Why row?  The answer is simply because rowing gives you 
 

Rowing exercises all the major muscle groups like legs, arms, back, abdominals and buttocks. Legs provide most of the power of the rowing stroke and your upper body adds the rest. Rowing is one of the few aerobic activities that can actually strengthen your back.

Greater Flexibility

Rowing exercises muscles through a wider range of motion than most other exercises, thereby improving and maintaining flexibility around some of the major joints. This also makes the exercise more satisfying because the rower has a sense of motion.

Superior Conditioning

Rowing provides aerobic and strength conditioning which can be achieved quickly or over the years.

Burns Calories

Rowing is a great calorie burner. Recent research showed that rowing burns calories faster than cycling at the same perceived level of exertion. In other words, it feels easier to burn more calories while rowing than to burn more calories while cycling.

Lifelong Pursuit

Rowing is a lifelong sport and can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from kids to grandparents.

Impact Free

Rowing is a smooth, rhythmic motion that is impact free. There is no sharp jolting action that puts pressure on your joints.

Versatile

Rowing is versatile: you can row indoors or out, on water or on land, competitively or not, intensely or easily.

Time efficient

Rowing is time efficient and it doesn’t take long to get a great workout that offers all of the features listed above.

Fun and camaraderie!
