About Rowing
Smooth, non-load bearing, rhythmic, whole body and low impact. It is ideal for any user regardless of age, sex, or physical condition. "Rowing, indoors or outdoors, at any exercise level of intensity, requires a greater exercise expenditure than any other aerobic activity. Calories are burned in relation to the number of muscles used and the intensity and duration of the exercise. Rowing with a sliding seat uses a very large muscle mass since the upper, lower and trunk muscles are used vigorously" Dr. C Everett Koop- Former US Surgeon General There are 2 options when going through this module, you can click next to learn about technique in a sequential way or use the following quick links below: The Nature of Rowing (pages 2-7) History Of Rowing (pages 8-9) Rowing and the WaterRower (pages 10-11) Training for Rowing (pages 12) Competitive Rowing (pages 13)
