Blood Vessels

Another Mile of Blood Vessels? by Dr. John Degnan

Good morning fellow rowers and today a special welcome to the seasoned ones that worked hard to build our wonderful NORTH AMERICA. Therapy usually starts with a goal so I am going to ask you to dig out that old shoebox of memories. In it find a flattering photo of yourself, sit down, close your eyes and take a trip....feel yourself in your old Chuck Taylors, and lets go! 

Whitehall Rowing and Sail has built for each of us a time capsule with which we can row your physique back in time. The physiology of non-contact aerobic exercise is ideally suited for the aches and pains that have ever so slowly crept into our lives. 

Your blood not only carries oxygen to the cells but also the waste products away. The more you exercise the more efficient this process becomes. Lastly a pound of fat is not only ugly, it requires over a mile of blood vessels, which contributes nothing to your health...SO think about how much less work your heart has to do with each pound you row away.....

Strength and honor  
DR.D
