Crew is fun for many reasons. One of the best reasons for rowing is the reward you get after you finish a practice.Since is it is so hard many people don't do crew. Crew is also a good place to meet new friends. Also crew is very good excersise and you will get stronger very fast. Another benefit of crew is htat you get to travel a lot. Over Spring break our crew will go to Clevland to praticipate in a regada. We will leave on buses and do a road trip down to Clevland. Our whole team will be going and it wil be a lot of fun
Above is a picture of a rowing boat with a 4 man crew. It is out on the lake to practice.
At rowing we do many different things. Some days we do wheight lifting and excersise balls while other days we run. But most often we row on Ergs or row in the tank. A Erg is a rowing machine that measures how fast you are going how far u went has time measures how many watts you are pulling and how watts you made. It also measures how many calories you have burned and how many calories you will burn in a hour. The tank is basically a cement boat with water around it so you can work on your form and working as a team. In a week or two our rowing club will be going out on the lake to use boats for the first time of the year. It will be my first time ont he boats so I am excited. For the boats you cna have a one person boat a two person boat a four person boat and a eight person boat.
