“Marathon runners never die, they merely come back as indoor rowers.”
The Times - March 13th 2000
Rowing Is universally recognized by exercise physiologists as the perfect aerobic exercise, meaning that large muscle groups are exercised.
Over the last few years, indoor rowing has become part and parcel of many different sports and activities, from sailing to motor racing to the triathlon.
Anyone can practice it, adaptive indoor rowing allows people with disabilities to race with each other on a totally adapted device, connected to a main computer.
It's widely agreed that the efficient use of rowing machines is one of the best forms of exercise. Given the right program, it will get both your body and your heart fit, and keep them fit.
Indoor rowing is a fairly new concept, having only been around for the past fifteen years. Going from it's early beginning as a alternative training aid, and developing into a sport in its own right. There are thousands of people from around the world rowing competitively indoors every day of the week.
Adaptive rowing, both on-water and on the Indoor Rower, has grown in popularity greatly in the last decade and in 2002 for the first time the World Rowing Championships incorporated adaptive rowing events. Indoor rowing is a fully inclusive sport and, while the British Indoor Rowing Championship does not have separate adaptive categories, a wide range of disabled athletes regularly compete.
