2. USE
Rowing is a very effective form of exercise. In addition to
strengthening the heart and improving circulation, it develops
the various groups of large muscles: the back, the abdomen,
the arms, the shoulders as well as the pelvis and the legs.
Rowing also develops muscular flexibility without exertion of
joints, and it is a recommended form of exercise for those who
suffer from pains in the neck and shoulder area.
