Rowing Machine: HIGH Calorie-Burning 40-Minute Row 

Really good. I’ve been away from my rower for a bit to undo circumstances. I’m back now & this program will get me back to where I belong. Thank you. By the way- I’m 77 years old. Proof that everyone can do this.

Separating out the specific parts and tools for each of the seven step assembly process steps was brilliant on the part of the manufacturer. For the price, I am impressed at how sturdy this ru-vid.comUgkxvObaTzoHoHQLL4lHbJQmExHqsrZQm-f7 unit is and it does go together easily. Well, I was puzzled at first at Step 5 and maybe the instructions should mention that rail #62 needs to be tilted upwards a little to get the rail to fit into the main part #44. I like it that the rower can be stored vertically in a really small amount of space, but be forewarned that this rower is top heavy and for safety you'll need at least two bungee cords to keep the unit upright, attaching them to something; in my case to a third garage door. I have had this unit only a short time, and I will post an update once I've had it for a year. As for working your legs, I have to admit that I'm mainly rowing for upper body strength and I use other forms of exercise for leg strength (like walking fast, biking, or using a trampoline. But if you pull as far forward as possible, then you can give preference to your legs for the first 4 feet or so of travel. I also admit to not taking the two electronic connectors apart at Step 7. I simply inserted the two batteries while the other parts remained connected. By the way, there is plenty of resistance here, even in the lowest resistance settings. Kudos to Sunny Health & Fitness !

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks and to let you know that this video has been my 10k go-to for years.

This is the best workout! I think the side view is easier for me to sync with than a head-on view. In a head-on view, when we're in sync, when we move forward it's like we will collide. I love that the row is outdoors on a sunny day; so much better than watching somebody row inside a gym. Forty minutes is long enough, but not too long. Keep up the great work! I hope you will post more videos like this one.

I’ve been doing the 20min beginner drills for a couple of weeks (either side of having covid) and this was my first real test of a longer row. I found I could maintain the strokes per minute and given I’m just coming out of covid, I was happy with the 6,000m I rowed. Thanks so much for this channel and explaining rowing in terms that make sense. It’s giving me a lot of confidence to understand the techniques and row along with your videos. 👌

I’ve done this four times this week, feeling great!

Well I could only make it 30 today but I'll keep coming back to this every day until I can finish the 40 consistently. Thanks for the videos they convinced me to get a rowing machine during quarintine.

I am so glad you have made these videos available! I have done the 30 min beginning rowing interval woekout 4 times. I just found and did your 40 min fat burn video (you did 10,000 meters I did 7,998. ) the new thing I learned.... The foot adjusted to the proper setting makes. A big difference. I had the strap very close to my ankle, instead of up by the ball of my foot, small adjustment....big difference! Thanks.

I tried it again today. Wow, very efficient workout. Feel so well after ! thank again you for helping us to stay in a good shape. Austin, you are so cool !!!

Great workout! Been down for a week bcos my waterrower sprung a leak 🤦‍♂️ but this got me right back into the swing of things plus i had a rowing epiphany! On my way to being a better rower. Thanks @trainingtall!

Hi Austin! I wanted to thank you very much for all your videos, time and passion. I do this twice a week and asked my PT to create a fitness monthly program to prepare my body for rowing. I am 49 woman and after a couple of weeks this 40 minutes row helped controlling the spm change much better, but most important body form, posture and motivation till the end. I am never fatigued after this session and I got the feeling that my whole body worked out intensely with no stress. Thank you with all my heart! Greetings from Firenze, Italia.

Been doing this workout all week. Love it

Just what I need to start my day in lockdown mode. Thanks for sharing the energy, the spirit and the skills

Great workout, great encouragement/tutoring throughout. i am back to indoor rowing after a very lazy period...so its give myself a kick up the butt time..and this is perfect...note to myself..don't let the negative thoughts of stopping after 10 minutes win..you will be disappointed in yourself.

Hi Started rowing in march been in sport all my life been disabled for the last 20 years got a rower to see if I could get some fitness back after 4 weeks rowing 5 times per week I feel a lot better did this with you this morning good to see your erg data on display, I tried to keep to your pace ,finished the 40min distance 10,100 meters.1.58.8 pace Can't use my legs so much probably about 30% Keep the vids Coming

Really thankful for less talking. You helped this new rower keep a pace.

Thank you for this row along you've made 40mins of rowing fun

Well, I know what my WOD is for tomorrow. Thanks, brother! This video sure beats staring at the PM5. For some reason, there are not a lot of rowing videos between 30 minutes and an hour. So I appreciate this one. Thanks!

Just came across your channel and did this workout. This was tops! I like the subtle not over the top encouragement you give. Definitely subscribing for more. Cheers!

Just did this for the first time. It went surprisingly quick for 40 minutes. Got a good glow on but not crazy out of breath.

Great video, 113kg here just starting rowing. Following your videos for infos, great stuff dude

I did it! The whole 40 minutes! Thanks Austin!

Thanks, I am a beginner and your training is just great. Congratulations.

Thanks for the workout!! First time rowing for 40 mins and I’m pretty pleased!

Loved that, cheers. Was a hot one today. Had to stop to rehydrate a couple of times. May do this on the patio next time.

Hey Austin! Just wanted to take a second and just say thank you! I'm pretty new to rowing, and I've used many of your videos to concentrate on proper rowing form and much more... You Rock!

Three quarters of the way this time.. will keep pushing! I'm new to rowing and I am in love with the complexity and challenge on zoning in onto the pace and force throughout - such a good analogy to life in general :) Developing control on the consistency of the pace whilst pushing with force with a long term goal in the horizon. So hard to shift gears down after a faster pace, yet feels so good to go slow but giving it a rip. Thank you!

Started rowing again so I’m glad I found this and all your other great video rowing workouts! 👍🏽

Finally got to the top of the waiting list here in the UK and received my Concept2 last week. Did this workout today and loved it ( a very sad 800m behind you at the end mind lol ) . Great stuff buddy.

Your one tuff cookie.. I only rowed 8012 m when you said that now you reached 10.000 :0) But struggles a bit with an ankle that broke 1 year ago. However, the rowing has really gripped me, not least your motivational clips on this page. Happy new year.

Will be rowing with you this afternoon! Thanks dude, always great vids and motivation 😊

Can't wait to buy my own Concept 2 model D rowing machine. Whoo hoo! I finally found my sport!

Still a fantastic, stamina building workout for over 80 percent of your muscles. And ofcourse your heart and lungs. Thanks again!!!

First ever 40min row! 8.2k ithna 2.27 split, which I'm quite pleased with. I was surprised how much sweat this generated! Thanks so much!

Really enjoyed this workout, 40 minutes seems a long time and the mental gremlins were telling me to give in on the 6th interval, however the ongoing commentary during the workout was great and helped block the temptation to stop.

thank you for this great training. Good advices, perfect coach :-)

Just did it for the first time. It help looking forward for my next workout

Longest row I've ever done just now, by 20 mins or so! And I didn't burn out because of the steady pacing. Thanks a lot! Awesome! 8.9k, feels great!

I did this workout and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially your "ignore the thing in your shoe" etc! I did 5,690 or something, but you said you did 10k, and i'm confused with what a 10k is versus that in meters. I've got discalculia so forgive me! Also, i was out of breath but not hanging and i sweated, but not majorly - so does that mean i was lax despite doing the stroke rates? Confused from London. Sorry everyone.

Just found this! Excellent row morning. Thank you.

I haven’t started yet but I know this is going to kick my ass.

Wonderful video incorporating the erg data. Thanks. And really helpful since my splits are very close to those shown...

A follow along like this but exaggerated to be more of a long HIIT video would be great. Something like 44min- 1m@16, 2m@20, 1m@26 Just got started this year with a Sunny magnetic and these videos have been very helpful to get the hang of things

Thanks Austin, great workout. Very enjoyable, lots of positive energy and presented very well. It really helped me concentrate on my form and cadence, excellent.

Awesome video. Will do this workout tomorrow.

This was really amazing. I was able to do the full 40 minutes. Id like to work upto 90.

Great video. Realized I have been rowing incorrectly all my life. Less SPM and more power/stroke is the way to go.

Thanks for the great workout Austin. Stroke for stroke for 40 minutes was awesome motivation.

Thanks 🙏🏻 for this, the row alongs have kept me sane over the last couple of weeks ! Would pay for regular new ones. Greetz from Lucerne, Switzerland

Great workout! Thank you! Get those pebbles out of your shoe! Love the side view as it helped me see that I was not being explosive enough with my legs right after the catch.

Thanx for that :) It was a really nice training!! Almost hit the 9k mark. The hardest part was to catch and maintain the 18spm after 22spm... that was hard. Love Your mental advices - especially "we are all in this together" ;D really gives positive kick. See You next time!

Just finished this workout! Great job on this one, was entertaining, I got a good sweat in and also picked up some pointers. Thank u for the great video. 💪

Great video. Really good instruction along with challenging workout. Helping me get my level of fitness back after short minor illness. Much appreciated. Will try to incorporate this one into my regular routine. Cheers Austin!

Just completed Austin's (@trainingtall) Row20 in January and it changed everything about my rowing. Thought I would go for this 40-minute row to see if I could do it. The longest row ever was 25 minutes. Finished under my goal time. The 2/2/1 min pace helped a lot. Awesome

Cool! I'll be doing this tomorrow morning at 5 am!

Thanks for the stoke and the super helpful tips, training drills and full workouts. You have a unique passion for rowing machines that I truly appreciate. It's the best workout on Earth! Thanks for helping me improve my technique, troubleshoot back pain and sore muscles from wrong movements I was doing. Great work 🤌🏽🙏🏽💪🏽

Thanks Austin. I dropped this one into my library of rowing videos a while ago and it’s a weekly favourite. I only started rowing about 4 months ago so really enjoying your calm approach compared to some others. Erg data said 8,593m and as I’m a short 5’ 9’’ I’ll take that. Need to drive the average watts up now. 👍

Wow 40 min went so fast copying you! Thanks again for your help Austin! ❤️‍🔥

I love your follow alongs. Please make more!

9902 second time. After 10 min you were 25 m ahead... really hard from 12 min to 30, then you regain strength... wonderful workout, the best

Danke!

That was a nice workout thought I would try the longer 40 min rather than 20 I think it worked out well. I kept pace.

Another great workout Austin. The slow stroke rates are a great challenge. Thanks mate 😀

First time doing that…really enjoyed managed 8656m cheers

Although one has to be in the mood....👍 I am a 59 year old man...I am loving rowing thanks to your videos (and yes, bought both books)

First time this one, last 10 min was a nightmare ;) greetings form Poland

I will definitely try this. Thanks

This channel is great. Thank you for doing what you do.

Thanks dude. Really good. Take care.

Finally gave the 40 min a go. Took a while to settle quickly to the rate changes whilst increasing the split average. Did find that the splits improved across the rates towards the last 15 minutes so 18s were closer to the initial 22s for splits (keeps you on your toes as the usual 10K might give a better average split this was a more chilled session) 😎

Thanks for this, very helpful to show your rowing data as you are going, very helpful as I have nothing to gauge how I am doing. Will do this next week. Thanks Tall dude!

Thanks man, its my new gym in my home.

This is an awesome sessions- I have only just started to row (4 weeks in) but I struggle to keep time on splits. During this workout, I had to hold a 20/24/26 stroke rate- but I rowed distance less than you. Being 6'5" tall that might have something to do with it, but I feel it mostly a result of poor form as I simply can not manage to row slow and maintain a good time on a split. Are there any tips you can offer?

Absolutely love this, thanks dude

I ordered a rowing machine but it wont arrive for another two weeks :( Im just sitting here planning my workouts haha. Thanks for making these videos man, you are a true bro

I did a cardio hiit at the end of my session yesterday, put it at the 10 setting and did 1:30 on 30 sec off keeping about 30 spm

Hi Austin - greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia! I’ve been using this video for some time now to guide me doing this workout. Excellent video, very good motivation for me, love it! But as a newbie in this sport I have a question, what’s the common watts average for this exercise? Thanks!

I've worked out for forty years. I about to turn 55 . I've lifted barbells, dumbbells and every kind of weight equipment there is. I've done every aerobic machine there is. But I've never even tried a rowing machine. They are so expensive. Are the hydraulic ones a waste of money? But doe it work your body with some resistance? Especially legs it seems like they are just going along for the ride . Does it give your whole body a little muscle building or at least toning resistance? I actually starting doing push up burpees and pull ups as my only two exercises. I'm looking for one or two exercises to give me all I'm going to need to stay healthy and productive at 55 years and hopefully beyond.

Thanks dude... Enjoyed that

Very enjoyable and taxing at the same time, made row day easier.

I like this workout.... you can do it!

10012 today, but sprinted on the last 2 min. Felt horrible, as it is my birthday and had too much to eat!! Couldn’t do the 18 spm properly... and yes, very mentally challenging

I will soon be able to follow along!

Ahhh!!! I would love to row outside! But it snowed this morning. Nope....I ain’t doin it! Thanks for the WOD for tomorrow. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for sharing the know how.

I was going to do this piece then remembered were supposed to be racing the Head of the Dart (Dartmouth to Totnes) but Boris wouldn’t let us so did the 15,000m land based in the garage (scenery not so interesting) 1.04.23 - okay for an auld fart! Will hit your 40 min session tomorrow 😎

Another great session, thanks!

Thank you so much!!!

Dude u have no idea how much u are helping us fatties get laid. Dont stop calling me a champion, i feel like one. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for video! Why you didn't use hearth rate monitor belt? Isn't for fat burning you can get more accurate technique (and not overload your hearth) when following your HR, stroke rate and pull watts? Best regards, Ivan.

Excellent

This was awesome! Thank you :) Your rowing videos have been a lifesaver these past few weeks! They're really teaching me how to hold a steady pace and stroke rate; something I never really appreciated during the rowing blocks at OTF. I used to just muscle through it. Looking forward to the next video!

Hi There. I´ve been watching your videos to understand a little bit more how to improve my training. But something I found out is confusing me and that is the statistics I see in my machine vs what I see in your display. I have a water machine and my statistics are: normal rowing Im at 24-26 SPM with a split of 2:45m but you have 20 SPM with 1:56m. Also if press harder I cannot improve beyond 2:20m Where is the difference? Should I row slower but harder? Am I doint it wrong? Cheers mate and thanks for the advices!

I cannot wait until the gyms reopen to do this. With the gyms being closed I've had to start running again which is killing my joints and sciatica (thank you accutane 😑) but I'm hoping that endurance will help with rowing once I can return

Hello. So, I purchased the Sunny you recommend in your best rower for under $600 video. It's a water machine. In this video you recommend setting the resistance in the middle, so should I just fill my tank up half way or so or what would you recommend?

Awesome loved it now it’s in my training program cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Another great workout! :)

9605m, first row over 30min, can do better, looking fwd to it, thanks for sharing!

How did you get that row machine outside into the lawn? That thing is freaking heavy looks like the perfect weather for doing this rowing in the grass hahaha I cracked a funny. Your buddy Bob

Hi, Austin thanks for the videos. I really enjoy my rowing with your coaching. BTW, when I triy to row at the speed of 2:00/500m, I need to row at the rate of 30/minute. How do you manage to row at the pitch of 18 for the pace of 2:00/500m? My load is 10 for now.
