SWING A KETTLEBELL - do a 40 second plank, then do 5 sets of 10 swings with a kettlebell, you will improve your grip, core, legs, back, arms oh and cardio. |

It hurts because it's not being used a lot. Your body will get used to it, just like my body has gotten used to rucking with 50 lbs at 6am, my shoulders no longer hurt, but they did at first

I've been using Dark Horse rowing vids on YouTube, very good. Lately, I've been putting YT Moab drive thru videos on the TV, 30min goes pretty fast and incredible scenery!

i'll jump in here. i have a concept2 model D with a PM5 in my garage. i primarily use it as a change of pace or weather-related work-out. generally, like to break up 30 minutes of rowing in 10-minute increments with dumbbells or body-weight exercises in between. i probably use it once a week on average...maybe twice if we get a run of bad weather.
i was a pretty decent all-round athlete and made an attempt to row in college. i was a classic "tweener" at 6'1" and 185-lbs, and since i was a newb to the sport the coach wanted me to drop weight to get into a lightweight boat...but i refused to drop to 155 lbs! i lasted about 4 months with the heavyweight team until coach made the final cuts to 4 eights. i did love the sport though. was in the best shape of my life.

Anyone in this thread have a Concept 2 and live in the Denver area? I ordered the tall legs for our rower, but the wife didn't like it so we went back to the shorter ones. If anyone local wants to try the tall legs, they can have them for free. Just PM me.

Closing in on a 30 minute 6k row. When I got back into rowing a few months ago, I was at a 2:47/500m split. Now I'm at 2:34. Need to get to a 2:30 avg to hit 6k in 30 minutes.
This data is from EXR, which I think is more accurate than the PM5 on my Concept2. The PM5 showed that I rowed 6200m instead of the 5800m in EXR.

Bit late to the thread, but thanks for the videos.
This is my favourite activity and use as part as a rehab routine. On a good day can now get to about 5.5 km in 30 mins. Taken about 4 months to be able to sustain 30 mins. Part of the routine is to keep a sustainable heart rate in the 108 -120 bpm region which is the 80-90 % heart rate zone that has been set for me ( late 50s and open heart surgery last year ) . Been great for getting upper body working again and opening up the chest a bit. Will use the videos to work on technique. |
