Beginning Weight Loss | The Rowing Plan

[@macca9320]

If like to send you a massive thank you!. the last 2 years ive been in a major mentally crisis. I have 3 severe issues and i have not been physically fit in 20 years since leaving the Army. Over the last 8 weeks i have lost 11lbs. My shin spints have nearly gone. I can fit in my old army pants. I have left my house properly for the first time in 2 years and i am 100% happier than i was a few months ago. My life has change dramatically since i started using your videos. I row now out of enjoyment, not just to stay fit. My body has change so much in just 8 weeks because of how much i enjoy your work out. I think for the first time in 20 years ill have my summer body back. But most important I will be out of my house, not staying inside out of shame of how i let myself go. Thank you for the bottom of my hearts for helping me improve my life again...

Great job! Keep it up!

Hooah! You pump me up. Just bought a beginner rowing machine to help lose weight due to mental health issues . Congrats on your journey and success!

Awesome work matey - keep on trucking!

Switched to OMAD high protein,low carb, cut down on the Starches and Sugars and Processed Food, started walking 2 miles per day...... 371 lbs November 23............259 lbs feb 2024 , (I'm 6'2, 56 years old male, target weight 215 lbs-220lbs) if you fancy a pizza? have one OCCASIONALLY, if you fancy a burger? have one OCCASIONALLY, If you Fancy a CHINESE have one OCCASIONALLY, just a little bit of discipline works wonders Remember..... Calories in more than calories out=Weight Gain, Calories out more than calories in =Weight Loss. Will be adding this rowing programme in to speed up the process. Thank you DHR .....

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Love your progress so far and you’re totally right about OCCASIONALLY does wonders. It’s the always that causes issues.

[@dayeah765caoni3]

Eating Chinese homemade food doesn’t fatten you up but American factory made “food” 😂

[@TM-ur1qw]

Calories in calories out is BS. The human body is far more complex that a simple math problem. OMAD is not sustainable. Theres a reason why diets dont work

I have been following dark horse for many years now, he is THE BEST!! If you are new to this channel stick around, you won’t find a better motivator or online coach that is not only knowledgeable but engaging with his audience also 🤩

Wow, Welcome back Coach.

[@hanshans387]

fantastic intro plan, great vid dude! moderation, not deprivation is my mantra when advising people about diet!

[@bludog4657]

More great direction and encouragement from Shane! Thanks So much.

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Always here for you

[@T0DDFTH3R]

Great video. I needed to hear some of those new perspectives as well as the training format. Thanks, Coach!

[@Iamam313]

just ordered my model D concept 2 rower yesterday (which I have been wanting to do for at least 5 years), finally managed to make enough money to be able to purchase it...can't wait to use it, I'm gonna be all over it for a while I suspect. The wait alone...we're basically married now

[@courtneyroans8635]

I will try this soon. Thanks ! 💪🏾❤️

[@petervandierdoncq1468]

Special thanks to you,five weeks ago I saw your video of the Perfect beginner rowing workout.Together with the video on the rowing machine im a few weeks on the go.Not to fast just perfect.I am not a fan of weights so I’m doing the combination of rowing/push ups.And i can tell you,it’s just perfect and hoping I’m getting better and better.So again thanks!! Keep up making great videos.greetings from Belgium(Europe)

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Great work. Love that this becomes the next step in the journey of what you’re already doing!

[@grantprice6803]

Awesome thanks for the tips and motivation

[@1984preben]

Tack!

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Amazing, thank you

[@123.MikeCheck]

Thanks for the kick in the ass to get after it!

[@pete98146]

Thanks for the vids! I'm a new rower. Picked up a used Concept 2 and started rowing. I have 4mm leg length discrepancy. I noticed my left foot (my left leg is longer) is hurting a bit and my right hip is as well. I'm sure it has to do with leg length discrepancy. I went thru this with my road bike and was able to fix with cleat shims. But how about rowing? How do you fix LL discrepancy? Thanks in advance...Pete in Seattle.

[@heathersteinhoff831]

@pete98146 I have the same (right leg is 5mm shorter). When on my feet to exercise I have orthotic inserts, but for rowing I wear lighter shoes and pop in a foam heel lift in my right shoe. This was given to me at clinic when I was first diagnosed and I still use it. I have recently started rowing and this works for me.

[@ITSVenai0208]

I'm loving my rowing machine and ❤ my workouts 💪 🙌, Thanks Dark 🐎

[@gabbyrose6823]

I love my rowing machine. but I had to lay low on it, because I hurt my back not on the roller at work. so I’m ready to get back to it I gained some weight. So l’m going to take it easy then get back into my routine. Thanks for the video I love your channel

[@DarkHorseRowing]

You got this! Welcome back

[@teydikaSI]

When we moved to a house my husband got us one of the budget rowing machines and honestly, it's been just sitting there for a looong time. But then something clicked and I started using it recently, starting with beginner videos and getting tips how to properly move. I am so grateful for this channel and all the videos and help. I have a lot of weight to lose and this seems to be the only thing I can actually do and even like. Not expecting miracles, but hey, anything is better than nothing? I was wondering though, being quite short, having really short legs, if I follow along what Shane does in a timed workout, I'll never really get the same result, unless I go faster, right? If he does 5k in 20 minutes, chances are I'll only do half, right? Or is there something else I should be mindful of?

[@gixerags750]

With the rowing machine , if you have slight kyphosis and want to improve you're posture , it's kind of hard focusing on keeping your back straight and , as you suggest relaxing your shoulders, kind of a catch 22 ? Any advise appreciated. Cheers.😊

[@francesco.virzi4]

Great video, great format!

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@francesco.virzi4]

I really appreciate all your follow-along rowing videos, that's how I train! Keep it up@@DarkHorseRowing

[@JudgeMarQ]

Have a question for you, do you have any thoughts about the Teeter Power 10 Eliptical Rower. Im a big guy and want me and my kid to get in some low impact cardio. Dont know if i shoud get the teeter 10 or get a regular rowing machine.

[@DavidMann10k]

So that... I've never heard that one. Interesting!

[@marcusscrafton535]

Hey Shane. Does this program work for people in their 50s? I started the Concept2 5k programme on 1 January and after two weeks I realised I was pushing too hard against an arbitrary goal rather than focusing on weight loss

[@MrHugodiegs]

Thanks for sharing. The main battle begins after 20PM facing the fridge. :)

[@melissadell3881]

Drink water! 💦❤🎉

[@shaofuhai]

hii I have a question, how much time is it 3.000m or 6.000m of rowing approx?

[@Soter_Rev]

I'm curious, what drag factor do you typically use for your average workout?

[@appdev4812]

After this what should I do in the next week?

[@discoveryssp]

“…And I made that up, and I’m sticking to…itiveness…it…” made me spit out my drink laughing. Loved that 😂👏🏻👏🏻

[@DarkHorseRowing]

HA! I'm glad you found your way to that point in the video

[@jamesfox6660]

How about mixing rowing with weight lifting

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Totally do-able. I find it's more useful however to give each it's own time and place to maximize the benefits of each. Otherwise you're just always doing HIIT stuff which does have value, I just tend to prefer the benefits of each independently.

[@joshhighburger8869]

Alright I could've done without the calling me out at the end 😂 that is such a big issue for me though, just gotta keep reminding myself "that's enough prep, no more videos, go get on the dang machine"

[@DarkHorseRowing]

HA! I 👀 you and I'm here to push you where you need to be which is doing the dang thing.

[@mlbody1234]

Good skills, where did you get your hat from?

[@zwillz8238]

I’m contemplating starting day one. Is there a coupon code to join the app?

[@DarkHorseRowing]

It's got a 7-day free trial

[@TheBigtymebk]

I typically follow your workouts based on how much time I have, do you know how the distance averages?

[@JenniferSmilesNow]

Distance would be based on your speed and time :-)

[@kennethmcfarland7097]

What is the best place way to buy a concept 2 in your opinion?

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Through our link :)? Concept2 is very strict with their pricing so you won't find discounts from anywhere, so if you want a new one, you could buy it through us and it's nothing extra for you but we get a benefit from it. If the retail price is out of budget then I'd search facebook marketplace to find a good used one.

[@kennethmcfarland7097]

@@DarkHorseRowing sounds awesome brother. I appreciate the time!

[@AddictedToKH]

Do you have some sort of printable for that 7-day plan?

[@DarkHorseRowing]

No, but maybe a good idea 🤔

Your app looks good, but I can't afford $40 a month. A much cheaper option with less features would be nice.

[@KathleenGriffith-lh8eo]

So, I'm a female, 57 years old. Is this what you would have me do, first day, as well? Wondering if this is targeted to a younger demographic....

[@TartanMicrobe]

I’m 56 y.o. woman I don’t follow your question. Do you think it is too much ? Personally I think it doable and measured, but I have been going to gym on and off so have so have ultra basic fitness even though overweight and regrouping post menopause body (😢).

[@judyhoomalamalama]

Im follow a plant based life style and have lost 20 lbs with lo impact exercise including the rowing machine . I have 15 more to go. There r so many foods I love on a plant based diet. I use no oils or salt but the food is sooo good. I have to b careful can overdo on plants. happy rowing

[@C_T333]

I've been telling my friends about the two door approach for years, to no avail. Thanks for putting out a concise but more importantly effective approach to weight loss. Will we see you in Prague end of the month?

[@DarkHorseRowing]

The tough part is you can only walk through the doors you’re ready to walk through. Hopefully you can send this to them to help it make more sense.

As a man who is naturally skinny and has spent his life trying to put size on I will have to do the opposite of what is advised here. 😏

[@DarkHorseRowing]

This is me, I feel you. You need to 1. LIFT heavy, often. 2. Consume high caloric density more than you would like. 3. Rest more.
