Indoor rowing still pretty unknown but growing steadily among general public knowledge

Often, indoor rowing and rowing is connoted to hard work and pain in throughout the body.  It does not have to be that way at all.  Rowing is a very gentle exercise for the joints and helps people of all ages maintain range of motion.  Depending on different studies, rowing involves up to 90% of the bodies muscles.  This leads to a very effective workout.  In addition to the exercise their is an international community of indoor rowing people  as well as on the water rowing folks.  You can find a world ranking on a website called www.concept2.com.   Concept2 makes metal rowing machines and is widely used among rowing clubs.  On the water hand there is also a wooden rowing machine manufacturer called Waterrower.  The latter is a very pleasant machine to row because of its comfortable seat, handle, and lovely sound of swishing water in the resistance drum.  Both machines provide an excellent workout.  I use Waterrower for my indoor rowing classes because the machine can be used for other exercises, such as triceps pushes, upright rows, and other standing lat exercises.  You can find more about it on youtube when you type "ironoarsman" or find me on www.row2go.com.

I learned to row in Fontainebleau on the river Seine.  It is a lovely area with a beautiful castle and forest.  The rowing club is called ANFA which stands for Association Nautique Fontainebleau Avon.  If French is not your forte then you can always get yourself to study it a little before you go: Click Here!
