\nGetting outside on the ocean, river or lake in an \u201call water\u201d rowing boat equipped with sliding seat, rowing gear, and lightweight carbon fiber sculling oars can change your life for the better in small ways that are big.<\/p>\n

1. Less Boredom\u2014More Adventure!
\nLess staring at the same four walls on the same rowing machine, doing the same motions, in the same room temperature. With outdoor rowing it\u2019s always changing, views, wind, waves. It\u2019s so much more of an adventure!<\/p>\n

2. Less Stress\u2014More Peaceful, Happy Feelings!
\nLess tense muscles and mind load. Rhythmic breathing produced by rowing greatly reduces mental stress.<\/p>\n

3. Fewer Health Issues\u2014More Ease of Movement and Fitness!
\nFewer aching joints, weak muscles, less weight gain, depression, etc.<\/p>\n

4. Less Stale Air\u2014More Fresh, Crisp, Oxygen-Rich Air!
\nNo odors produced by sweaty gym rats or the recycled indoor air of the gym.<\/p>\n

5. Less Pollution\u2014More Clean Air to Breathe! More Nature Sounds!
\nLess stinky exhaust gasses, less noise, no fossil fuel consumption. Leaves no oily footprint behind.<\/p>\n

6. Less Noise\u2014More Sounds of Nature. More Serenity!
\nNo roar from an engine and no yelling over it to be heard. Less disturbed and frightened wildlife. Noise travels a greater distance over water.<\/p>\n

7. Less Chronic Pain\u2014More Fun Moving!
\nLess need for medication for arthritis; less stiffness, faster healing of damaged joints. Rowing is a great way to warm up the joints.<\/p>\n

8. Less Impact On Your Body\u2014More Time Feeling Great!
\nLess need for surgeries due to impact on connective tissues of knees or hips causing joint damage as with jogging, etc. Rowing: a symmetric, balanced loading of 90% of the body\u2019s muscles in a smooth fluid motion.<\/p>\n

Rowing is one of the best health and fitness activities in existence. It\u2019s a total body workout that is gentle and effective. An all water rowing\/sculling boat is safe and can easily handle wind and waves. Some are even available with sails, which adds yet another dimension to being out on the water all year long.
