ROWING

Row for health! Rowing is one of the healthiest spor and slide seat rowing is the most magnificent sport there is.

The Whitehall Spirit Solo 14 is one of the worlds most beautiful, seaworthy and stable rowboats. Anyone can enjoy keeping fit and being out on the water. Slide seat rowing gear turns a light classic rowboat into an efficient, enjoyable exercise machine that provides double the calorie burn of jogging. How is this possible, you might ask?   By using both legs for the major part of the stroke there’s no impact or strain on joints or ligaments and you use all of the body's major muscle groups while slide seat rowing.
