I used to have back pains, was overweight and sufferd hypertension. I rowed it all off. Dark horse and training tall helped me a lot in mastering the machine. By far my best investment, in time and money, ever.
How long and often do you row?
I have used my rower, bike and elliptical for 7 years now and last year I got the greatest hack, Occulis VR. Now I can kayaking or canoeing on a river, in the Arctic, in Thailand, over a waterfall. Awesome best thing I added to my cardio days!
I really appreciate the length of time you leave text visible during your videos. That allows more time for screen capture and easier reference later. Good info! Thank you
Noted and good to know. I hope you know how much I appreciate feedback like this because often we're shooting at a moving target so it's nice to know when we're doing something right for you guys.
Thanks. I just received my concept 2D black. It was my goto equipment at the gym. Covid 19 forced me to get my own. The best investment I made, I think.
Excellent choice Mathew!
The greatest tip I ever received was not to use the foot straps - this helped me learn how to engage my legs during the drive (which I couldn't figure out how to do to save my life) and it also psychologically prevents me from leaning back too far which spares me back pain.
Ahhh yes, another great tip
I’m new to Rowing …….I love all your videos !!! Very informative and fun
I don’t have a concept 2 but I have an awesome rower where I can get workouts programmed for the tension to be increased or decreased so I dont even have to bother with the dampener. The other day I did a pyramid from 2 to 14 and back down for 40 minutes. The reason I brought this is up is because, if i have to keep changing my dampener I will always pick least resistance vs working hard and challenging myself in my workout. Also let's me see how if the tension is different, if my mechanics change and keeps me more mindful of my form and not pulling with my arms as much as pushing with my legs. Excellent video as always!!
I love the idea of #4. I will definitely be doing that. Thanks!
Quality information and presentation, thank you
Just subbed! Love the content and hoping to learn more
Great video, just purchased the Concept 2D because of Rheumatism and running is bad for my joints. Will fill my brain with all the great knowledge you share about this machine, thank you!
Great video Dean. The 'hacks' are great - especially the #3! As a Canadian, and when the temps warm up, the C2 lives outside and I row by the pool all summer. It's fantastic. Besides, the snow gets caught up in the flywheel, which then becomes a snowblower. Its a disaster. Keep calm, Concept 2 On eh!
Thanks Kevin.
Great tips/hacks. Luv the go outside tip!
Followed the "hack" of just rowing without looking at the screen - it was indeed a very relaxing 40 minute row!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hey! Thank you for the tips. Will apply them for sure
Great!
Liked the fourth hacks!
Loved the forth very much :)
I'm glad!
I admit mine has been gathering dust. I can’t figure out the monitor. Your right I did buy it for a reason. I admit I felt compelled to have to see the monitor and understand it before really getting into rowing. Will use your tips in the morning with no monitor. Appreciate the video.
Thanks for the video! Would you change anything about the maintenance of the Concept2 rower if you keep it in your garage during the summer months (and bring it inside during the winter)? Based on your #3 tip - it appears to be just fine if you keep it in the garage, right? I think the "Indoor" part throws people.
Bought my rowing machine back in late February but kinda fell of the wagon..ugh...having a very hard time when comes to legs...I feel it alot in my biceps....going to work on it now that i saw this video.
Live in an apartment, without a balcony, so going outside would difficult. I put on CZcams videos that have all the nature sounds. Some people have even posted GoPro videos of them rowing in different bodies of water. I just close my eyes sometimes and visualize being on the water.
Hi. Do you have any tips to keep back straight when rowing? Cheers
great to see Inov8s being rep'd in the US!
detach from the monitor for the win ! :)
Hey - I have very short Achilles’ tendons, as such it’s impossible for me to have much of a stroke if I need to keep my feet flat. Should I make some shims for the heels to enable my feet staying fully on the feet area? (Stretching won’t help)
- also, I’m a cyclist who’s looking to complement his training with rowing, as it’s so time efficient compared to cycling & more power based. Any tips for cyclist? Or other specific sports for that matter..
Thnx! Great Channel, getting a lot of value out of it!
There are plenty of people who use weight lifting shoes for this very reason (it has a built in shim basically) so yes that works. But also underlying that tells you you should be working on ankle mobility and ROM as well.
ADVICE PLEASE! Should my footplates be fixed as the machine I have, Delta has one that rock back and forward.( I'm a 59 yr old beginner
Hi, I have a question.
How long is one stroke on the Concept 2?
Hi, where can i get the beautiful seat?
Can teach rowing for kids? Mine is twelve and I want him to start.
Are rowing machines good exercise for arthritic knees?
What brand is the seat cover?
At the fitness center I frequent, rowing without the monitor is something you often have to do, LoL
First time I noticed your bright yellow seat cover. Do you love it?
It’s looks great and I love that. As far as cushion goes it takes maybe 5% of the hardness off the normal seat. If you’re looking for cushion make sure you look at the hornet water sports options I’ve talked about in the past.
Hack no.5: put it in front of the TV and put on Netflix! I have been rowing 10km almost everyday by doing that during the lockdown!
@@DarkHorseRowing I'm don't really worry about cushion. I sometimes get friction burns on my booty though.
Is it beneficial to do a row and skierg in the same session to balance the movement?
Absolutely! They're great complements to each other
You got any advice for a rower whose hands keep blistering?
Try weight-lifting gloves. It’ll reduce the friction.
Try relaxing your grip. Often that's the easiest fix. After that, sweat management is a big part of it so using wide wrist sweat bands will keep sweat from rolling down your arms and on to your hands.
Dark Horse Rowing thanks very much. I will relax the grip. Already got the bands.😁
I had the same issue. Slide a pair of old socks over the handle...never had an problem since up to 42k!
Where did you get that seat from??
Vapor fitness. Link is in the description below the video.
@@DarkHorseRowing awesome thank you so much!!
Do you use an aftermarket seat? The one that comes with it really sucks after 1km
Gains & Gaming I believe it’s a seat cover by vapor fitness (Amazon)
Yes, if you check my description I have links to several of my recommended seat covers and I just did a review of seat covers recently for you to check out: czcams.com/video/AU3qlPYDtG8/video.html
I see sometimes ur heels raise and sometimes I don’t , what’s better ?
He has a couple of videos on this. If you are a beginner, definitely heels down.
If you're going to take your rowing machine all those weird places, why not just learn to scull and work out that way?
No data? But, but, is that even legal?
HA...legal and even encouraged!
