It changes how you move through the stroke — and gets a lot closer to what actually happens on the water.
That’s where things start getting really interesting.

Can rowing help you lose weight? Yes, but probably not in the way most people think.

On the rower, breathing problems aren't always about breathing.
If your stroke rate climbs too quickly, your breathing rate has little choice but to follow. That's why learning breath control starts before you even get on the erg.
