I am 37 years old and love fitness, working out, and challenging myself. I am very interested in health, nutrition and conscious living. I am an adapted physical education teacher (PE teacher for kids with disabilities). I played college basketball and have accumulated many injuries over the years. I have had 5 knee surgeries, plantar fascia release surgery, and IT band problems from running and other weight bearing workouts/sports.
I was looking for something that would be "easier" on my body in terms of pounding and weight bearing and i found indoor rowing. I find rowing to be the best overall fitness and conditioning workout i have done. The recovery is fairly quick and i have developed more muscle tone and flexibility as well. I absolutely love it. I had been very into spin cycling for many years.....now i spin maybe once a week....and that is only because my spin friends keep calling me a traitor. I have met the coolest people at my row gym (Iron Oarsman) and i am so grateful to have this amazing place to row, have fun, and feel amazing. I plan on rowing till the very end.
Thank you Steff

Indoor rowing really sounds interesting. But what does it involve exactly? Like, are you on water or land? Also, if you're suffering all those injuries you should check out Mind and Body Workout, it teaches you sophisticated breathing techniques from Yoga to incorporate into your workout, thereby minimizing stress on muscles and joints and thus the soreness after each workout.
