I agree with rainer. You do get a nack for it after a period of time. And talking to people about it is actually quite fun. Its gets some people interested in trying it too. That leads to making teams ^_^

And when you are first starting it is great to get others involved, but make sure you teach them propper technique and if you don't know how to then send them here. =D

So I went to fresno state yesterday afternoon with a buddy. We were all over the art department and part of the business department. We found a great place where a large water fountain had been drained.
People didnt mind too much. No one said anything and they just watched us jump from one part to another. It was actually pretty cool.
-Thanx guys

Well rowing does help your harm strength and i'm sure it helps leg strength as well. I believe it sounds like excellent training for Parkour. I'm going to be full out training for Ninja Warrior. My main goal in life is to be the First American to win it.

I hate to break it to you but SkyNative already won it I believe. And by the way, rowing not only works your arms and legs, it works EVERYTHING from the tips of your toes to the top of your head. Go do a search for topics on rowing. Iv already written quite a few of them for this site. |

>.< Did he really? Darn you SkyNative!!!!! Wait you sure he won the whole thing? Well Then a new goal!! I will be the youngest American!!!!!
And no offence intended, I am sure it works everything. I just meant it probably helps quite a bit in Parkour to have that strength ^_^

none taken. Rowing gives you all kinds of strength as well as a great deal of endurance and stamina. The boat with the rowers with higher stamina and endurance will cross the finish line at the higest speed with the least effort. |

That sounds really awesome. I may need to try that. Rowing sounds like just the thing i need in my training.

Yea, Its enormously time consuming though. Most teams will have a 2 hour practice every day during the school week, and 7 hour practices on saturdays if you dont have a regatta. If your looking to get into rowing I recommend you try and find a local/high school team. (I should have mentioned this earlier, but I recommend rowing sweep, not sculling. google it if you dont know what it means)

Hey Averinnd, what school do you row for? I've rowed for the past three years at Lower Merion High School.
To anyone tryin' to incorporate rowing into their workouts- be careful! Rowing without any complementary leg exercises will cause you to develop imbalances that compromise the functionality of your legs. Good exercises, as perscribed to me by an osteopathic doctor, are partial (less than 45 degree) wall-sits and weighted partial shin lifts (hold a weight between your feet while sitting with your lower legs hanging off a chair/bed, lower less than 45 degrees then come back up). I'm recovering my imbalances now, as a result of too much rowing specific exercises.
