How to be a good rower?

Question

So... I've been checking out the olympics and those dudes rowing are fit!

I genuinely wanna know how to start off in the sport. I dont know if I'll be good at it.. but I've rowed a couple times in a surf rescue boat and I've ridden a bike class 6 times a week for a couple of years so my cardio health isn't bad... and even if I do say so myself I look mighty damb fine in my spiderman lycra suit..... so I think I'd look just as good as those blokes in the rowing teams there with their goolies sticking out! (lol .. that last bit was an attempt at humour I'm a reformed troll... honest)..

So what do you say? Is there a club I should join in Sydney or what's the gig?

Answer 1

icy, just start with badminton and work your way up slowly, lol

Answer 2

You need to check your national web site for a local rowing club in your area.  Most national rowing web sites have a link for local clubs.  Most local clubs will have a beginner class for those who are interested in starting the sport.  Also rowing is a total body workout.  It is one of the hardest sports physically and that is why rowers are always so fit.  It really tones your body.  Check out: http://www.rowingaustralia.com.au/homepa...
