I want to do crew!?

Question

I want to join my school's crew team (rowing). I used to swim 8 times a week and I'm wondering how vigorous the crew practices will be, and what a rower's caloric needs are.

Answer 1

It's really hard, but I'm sure if you work out for about 2-3 weeks every day (upper body) before try-outs you'll have a good shot at making the team! It's a really fun sport, too.
