335lbs life going to shit, decided to buy a rowing machine to help myself out, 30 days of your workouts and eating healthy, down to 295, first time in 6 years my weights started with a 2. Thank you for the motivation that I need to push myself to get better. 5/26/23: Mostly just making this edit for my own motivation but officially down 90lbs to 245lbs as of this morning, so if you think it can't be done, it can be my friends.

@@bmthfan1231 keep pushing yourself even if you're tired, or sick or sore do a workout even if it's for 10 minutes get yourself moving. In the beginning I struggled to get through a beginner workout now I'm able to get through an advanced workout and not feel dead. Download an app to track calories. I've been using Mynetdiary and it's super easy and helpful. Don't get discouraged, I weighed in at 268 this morning and I know I still have a long way to go to be where I want to be, but I'm a hell of a lot better off than where I was. Just keep yourself motivated and build a habit of working out.

I’m 67 and just got a used concept 2 model c. Loving it! Degenerative arthritis in ankles make it hard to strap in, I was thrilled to find out it works great without strapping in. At 5-9 and 157 lbs I actually need to add back weight, mostly in lost muscle mass from meds I’ve been on but weaning off of. The videos are great. I did put the machine up about 10”- 14” (front to rear) to accommodate my very bad knees.

I'm 73 and my wife is 78. We try to walk 2-3 miles each morning and just bought a rowing machine to improve our overall health. Today was our first day using it but didn't get 20 minutes in. My wife did 10 minutes and i did 12 minutes. We hope to work our way up to the 20 minutes within the month and then when comfortable look forward to moving to your intermediate workout. Thanks for showing us how to properly use our rowing. machine.

10-12 mi it’s as a start is amazing. Most can’t do 5 minutes to start. The key is 24/25 strokes, and keep your breathing under control. Then 10 minutes will feel like a warmup.

Removed the laundry from my rower, the excuses from my head and did this workout today after months of it sitting there, a constant reminder of what I'm not doing. I was going to do a 10 minute beginner workout, but I'm a bit beyond that, or so I thought. This one was tough for me. The sweat and mascara (I did this at the end of my workday) running down my face, my jiggly arms and legs and my heartbeat that's slowly steadying, is all evidence to that. If this will be the catalyst to me getting back on track, I can't say for sure. What I can say, is I feel great and proud that I finished it. So much of what you talk about during the row, Shane, really struck home with me. Thanks!

I can watch the CC and listen to my playlists, mirroring the movements shown. I do still have a death grip on the handle at times. I am a 55 year old woman, 5'4- 135lbs. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong just by watching the instructor, again and again. Thank you for teaching the form and hammering home some of the beginner pitfalls.

HI!! This was a fantastic workout! I am finally rowing regularly (purchased my rower over a year ago but never really got into it). Thank you for the motivation. Your comment about how you want your body to move better is why I am doing this, in addition to burning fat and get healthy.

Like so many others, I came here as a total beginner. Words cannot express how much you and your channel mean to me. At 56, I WILL succeed not only at rowing, but will carry that momentum into my personal and professional life! Thank you!!!!!!

I love this! I am trying to build plenty of Cardio into my gym sessions and thanks to your detailed teaching, I'm falling in love with rowing. I really appreciate your sessions. I am recovering from serial bilateral knee replacements, the right on May 10, 2021and the left on August 9, 2021. I was suffering from severe medial knee osteoarthritis that had plagued me for 7 years. I knew going to the gym would make my recovery after surgery, which was imminent, much easier and I went to the gym two years beforehand and hired a Personal trainer. It worked! I sailed through surgery and recovery very well. My surgeon is absolutely delighted and cleared me this week to use any piece of equipment in the gym that I wanted to. Three months post operative from the left knee replacement I'm walking 2 miles at 3 mph on varied terrain with no pain and no swelling. Hopefully, I'm "dark horse" material! I am turning 71 on 12/20/21 and will have the best holiday season I've had in years with my "new legs". Thank you so much for your dedicated, thoughtful teaching style. Those of us learning from you very much appreciate it.

This was excellent!! Thank you! I just got a concept 2 rower for Christmas and I’ve done a couple of your beginner workouts. I really think I’m starting to get a good feel for the stroke and keeping good form. All with your great tips and explanations. 😊

It was pure delight meeting you in person at the Melaleuca Convention. What a thrill for me! I love your kindness, your humor, your sweet and loving words about your father, (from one of your workouts), and how you break instructions down so they're easily understood. Thank you! I worked with John at Convention and he was so helpful, attentive and kind and his accent was lovely! ;-) You two are excellent examples of masculinity and I sure appreciate that! I am finally understanding the connection between leg push and arm pull to achieve the desired stroke rate but I still have a hard time holding 22. I vacillate between 21 and 23 and occasionally hit the mark but I am loving rowing and I'm feeling stronger. I'm so grateful that someone directed me to your instruction. It's so easy and fun to row with you. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your videos. I’m 60 years old, with a COPD diagnose. I struggle with committing to a workout. But, your videos, help me stay motivated. I don’t have a Concept 2. But, it’s on my bucket list. Thank you !
