Rowing is one of the fastest growing recreational sports. Most students have no previous rowing experience but are proficient rowers by the end of the class. Rowing utilizes a sliding seat, which allows one to exercise the three major muscle groups; legs, back and arms as well as the heart and circulatory system. Rowing works the body symmetrically, tightens the stomach and develops flexibility and a long, lean musculature.
