Pilates for Rowing
 

​

​

Rowing is a great form of exercise, as every major muscle group is called into action during the rowing stroke. Rowers of all levels – from club rowing up to international athletes – invest a lot of time in training.

 

 

Fundamentally, rowing is a sport that utilises our body’s levers – their arms, legs and backs – to push the oars through the water. For these levers to be effective it’s important that they stay in good alignment, as any softening will result in a loss of power.
