Rowers: Get in shape before you hit the water

Posted by Nancy B.

The weather is right for rowing, but before you start, it's a good idea to get in shape. Ken Szekretar Jr., a master trainer at New York Sports Club, has devised several land-based workouts to help any wannabe rowers get their arms in shape and shed some pounds too. "There is no other single aerobic exercise that uses so many muscles in a coordinated manner in such a large range of motion," Szekretar told the Florida's Sun Sentinel. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/features/health/am-rowing0516,0,1500509.story?coll=sfla-news-health
