? Thanks again and sorry for any mistake, not a native EN speaker here!
Hey Carlos! Thanks for the kind words - I am glad you've enjoyed the videos, too! I actually use a different heart rate monitor while I row for workouts. The watch you see here is my casual use FItBit. One of the best ways to improve your rowing performance is to practice steady-state heart rate training. Using a heart rate monitor that pairs with a rowing machine will allow it to display on screen which is awesome! As far as resistance training, I would focus primarily on big compound movements such as deadlifts and squats! P.S. Your English is very good :) Let me know if you have any other questions!
Doesn't it help you stay more consistent with power on each stroke if you use watts, if you use split you could be going hard every 5th stroke or something and isn't that just inconsistency?
Watts and Cals change at every stroke and that’s indeed annoying. But split time may not tell how much you’ve really worked because it doesn’t take into account the drag factor, or does it? Isn’t there a way to have the average Watts or Cals of an internal (eg last 10 strokes, last minute, last 50mt)?
Thank you for your teaching, I am new to the rowing, I would like to consistrate on developing a strong core and can use any good instructions that you can give.
How exciting, Pam! I definitely suggest reviewing the other rowing videos on my channel to help give you and overall understanding of how to best use the machine! Good luck! Keep me updated on how things go :)
This is great info but for a guy 66yrs old in pretty good shape what speed or split should I be looking for? and I'm to keep it consistent at that number?
It depends on how tall you are, how much you weigh, how much experience you have... all of these factors play in to "how fast" you should go! I would focus instead on just trying to improve that steady number each and every day!
I am going on 69. I have been lifting weights and rowing for 3 1/2 years. I just set my resistance at a medium setting and concentrate on a correct stroke. I lift every other day. On lifting days I row for only 5 minutes, just to get blood flowing in my muscles before lifting. If you row extended periods before lifting it steals your strength from lifting and blunts any gains. On off days I row for 20-30 minutes. Seems to work for me.
Just starting rowing and am totally new to it. I have the Concept 2 and was wondering if it has a metronome or something like the war boats of long ago that had drums?
Please do the one about games on concept2 machine. I have tried "target game" and it was so good I haven't noticed how 20 minutes flew by. Also why they have USB ports and connectors on the back of machine? Am I not using it fully?
Hey you are almost too tall for that rower. I have a question: what kind of shoes do I need for the rower? I have the same rower you are using. I have weak ankles so what shoes do you recommend?
I have a Merax rower. I rowed intensely for about 45 minutes and the calorie counter said 51.0 which is obviously impossible to burn that few calories in an extensive workout. Any idea on what that number would mean?
@@trainingtall today, i'm pratice a little in rowing machine, i'm starting, but already did crossfit and powerlifting, now only gym, using that method for breathing, i did 8 minutes, with some variations each minute normal one minute and agressive other, for fat loss, but shoulders and abs, i felt work more, thats is! thanks for share you video, and sucess for u!
He's very taaaaall....Not easy to get big while staying lean and natty at that height.Very tall strongmen like Hafthor Bjornsson that weigh twice as much as this guy also eat 3 times as much and are juiced to the gills.

Thanks for the vid. I watch them all. Was rowing for 10 years. Never been on the water. Just getting back into it. And im still learning at 62. Cheers
It's never too late to learn! So awesome to hear, Mark! Keep up the great work, my friend!
The ass slap sound when the overlays come on cracks me up.

I've been injured and immobile for a long time and your videos are making me laugh and want to work out! Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words, D G. Hope rowing is going well for you!
By far, this is the best explanation On TH-cam on how to use and understand the Concept2 monitor. Great job!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks a ton!
Your tje most informative channel on youtube I've found on rowing machines👍
Thank you very much!

you are very good at comming up with all the aspecs of the machine vwery cool seen alot of your videos
Thanks a lot, Robert! I appreciate that!
I've just started using the rowing machine in the gym so that I can burn the calories and burn stomach fat. I'm aiming to get a six-pack so I've added the rowing machine exercise as part of my workout.
When I use to row in the school gym I used to use the rowboat game to compete with my mates.
Haha nice! That is a good way to keep competitive against friends!
being a rower and understanding everything and realizing the pain of explaining this tho
Thank you sir. I'm a beginner on the machine, & I've just been writing down all the values, every workout. No longer 😂
Jim carrey
I get that reference all the time!

It does not!
So how do I figure out the distance that I row?
What’s your 2K? Care to share?
My rower just has cal./time/and strokes. How will I keep track of meters isn’t an option.
It's a bad rowing machine :(
And exactly why it is NECESSARY to not buy a super cheap rower
Lloyd Christmas giving me rowing advice wtf
Lmaooo i've gotten that one before!
Please do the one about games on concept2 machine. I have tried "target game" and it was so good I haven't noticed how 20 minutes flew by. Also why they have USB ports and connectors on the back of machine? Am I not using it fully?

Depends on your gender, height, age, and experience!

Where are you when you film?
I use a Personal Training studio at the campus gym that I train at
...casually bangs out a couple of 500+ watt strokes...
I had to stop after the sixth whip effect..
Hahaha yeah I may have overdone it with the whip effect...
I’m still confused
That was hilarious.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Good info but you could have said in about a minute.
Probably haha
