    Rowing IS NOT an upper body sport - this is a misconception. 60% legs, 20% core, 20% arms. When you finish - you should feel the burn in your glutes and hamstrings, NOT in your back or arms!

    I take Indo-Row Classes (as seen on Biggest Loser) from coaches from the UCLA rowing team (former rowers themselves.) www.indorow.com. My classes are basically synchronized HIIT rowing classes and I LOVE them! I would encourage you to see if you have them nearby...they are starting to pop up around the country.

    It is an AMAZING total body workout that I started when I had a broken foot and I would row with only one leg for a few weeks until I go the clear to lose the boot.

    It's a beefed up cardio and it is wonderful!!!!

    Good luck!

    I broke my foot in February and just got out of my boot a couple weeks ago. My trainer put a picture of me on the erg rowing with one leg on the website. Hilarious!
