Simple tip to help your rowing technique. If you watch yourself row you'll notice that you have to bring your hands out of the way of your knees as you return to the catch. That's because you're bringing your arms back at the wrong time. There are six simple steps to remember. Legs-hips-arms-arms-hips-legs. Drive with the legs like you're performing the start of a deadlift. Hinge at the hip like you're locking out the dead lift. Then pull with your arms to where your diaphragm would be located. Then you do the reverse of those three steps. Extend the arms. Hinge forward at the hip. Then you bend at the knees like you're returning a barbell to the ground in a deadlift. These six steps will help you avoid moving your hands around your knees when you return to the catch.

What's that, another video of Mark collapsing while struggling to get off a piece of exercise equipment? Count me in!!

“It’s as painful as having kids…..not giving birth of course, just having kids…..”😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. I’ve been through a few workouts like these and I think I agree….

Having recently done my biannual binge of every video you’ve ever made, the quality of work you’re doing right now is your best ever.

As others have said, your technique can be massively improved - you are rowing too much with your arms and on the release, breaking your knees too early.

I absolutely love my Concept 2 rower.

Legs, back, arms, arms back legs.

Awful technique 😂

Thumbs up for Mark attempting

Thanks for the inspiration mark! I’m relatively fit and have been working out for years on and off but consistently now for the first time for over a year. Ran 5Ks regularly but after seeing your videos where you talk about just pushing yourself a little further and seeing what your body can achieve I decided to run a 10k today and smashed it in under an hour. I wouldn’t have done it without watching your videos and seeing how Jenna can do so much with minimal training! Thanks!

Good work on the piece! Always fun to push yourself. As everyone has said already, tech could make you faster with no effort. Same things we talked about when you were trying the 2k. Looks like a lot of your new subs haven't seen that video, maybe time for an update. Would definitely help when you do the hour 👀

Been watching your videos for nearly 2 weeks and it’s helped me stay focussed to workout every day since! I’m slightly less of a fat bastard already! Thank you

Thanks for this video. I was just about to buy a budget rower - but after watching the video I decided to go for a second hand Concept 2 so that I could use the EXR app. The app and machine have been great. The EXR workouts (after doing the ramp test) are spot on for difficulty and make training much more interesting. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Would suggest looking up some vids on rowing form. On the recovery you should clear your knees before collapsing the knees. It should improve your times.

Hi Mark, a couple of tips from my experiments with rowing last year:

Slowly but surely becoming my favorite KZfaqr
