About Rowing

The nature of rowing is pleasurable – a pastime which invigorates the body while relaxing the mind.

The exercise of rowing relates to the work done by an oars-person to move a boat through the water. An increase in effort by the oars-person will result in a faster boat. As the speed increases so does the drag acting on the boat, this requires the oars-person to work harder in order to maintain boat speed. This effort by the oars-person is achieved by recruiting all major muscle groups sequentially to form a continuous even stroke. When rowing, the connection between the oars-person and the moving water is an immersed paddle, this natural fluid connection results in a smooth, low impact form of exercise.
