20 Minute Rowing Workout - Best WORKOUT EVER!

[@rebeccaremis4133]

I’m a teacher and had the worst year of my career last year. Was ready to retire. Got a concept 2 when the gym closed and found your workouts. I now feel like I can keep going. Thanks for being the right voice at the right time for me. Year 28 here I come!

[@maynard1234]

I hope your still going. I just started rowing and like you found his workouts and I feel like I can keep going. Keep it up.

[@katcallaway2526]

Hey Rebecca - I’m just now finishing year 28 of teaching! I hope you’re doing well!

[@partoow3965]

Am so enjoying the workouts. I was recommended by o e of the ladies from our Gig rowing club and it’s so helping me get back into it!

[@marie-louiseschmidlin8875]

Liquidated my company, turned 70 last year. Got myself a waterrower. Started with your beginners training and am proud to tackle now the intermediate. You are the perfect instructor! Thanks from Switzerland!

[@neilplotkin3357]

I know this is an old video and you may not see this but I just want to thank you for the reflections at the end of the video. They really help a lot and have a positive impact. Thank you very much for that as well as the videos 33:32

[@lanakoplien5084]

Love being in the boat behind you! So instructive and motivating! I have learned so much and have developed good form. A bit proud of myself as a 73 year old grandmother and great grandmother.☺️ I work with you 5-7 days a week. My hubby as well! Got the Concept 2 as a 54th wedding anniversary gift for US.💖 Thank you for your hard work!

[@justabean1455]

Keep going, you are giving your body the best gift possible!

[@marc4083]

This was a great workout! I really like it when you include both the warm up and cool down in videos! Makes it much more likely I’ll actually do it! Thanks!

[@Sean-hi6io]

Hey brother, I’ve been following your work outs for a while now, I think about four months. First off they have been excellent! Secondly, they have helped me both physically and mentally. I am an Iraqi war veteran, retired from the military now. I don’t like to take too much time telling people about it, especially on any type of social media platform. However, I just listened to this work out today, and like everyone else, I have been struggling in certain areas of my life due to stress, maybe post traumatic, I don’t know, kids, the world right now, Covid and everything else it’s been adding up a bit lately. I don’t want to ramble, but I do want to say to you, and for everyone to hear, that I appreciate your guidance, your thoughts on the north star, being able to control your life, not worrying about things you can’t control, and your positive outlook. The dark horse mentality you speak of has helped me. I feel great today, and I think about why you say often. Thank you Shane!

[@justabean1455]

Keep going man, and thanks for your service

[@lacutienespana2442]

You are the BEST! Started rowing three months ago because my A1c was creeping up over 6.1 while on metformin. Well I went off the medication and three months later my A1c is 5.7 because of rowing with your awesome coaching. I’m 79, 5-3” and weigh 110 and I just crushed this routine. Your manner of coaching is very motivating and encouraging. You are helping people more than you may realize. Love being a Dark Horse!

[@energyhands]

Glad to know this! For a year or so I was having reactive hypoglycemia which is now seeming to shift into high glucose. Family history of diabetes in each generation including mine so I want to make sure I take charge.

[@lacutienespana2442]

It can’t hurt for sure. I’m rowing 5 days a week. A1c is holding steady with no medication. Intermediate programs. 35-45 minute of work. Completing a program and continuing to row until I reach 6500-7000 at each workout. Benefits go beyond A1c control. Go for it👍

[@FletcherStroemer]

I'm 74 yrs old getting back to workouts used elliptical, recumbent bike before, 2nd week into rowing GREAT WORKOUT, GREAT COACH

[@TheMandatoria]

Omg - This workout made me break my record! Over 102 cals burned. I am proud of myself for sticking it out. Thanks Shane!

[@richedwards_ca]

Have had my rower for 2+ years and haven't been on it much. Saw this video and gave it a go today. Most fun I've had so far (on a rower ;). Nice blend of information, motivation and pace. I'll keep watching and rowing.

[@adrianv3916]

I recently found your channel after purchasing my Concep 2 and I enjoy your workouts. I'm trying your 30 days straight and doing most of your workouts. I'll keep going after that but taking weekends off after this becomes a habit. Thanks again.

[@user-xp3vd9ux5t]

Thank you for sharing. I'm 56 and last 2 yrs realized what an Amazing exercise one can do with rowing. The challenges are strenuous but certainly worth its glory....Strength and Endurance at the same time....🚀🚀🚀🙏

[@noybfibonacci]

Hey Shane, Just a note of thanks. Long, long ago, I used the Concept 2 every once in while at the gym and never really concentrated on form, thought my form was ok, lol. Quit the gym a few years ago, did some research to determine the rower to buy and have not regretted purchasing the Concept2 Model D. I then searched youtube to learn to row better and watched some decent videos and some horrible videos then found Dark Horse. I started my home gym journey in Mar 2018 and rewatched numerous of your videos to fix some issues and row better. Well 2.5M meters down and and enjoying rowing more and more and using ergdata and the monthly challenges to track progress and figuring out when I can try to get a new personal best. Thanks for all your videos, passion and keep it coming. You are a breath of fresh air!

[@elizabethscremin4374]

Many thanks!!! You are fantastic! I’m so glad I’ve found out this workouts! Just started with a brand new rowing machine for the first time - my target is to get fit again, I’m 61, 62 this year and wanting my strength back to enjoy life!!! All my love and thanks for the help throughout your videos!!!!

[@lawrenceknapp7816]

Really appreciate the new warm-up cool-down format, Shane. Thanks!

[@iBetsyX]

Been watching your videos using my “water rower machine.” My husband bought this years ago and I’ve been using it the last few months. Wondering why I didn’t use sooner. Used to be a treadmill gal, I’m now a rower. Thanks for teaching me good technique, with your rowing for smaller frames. I’m petite at 5’1”.

[@clarethompson6712]

Again what got platform of rowing.Thank you so much DH from across the pond

[@growganic]

Thanks!

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Thank you!

[@JzeroSG]

Tough one this dropping from 90 to 75 and then back up. Did it without missing a beat but was glad when it was over! Thanks for your guidance, having a tough time recently but found the row time has helped.

[@simonprentice8153]

Had my rowing machine for a year but got bored after first month. Just found your videos and am hooked. Wish I'd found them sooner and glad I've found them now. Thank you. (Subscribed!)

[@monicalovebrown]

Just got me a new row machine. Thanks for being here you got me in the flow, thanks for the company i need it. Great workout

[@villapinstriping]

Same!! That was difficult!

[@DavidMiller-tl5gn]

Thanks man I haven't rowed in a while. Good to get back on the machine. Miss my days of skulling

[@figoagogo7248]

Not done one of your sessions for a good while (most of my exercise is cycling)... It's great to be back on the hotel rowing machine and watching your video, listening to your wisdom and having a laugh at your humour. A great coach.

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Thank you so much. Glad you're back with me!

[@endo71]

Very happy! 5037m, almost identical splits- 1:56-1:59 and aimed for 1:45 for the faster minutes. My own thirty days of Dark Horse challenge starts today, great start! Also “Dance, don’t fight” should be a future t-shirt. That stuck with me through the whole thing!

[@davidkijlstra6193]

Fantastic workout, love the positivity!

[@constantmens]

Bedankt

[@rachelwood210]

This was my second time going this workout and it was such a great challenge without getting too hard where I want to give up. An interesting and engaging row. Thank you!!

[@martinwiedenhoff8137]

Excellent pace and guidance. Even without using the dashboard of the rowing machine this workout is great indoor exercise

[@sandraredmond4812]

Thanks Shane. I appreciate how supportive and helpful you are

[@k2bodysculptingllc821]

Hey man I usually watch you on the TV so I had to switch to my phone just to tell you that your workouts are life-changing for me. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing good sir

New favourite workout. I’ve moved it to the top of my Rowing playlist, thank you!

[@bmwardo]

Wow, and I was going into that expecting a simple 20 min workout... That really pushed me, thanks DH!

[@James_Young_]

Your workouts are the only thing I needed to get into rowing, been going at it for about 2 months consistantly with only these YT workouts. I really appreciate them. Thank you.

Thanks

You’re very welcome and thank you!

[@derektaylor7613]

Love the new guided format of warm-up, workout and cool down. Really good workout but admit I was gassed for last couple of 90% splits.

[@leafycatboy2799]

i agree, minutes 2 and 4 go by much faster than 1 and 3! i love these workouts so far. being able to sync my breathing with yours really helps me get into the rhythm!

[@adamkanner2413]

Have been doing your workouts for the last 3 months, your mechanic coaching is what keeps me going as I see my erg data get better and better evey row.. Loved this one ,felt great mechanics and rythem. Was super strong and flowing nicely in the 26 w/ 90%.. thx for all you do for us dark horses! 🐎

Thank you Shane. I have been following your beginner workouts for a couple of months now. I really enjoy them and my back is feeling better than it has been the last couple of years. Thanks from Sydney, Australia.

[@katcallaway2526]

Super late to the party here, but MAN I love this workout. Exactly what I needed to stretch things out after a rest day, which was preceded by 3 very hard workouts. I needed to “blow out the cobwebs”, as Shane says. This is one I’ll definitely come back to. Danke, Shane! (see what I did there? 😅) Anyone else just now discovering these awesome rowing videos?? 🔥🔥🔥

Great workout and I love the intensity changes! And your cool down at the end is a great way to end. I especially appreciate the motivational self talk you have there at the end too. "We can control the process but not the destination"

Hello. Just searched and found your video. Today is Friday 30th December 2022. Just bought a Rowing Machine and looking to start my rowing exercise rutine Monday 2nd January 2023....Happy New Year! Got a cold at the moment so trying to get myself well for Monday. I know this video will keep me focused. I will update my progress next week, I want to lose weight and tone. 3years ago I broke my shoulder/arm and I want to be at the same fitness level I was 3years ago. Can't wait to start. XxX

[@sandygoranson6716]

Whew. Getting there. 2 months into rowing. Learning. Feeling form improving. 60 and fabulous. P.S. I’ve never gotten more compliments on my legs in my life. Big fan. Thank you.

[@elissakavovit9486]

Working out with you makes me feel like I'm on a crewing team...this makes me stay aware of my technique and remaining focused and purposeful. And yes i agree with you that the minutes that we are at a lower pace feel longer and the faster pace go quicker LOL that's not actually possible !!! When my technique is off and i feel I am using my arms too soon ...I noticed that my water rower has a pause/release feeling on the strap, after i push away with my legs, where the strap feels like it has NO tension, and THAT's when the timing is to pull my arms into my chest ...SO COOL to find that, to keep my technique on point !!

[@paula916]

Loved the warm up and cool down & no commercial interruption during the row.🤘
