Crew is actually kinda difficult.. I know because I went out once on a boat and had to row to shore and that alone was difficult even though I was with a person who was experienced and telling me what way to row

Mind you, apparently the gym is getting a load of new machines in next week, and these go up to "11"

The rowing machines are much easier than actually rowing in a boat. I would agree, the machines are about a 5. But actually racing takes much more concentration and focus.

I agree. Do you spend the time on the machine consecutively or do you use it multiple times a week.

Finally, I have found someone else that rows.....it's been quite some time.....

Just thought I'd put it about a 8/9, because rowing is a bitch to learn. Not only is it hard to learn, but being good at it is an entierly different affair.

BTW Mandy, I do give a shit. Kinda sorta

Same, I do rowing awesome sport.

So much easier. Don't have to worry about timing or balance.

A challenging sport?

1 being no challenge, 10 being very challenging.
