Why Row?

Why Row?

Why row? Because rowing:

  • is one of the best all-round workouts
  • is a high quality aerobic conditioner
  • is one of the few non-weight-bearing sports
  • works wonders for cardio-respiratory health, muscular strength and endurance
  • is low stress on muscles and low impact on joints unlike most other aerobic activities
  • works on all the major muscle groups producing a calorie burn that is double that of other activities such as jogging or tennis
  • strengthens your arms, legs, abdominals and torso, and firms your butt
  • moves your body through a wider range of motion than most activities, making your muscles stretch and your joints rotate
  • eases stress, promotes mental strength and mental health
  • promotes teamwork

But the number reason why you should row is because it's FUN.
