Was wondering how many rowers are out there and what your results have been? I am currently following a rowing plan called
"pete's plan". I have found rowing a GREAT way to exercise in a short amount of time! Would love to hear from fellow rowers!

    I was on the crew team for four years in high school (however, I was the coxswain). Rowing machines are a great full body workout. I remember our coach always watching our backs, as many people hunched over. Try adding in sprints (power 20 is what we called them).

    Hey daryls...thx for commenting!...in the pete plan there are intervals thrown in each week....love them....maybe I will get off my butt today and do some sprints.....the program I am doing is 5 days a week....so...what the heck...why not throw in an extra day today and do some sprints?...I fight keeping my back straight...and not hunching....try to keep my abs tight....

    Good luck! It's a great workout. If you get the chance to try rowing/crew - it's fantastic. There are lots of rowing clubs out there that will let you sit in. There's nothing like sitting right on top of the water and propelling quickly and seamlessly.
