Good to see a demonstration by a real rower who knows what they are doing. Lots of people use the rowing machine with poor technique and there are even videos on RU-vid which show incorrect technique.
This machine is excellent. I'm recovering after knee surgery (result of a gymnastics injury 35 years ago!) and the rower is perfect to give you a good workout without impact.
My gym has a couple of these machines. Been wanting to try them but I have new workout anxiety. Gonna give it a try after seeing the video. Honestly. Seeing how the screen worked was huge
I wanted. full body workout like swimming without have to find a pool shower, etc. I just started rowing and I love it. You can do a 20 min and you feel great. I can feel my whole body tingling. I'll do twenty on elliptical as well.
Lol, literally the first video I clicked on is by Josh, whom currently working with Apple Fitness+. Going back to the same wonderful instructor I guess.

A rowing machine class is the best for weight loss.
Looks like a good workout and I'd like to try it, but is it easy to fall off the machine on the pull back? I just joined a gym and I don't want to bust my head open or embarrass myself. lol
If you row like this in the video, you actually burn more calories than running (unless you run 6 mph or faster). I typically burn 700 to 900 calories an hour. 100 strokes should be four minutes, so you do the math...
+Giggidygiggidy12 I bought a concept 2 instead of a water rower, but house of cards got me here as well! haha My concept 2 got delivered today for home use!
+Jester435 How are you enjoying it? I'm thinking about these 2 as well. Don't have much space in the apartment, not sure which one is better in terms of space and features.
+Miguel Almeida I have been using my concept 2 5 times a week and an outdoor hike on sat. It is amazing and the concept 2 is perfect for small spaces. I swear by it. Great full body workout. I am a big dude, so I am trying to do as much aerobic as possible. I was 6'2" 315lbs and now I am 263lbs.
The technique can be a little hard to master at first but it's the only way to get full benefit. One thing I note though is that they were both keeping their arm at the same level throughout.I find the higher I raise my arms on the pull stroke (mimicking digging the oars in) the more I can feel it in my arms and lower arms again on the recovery, Much more like actually rowing a boat. The sound is so relaxing too like rowing across a glass smooth lake with the only sound you hear is the sound of your oars stroking through the water.
how many minutes should you water row. is it good to do after an elptical 35min work out. how many calories or weight can you lose if you do it daily or maybe every 3 days. how many minutes should you do it?
I'm thinking about getting one of these because I was just diagnosed with pots I read this is one of the safest ways to excersise with pots they're a bit expensive though :T
Ido Kushner well I do really fast for about 20 minutes, that's my cardio and warm up before hitting the weights, if I don't use the rowing machine I will pick a spinning bike and do the same
Question: Can someone recommend a way to use this machine with one arm? I am recovering from a broken wrist and really miss utilizing my rowing machine? Kindest ~
I ve had the C2 model C over 16 years and the only maintenance I had was lubrication of the chain due to recommendation. Actually it was not really necessary. I ve been rowing since 1976 and trained on a C2 model B already somewhere in 1986. Really the best performing rowers and mainly used by champions ;-) Good luck.
Firman Harianggada It can. You will build strength and lose fat so your muscles will show better. You will not build much muscle size rowing. Muscle growth is obtained by lifting heavy weights.
I was thinking about to buy one of those machine cause it seems comfortable to use and easy to stow when not used. But watching this video, I'm suddenly not so confident in the stiffness of the frame. Was it me or when the guy is increasing the effort, the device-frame is bending ?
@@885wc In the meantime I bought the Waterrower, and I also tested the Concept 2. The Concept 2 has to me a slightly better working position and its control-console is more complete. The bearing system of the seat seems a bit more stable also (anyway quite good on both models). The pulling system is giving some strange feeling after a 30 min set due to the chain-system which is giving some tiny vibrations. The Waterrower is quiter and more compact. The pulling system is smoother. In conclusion, both models are very good.
The woman had poor form. She was lifting the handle over her knees, which puts strain on the shoulders and makes you tired quicker. This is a common first mistake and drastically reduces the impact you could have.
+Fatima Minhas Thank you for making such a good observation I will be starting the rowing machine and good advice like yours really does help avoiding common mistakes than only tired you and make you loose valuable time and lead to wasted amount of gym time and effort in the gym
+Dyaek Romero Get the Concept 2 instead. It is what all the clubs, colleges, National/Olympic teams use. Cheaper and better. Plus the scores you achieve can be compared to others all over the world through their world ranking data base. www.rowindoors.com
Ive been looking for a rowing machine like this but can't seem to find one that doesn't look cheap.. Anyone know where I would be able to find one like this? or the one that Francis uses in House of Cards? (looks similar to this one)
Concept 2 make the best ergometers (rowing machines). That is what pretty much what all rowing teams use including collegiate and Olympic teams. They are quite pricey and I would recommend using the ones at a gym or buying used.
+sam hope. Go with a concept 2 rower. New one is about $950 shipped. Can probably find a used on for $650 or buy one from an indoor rowing competition for about the same. They tend to sell them once the competition is over so they don't have to freight them back. Call Concept 2 to find out where the next indoor rowing comp is. The water rower is nice looking but is awkward and stiff and doesn't have the same smooth acceleration like the C2. The Water Rower also has awkward geometry from feet to handle and it is really expensive. $1,500 - $2,500. www.rowindoors.com
Not everyone prefers Concept2. I prefer Water rowers ( and I row on the water also) and I know others who do as well. I prefer the geometry as it feels more like the boat. And do not underestimate the value of a comfortable seat when you are taking 1,000-2,000 strokes per workout.
+TheCompulsiveCanadianGamer I know they're great. A concept 2 is the embodiment of pain a water rower just makes you want the toilet but in a good way. But we train on concept 2s because all the indoor championships are on concept 2s and records will only be legit if they're on a concept 2.😕
Disagree. I row on water, on Concept2s, and bought a WaterRower. Love the WaterRower. Concept2s are soul-killing machines for masochists who will wish they were dead.
I finally upgrade from a concept 2 C to a water rower. Found a deal on Letgo for a year old First Degree Fitness Viking rower. I bought the concept 2 about 14 years ago when water rowers were insanely expensive. Biggest gripe is how loud the concept is. That's fine if you're at a gym, but if you're in a small condo like I am then it's a bit much. Today there are a million different types of water rowers from cheap to expensive, can imagine many of them are mediocre. Concept 2 is an excellent classic rower that we all grew up using but it's more mechanical than the belt driven water rowers. The differences aren't huge though so really comes down to preference.
So now we know what you'd look like if you only used that machine and that is like that guy i.e. weirdly skinny/disproportionate. So use this in tandem with regular weight training, for your cardio component.
They're finishing with the hands way too high. If they do it for long period or years like that, they will develop lower back problems. They need to finish with the hands closer to the navel.
