What a great presentation. I actually watched this while my Concept2 is enroute to me, so this 77 year old will be ready to row properly.

You missed an important setting. I've had my c2 for close to 6 years and only recently found out about the undefined rest setting for intervals. I do workouts where I might row 500, get off the rower and do several other exercises rest 1 minute then back on for the next round starting with the 500m row. The screen shuts off very fast and a few weeks ago I saw someone post that if you use "undefined time" for rest during intervals, you can hop off for up to 10 minutes and keep your program going. You have to hit the 4th button down when you get back on the rower but your 500 is automatically there to begin counting down. For me this is a game changer!!!! Edited to add: fantastic video and I wish I had this back when I bought mine!

Great video!! I would also add that ReRow + Displaying PaceBoat is a really nice "Ghost" race option to see visually see how fast you rowed last time. For instance, maybe I want to ReRow the last time I did a 1/2 marathon, but I want to see my actual boat from last time to see if I am winning this time. I've found this to be a great way to see if you are beating your last time instead of waiting until the end to compare data. Edit: just to clarify. If you ReRow with Displaying the PaceBoat, the PaceBoat on the bottom is replaced by your actual rowing effort from last time based on your splits, I believe. The boat on the top is still you, right now, in the present time.

Thanks heaps man, the drag factor was something I didn't know about, nor did I know how to program mixed intervals. Looking forward to checking and comparing the drag factor of the two machines I use and seeing if there is much difference as I suspect there is. I'm working on technique and breathing so knowing I can program a 5 min time interval first up and then get straight into my distance intervals is really handy. Very comprehensive demonstration!

I recently got a used Model E. You can reset the Summary to factory default which wipes out the data from the previous owner. So now the Summary will reflect just my time on the rower. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about rowing until I started researching rowers. Which is partly why I ended up with the Concept 2, albeit more than I originally expected to spend. But the PM5 monitor seems like a great tool. Great video, very helpful.

Brilliant, tremendous, fantastic video. I just received my Concept 2 model D last week, and this video was one of the most helpful and most relevant to me now as a beginner rower. I am a competitive mountain bike rider with a bike FTP of 310 watts, but this had no relevance to my rowing. I have much work to do. First workout = 40 minutes, 8407 metres, 2:23 ave/500m. I love this machine, it's the best fitness investment I've made in a while. Whole body fitness incoming 🔥

@@somnambulantable It's amazing. I'm still in my first week rowing with C2, but it's the only indoor aerobic workout I've tried that's not at all boring to me. My treadmill is dullsville to me, but rowing is so much more engaging and something I already know I'll gladly stick with for the long haul.

Your post gives me GREAT joy! I'm an experienced rower/sculler but I was "beached" for 3 years and only recently bought a Concept 2. My first month of rowing again, this time not on real water, I was able to do 30 minutes, 4997 meters, 3:12 ave/500m a few times. The fact that you are a competitive athlete and I am a middle-aged female and we're relatively close really, really, really gave me a lot of inspiration that I haven't "gone to seed". Thanks very much, Jono.

Loved this video. I have just agreed to a 5mile row for charity, going up against 11 other construction companies. I have 8 weeks to get into some sort of decent physical shape before the race. So I've just bought a Concept2 Model-E PM5 machine. This video makes the options easy to navigate. I had no idea I could connect my Garmin and phone to the display panel. ❤

That was a great piece on the PM monitor for anyone new to it (unfortunately mine is a PM4 so a fewer bells and whistles). Don’t give up on your Polar HRM chest belt as for very little money you can buy a Polar specific sensor from Concept2 which is easy to fit and works well. Now I use Garmin it’s Ant+ gets picked up direct. If anyone is getting low drag factors with the lever set high, simply remove the guard, brush all the dust and debris off the fan blade along with vacuuming - hey presto, mid setting of 5 gives a factor of about 125😎

@@gunner9253 Just make it a habit to use it every day or 3-4 times a week. I was going to the gym on Monday, Wed, and Friday when I was rowing 30k meters per week. It took a few years to get up to that number, but even just 30 minutes a day will be good. I will start off slow again when I get my machine in November. Watch a couple of the "how to row" videos to get the correct form down and don't develop bad habits.
