YMCA Programs
| Concept2 Proudly Supports the YMCA Community A growing number of YMCA programs across the country have active and successful indoor rowing programs, yet others have never heard of indoor rowing. If your Y is one of the latter, you may be interested to learn about the increasing amount of innovative programming now being offered to YMCA's and other fitness facilities. Indoor Rowing is a wonderfully flexible activity which can be done either in class format, or on an individual basis. This makes it suitable for Y's of all sizes and budgets, as evidenced by the two stories below. The West Side Y is an example of a class-based rowing program with a roomful of rowing machines. The YMCA in Fredericton, on the other hand, takes great advantage of available programming with just two rowers. In fact, they only had one when they first started participating. Besides the innovative programming, what's so great about rowing? It's a superb total body exercise, which is suitable to a wide range of ages, sizes and levels of fitness. The seated nature of the motion makes it impact-free, yet it offers a cardiovascular workout that's hard to beat. It involves all the major muscle groups of the body, strengthening them and promoting flexibility through a wide range of motion. It's also a terrific calorie burner. |
