Reflection on rowing by a great friend of mine.

Hi Xeno,

Row. row and rowing more will definitely improve your health ie, weight loss, lower blood pressure, help to regulate blood glucose in the normal range, improve upper and lower body strength and flexibility, improve balance,improve circulation by developing new capillary beds and pumping action of the heart and as with most aerobic exercises it stimulates the release brain neurotransmitters that give us a natural feeling of well being ... you feel GREAT! These are all the benefits I have experienced since I started to row 3 years ago. Improvement in my self confidence as I relate to the world is another significant benefit that has occurred as a result of rowing.

Rowing is a very flexible sport accommodating those folks that just want to maintain and improve their health to the competitive elite rowers. Rowing is a complete body workout with minimal force application to the major weight bearing joints of the body . Everyone should try rowing to see if they like it!

Rowing on the water is ultimate goal for me . Rowing a single shell , a double or a quad is an art form as well as a sport that is not matched by any other sport. It is beautiful to watch the rower, the shell ,the oars , the water and the intertwined relationship between them .....it is absolutely thrilling!

Training on an ergometer has helped hundreds of rowers improve their rowing skills. I have trained only on the C2 and it has done a great job of improving my rowing skills. However, rowing the Waterower at NARF gave me the inspiration that this new ergometer would be ideal for home use for myself and my wife who is not a rower yet. I like all of its features and how it feels during the catch and drive. I will discuss the details in the next day or two.

Sincerely,
