Should i do rowin?

Question

whats the body type for rowing? im interested in doing it. but i dont know if it would be fun or not

Answer 1

its a great sport, it allows you to bond with friends, definatley worth it. Lotta Fun, do it for sure. but remember its a commitment,

but

WARNING: A lot of Hard Work, early mornings, ergos,

I was training 5 times a week and racing on Saturdays during school (6 trainings and around 20 hrs a week but that was senior days and it could be different for you)

but it is definatley worth the hard work, body size doesnt matter as i was only 55kgs, in yr 10 (15years of age) and still pulled very respectable times.

Advantages:

Bonding with Team

It's often fun

You become very very mentally Strong

You become , Very fit  and strong

The regattas are insane

Great community

Rowing Camps

..... the list goes on

Disadvantages: (Depends on your age/school/coach)

Ergos = Death

The time (shouldnt be too bad i did it during my final year of school and did well)

The pain (some times)

Answer 2

you should definitely do rowing! i row in Ireland and it it great fun but can be hard work at times! personally i don't think there is much of a body type because as you begin to train your body will begin to adapt to the changes strength and endurance wise and you will find yourself becoming fitter! so don't worry bout your "body type" and just give it a go as i guarantee that you will have a brilliant time doing it!!!! believe me its worth it!!!

the 1 and ONLY downside to rowing in my opinion would be ergo!!!!its a pain and i dread the day that our coaches tells us we are having an ergo test!!!!!!!

oh an also gettin up early isnt much fun :(

Answer 3

Fun depends if you love to work hard, and may get wet.

Ideal body type is tall and not heavy.

But their have been all shapes of good rowers, some very slim, some pretty heavy.

Its intense cardio with pretty good or better strength and balance.  I loved it.
