Is rowing the next spinning?
John
Here's a comprehensive LAT article by Roy M. Wallack on the sport of "rowing." Of course this is rowing using the standard rowing machine that you have seen at the gym.
The author makes some key points, including that rowing is all about using the legs properly and that technique is all to avoid injury or overuse soreness. The author attended a 50 minute course and reported on it.
While I don't think that rowing will be the next spinning as some rowing enthusiasts feel, it is a great exercise and one that fits in well with circuit training and cross training. As alluded to in the article, it provides a far better workout than an elliptical training machine. The latter is not a good way to get into shape. Still, a 50 minute class in rowing seems pretty extreme. Rigorous rowing for 5 or 10 minutes is going to be a lot for most people. Indeed, one can get pretty tired in even one minute of rigorous rowing.
