WE
ASKED OUR CREW MEMBERS TO COMPLETE THIS SENTENCE: “ I LOVE ROWING
BECAUSE”…Here are some of their responses:
"I love rowing because it keeps me moving,
motivated and mentally fit"

I love rowing because rowing gives me a full workout
and friendships I would not have own my own. Rowing is a pleasurable exercise routine. Elaine Freeman
I
LOVE ROWING BECAUSE the benefits I receive from rowing are enabling me to
improve my mobility and overall health. As a diabetic, the circulation in
my legs has decreased significantly, causing me pain and discomfort. The
workouts vary in intensity and are helping my circulation and
enabling me to have a sense of accomplishment.

body to cooperate and not give out on me!!

One chamber of my heart
was not working properly but after rowing for
eight months my doctor said there is no sign of the problem. He
gave me a clean bill of health. I
had a knee replaced and went back to rowing in two months and did the
rest of the rehab on the rowing machine with the doctors
approval. I get a great physical
and mental lift each day from the class and the people I work out
with. -Gene Rupe
