The BEST rowing instructions I've seen.

[@billmitchell4423]

Great and clear tips step by step. Very helpful so thank you ! I just purchased my Concept2 ERG. I am a 70 yo overweight, out of shape Deaf guy with arthritis who is unable to do many types of cardio because I have a Vestibular Balance disorder. So, hiking, walking, riding my bike don't work for me anymore. I am working on my form & technique this week, starting off slow, 10 mins twice / day. Going to start increasing each day by 1 minute / session until I can do a good solid 20 mins at decent pace. My pace now is only 20 - 24 SPM, but its only been a few days/ Thanks again for all this !

[@DavidA.20]

Sorry man, hope you are getting better

[@Bjustis2222]

How are you doing?

[@Meems23]

I just bought a concept 2 and i thought i would have to go to a rowing studio to be taught proper form, but this was excellent! You’re a wonderful instructor. You broke this down extremely well!

[@dayeah765caoni3]

You just made the purchase in time for lockdown. Great!!

[@claudiacanales2662]

Can you tell us how you like and if you still feel good about your purchase.

[@bobsaget3044]

@@claudiacanales2662 I just made the purchase a couple days ago and already have a solid 2 hours in and feel every bit of it, WOW you get a work out, just put on a show or music and row away, I like to add a bit of difficulty the last 60 seconds or so, i row as fast and safe as possible that last 60. Super happy with my purchase and have done a lot of research on the subject the key is to use your machine!

[@tonytellum7636]

I’m a 65 year-old male. I have been using a treadmill for years. I came across an ad for a water rower and was ready to buy one. I did some more research and decided to go with the Concept2. I received it today and did my first 30 minute workout. I have never rowed before. Before I received it I googled how to use the Concept2 and found this video. Thank you so much Cassi. You made my workout a lot easier.

[@russheins6458]

8 months later what are your thoughts on the Concept 2 ? I want to buy a commercial Rower and this model is always mentioned when you research rowers

[@jy6839]

Thank you. I'm a new rower and these are the clearest instructions I've seen for form.

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

Thank you!

[@trogg1233]

Agreed! Same here! Thank you so very much!

[@Dalgety4]

Everything anyone could want in a tutorial. Clear instruction delivered in logical steps.

[@carntspell]

this is as good as it gets for clear instructing - NICE!

[@jimskrydlak3548]

Got myself a Concept 2 D model about six weeks ago, so that I could do some exercise at home other than riding my bicycle on my rollers. I'm probably never going to do any actual rowing. This is just a sixty-eight-year-old man's fitness activity. This video has been quite helpful to me. I'm going to return to it time and time again, and also view the other videos in the series. Thank you!

[@ogieshaw9238]

I applaud your knowledge and teaching skills. I know nothing about rowing but I studied karate in Japan with some of the best instructors. Your style of teaching is very similar to theirs. It is specific, simple, and thorough. Anyone paying attention can learn this. Thank you.

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

Thank you!

[@mmoly-cj4bd]

Just joined a gym in Englewood (basically Denver area) Colorado 5 weeks ago. I'm 64, had surgery to repair meniscus tears in my knees back in 2007, so basically have limited my exercise to riding my mountain bike. I definitely know my way around a gym but, have been away for about 10 years. I noticed there are 2 Concept rowing machines in the gym and was smart enough to find you on the web explaining how to use this marvelous machine. At 6' I am about 20 pounds over weight. Combining free weight routines and rowing I have lost 2 pounds so far. Working also on my eating habits as well. When I started to row I could go for about 3 minutes. I went up to 5 minutes and now typically can row 10 minutes on setting 5. This of course is mixed in with doing various free weight exercises. I seem to be leaning to spending more time on the machine and will work towards going distances more instead of time. I'm very smooth on it and your tips have really made a difference with my efficiency and endurance. I feel really great after I finish rowing. I have noticed not many people use the machines. They do not know what they are missing. I honestly hope someone askes me about rowing there. If so I will steer them your way. Thanks Cassi!

[@istanbulmuskisi5705]

It is one of the best techniques I have seen recently. Thanks for the video.

[@A-broken-clay-jar]

Just ordered a concept 2. Very excited to get started . You’re an excellent instructor.

[@jimlimberakis8115]

My wife and I are planning to get a Concept 2 to add to our fitness program. Great video .

[@kroynenno]

Nicely done. Been rowing for 40 years and needed to review the basics again; got sloppy just doing the same routine.

[@MrKisiov]

you can see here even better video :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6K5noCabKuXd6M

[@roboliver9980]

[@lmaoroflcopter]

Love this instruction. "You will mess this up" yup... I was.

[@suleimankhalfani9530]

Today I used this machine wrongly 😂going back to the gym tomorrow like a pro .. thank you 🙏🏾

[@christinelangin3596]

Ha ha ha! I’m a complete newb & you broke things down very logically & methodically for me-I also enjoyed, “you’re going to mess this up,” which made me aware of where my hands should be prior to my knees coming up-thank you!

[@Mirzeli13]

Just purchased the concept 2 and I appreciate this video sooo much! I would’ve never known about the details. Thank you so much!!

[@19Jetta]

I really appreciate this. I have a Concept 2 in my home gym. it seemed like it would be a nice combo with my treadmill and spin bike. But I never really learned proper technique so I don't use it much. I am excited to try this out!

[@dayloz9683]

thank u, on the machine as we speak 🎉

[@valeriazordan8890]

Excellent tutorial, great explanations 🔝💯🔝

Best instructional video. Thanks

[@mdjak3686]

Excellent and to the point

[@robertcharles5528]

Do you use your feet to pull back during recovery fora 500-meter sprint or finishing a competitive 2k? Thank you for the video. I have rowed 3 million meters and your technique video will make the next 3 million better.

[@iamric23]

Awesome, just as good in 2021. :) Thank you.

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

Appreciate it!

[@metaparcel]

Thank you teacher.

[@allezvenga7617]

Thanks for your sharing

[@JohannesTraining]

nice video thanks.. greetings from Germany

[@maricarmenferreira2991]

Great! Thank you for your tutorial

[@JPurontong]

It's like your body must mechanically conform or adapt to the purpose of the machine and not the machine to your body and if you listen to the way she explained things, the details, it's like programming it to your brain then to your body so it will adapt to the purpose of the machine.

[@DeeTeaDee]

Gave me brain a headache reading that mate

[@JPurontong]

@@DeeTeaDee practice mate, practice

[@offgridaction454]

I'm a personal trainer and the motion looks a lot like a deadlift meets a hack squat meets a row. These must be good for lower extremities and your entire posterior chain

[@CostantinoLenzi]

good teacher

[@bumpercoach]

push-pry-pull reach-rock-roll

[@brucek1102]

How important is it to keep your toes basically pinned to the footplates? i notice that it's natural to let your feet release up just a little, which changes the stroke slightly.

[@lynchvideodromekubrick9243]

Thanks!

[@scottumphrey1769]

Very well done. THank you.

[@keeloraz9452]

awesome ... needed this.

[@andynogueras]

Thank you, you r a great teacher.

[@federicosentinelli8905]

nicely down.I wish you were here with me when I'm rowing!!

[@hchamani]

Clear instructions!

[@ezridax]

Well done!

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

Thank you!

[@JOSEIGNACIOPaseos]

In my opinion, when backing, with arms outstretched, as soon as the hands pass a little more from the knees, the legs have to start to shrink and not wait as you do until the hands are almost at the height of the ankles, as you do. On the other hand, it is good to comment that the handle does not grip, it is held, with the thumbs down, without making force with the hands, so as not to pass the tension to the arms and to the back, this consumes energy.

[@hooriyahamzah7428]

Fabulous thank you so much

[@gixerags750]

Nice video

[@khue6377]

Nice video... thank you

[@Edcabraltv]

Thanks 😊 so much

[@shanekelly2260]

I may be wrong but in my opinion the shins are supposed to be vertical at the catch

[@danielmocsny5066]

And yet the real power stroke at 4:16 does not quite match the earlier idealized pattern - the demonstrator's spine is already tilting back past vertical before the legs are fully extended. The three "separate" parts of the power stroke actually overlap when a rower gets going.

[@derwaechter01]

I noticed that too, she also starts pulling her arms slightly before the movement of her back is finished. But I guess that's OK, isn't it?

[@mb2015]

Here I Was Doing All The Wrongs On This LoL Thank You For Sharing 👍

[@helenmrozek]

than you so much explain is clear 👍👍👍👍

[@bhim2234]

Thank you soo much

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

You're welcome!

[@滴漏式咖啡]

very clear！

[@LinkBuildingServicex]

Great explanation, Cassi. Is there other position if I want to lose weight and belly? Thanks ^^

[@DeeTeaDee]

I saw jim carey say your arms should go DOWN when you head towards recovery position

[@edsonherald3720]

Muito Obrigado !

[@nataliezementbeisser1492]

I am the best rower in my gym

[@psmith7344]

Does she have more rowing videos?

[@canonymous8035]

I just set mine up today and tried it out for 3 minutes. I dont feel much burn in my legs, mainly upper body. Is there any resistance on the seat

[@TheWolf5053]

Thank you very useful

[@dominickborino2369]

how can I eliminate hand and wrist pain while rowing? ty

[@kaeruvp4947]

Really good explanation, but my gosh I struggle not to bend the knees too early on the return...

[@ElDuderino502]

My seat generally touches my heels during the recovery. Is that a problem?

[@Dowan_Gim]

Great. Simple. Thank you.

[@cornel999]

any chance of shoulder impingement? can you grasp the bar with palms facing up instead?

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

Never heard of this being an issue. Elbows shouldn't be coming up anywhere high enough to cause issue!

[@somedayzo6]

What a fabulous body!

[@willemh3319]

cause i do not have body stability paralized can you mount a seat on the sit

[@GUIDE_Nico]

Would you explain the power graph on the Rower?

[@davidkreizelman5720]

Started a 45 workout, no rest periods, about 30s/m at around a 5 intensity setting. Feels fine after a few weeks. Thoughts as to value of this workout? Thx

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

Can you tell me more about the workout? I would keep the strokes/minute closer to 20.

[@wannabenatural2012]

Hi, new here my gym has one the wheel has numbers on it. What are they for

[@marciacelis9653]

Me encanta

[@RockyKarthik]

Where to buy it? Not available anywhere other than Amazon. And amazon is selling it for more than Concept2 website.

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

Check out Rogue Fitness!

[@marcelopisani8157]

By the way...how long to do everyday this...?, everyday is good or better 1 days yes and 1 day rest...?

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

Head to ucanrow2.com/ for additional resources!

[@destinationunknown4959]

Shame their website does not work. It is a broken link.

[@FakeAccount-fd5ne]

You look like Abby from The Last of Us!

[@RVAPerformanceTraining]

I see it!

[@kirbyammonsjr8491]

Do you burn alot of fat doing this

[@Ivan-kx8hy]
