Rowing Every Day For 30 Days. Results. At Least 20min A Day.

I challenged myself to rowing at least 20 minutes a day for 30 days, and here are my thoughts and results. After rowing at least 20mins a day for a week and feeling fantastic i knew i needed to push myself further and harder, so a month was perfect. I'm shocked at my results and glad i pushed myself to try more.

    8lbs in a month is a healthy drop. People want a 15-20 lb drop that isn’t a healthy drop. Having it gradually come off and stay off is better than dropping a lot, getting burnt out and putting it back on. Congratulations keep up the great work!!

    If you do that will be easy if your over weight, u retain more water the heavier you are. So if you exercise for 30 days straight your going to burn fat and loose water weight. Then the heavier you are the more calories you will burn. Now if you almost in shape of some pounds over then just a little over 2 pounds of week is normal especially when your leaning out. Because loosing weight and becoming lean is two different things.

    Hi Ariel, I just found your channel. I did something similar. I got on the rowing machine and put up over 1 million meters over the winter. I did lose some weight but I am still obese. I did move some stuff around by creating some muscle. Importantly I feel much better. I was living a slow death in my sedentary job. What I did find was that rowing gave me more mobility in my lower body.

    I can see your body change in the second week that's amazing lots of people don't use the rowing machine but they don't know how powerful it is. it works the whole body makes u lean and if u have a good diet deficit you can sure to loose fat. man I have so many giggly arms and it's slow but I see a different in so much short time. I do 30 a day I do it fast for 20 sec slowdown and keep repeating it. maybe I add one or 2 stroikes u gave me some encouragement but you look good keep it up

    Don’t worry about what you see as a lack of results in your numbers. Your waist has greatly improved as you stated, but something the scale can’t tell you is how much muscle you’ve grown. So you have to counter the muscle gain vs fat lost. You did great. I more this is two years ago, but that was awesome.

    As a rower myself I can say that the most important thing is doing the hard days, like they want, but not more than one max effort hard day per week, like two or three half to harder days and one to two rest days (still rowing but light) per week. If you do this, you push yourself and give your body time to adapt after you push yourself.

    I decided to do my row workout in the morning before work, etc. And even though it is definitely a commitment (which I need) it's been worth it so far. The one rule I made for myself to keep me motivated... can't have breakfast (which I'm usually super eager to have) until I work out which so far is really helping with being consistent. That combination keeps me doing it since I'm terrible at consistent commitment.

    I wanna row because I love the benefits and the way I feel but man.. It's so boring. Something about just walking on a treadmill isn't too bad. I can just zone out listen to music.. But rowing has just enough need for paying attention, especially to technique.. That it is just not fun. I hope I can get past it and thanks for inspiring people!
