Arthritis is Helped by Regular Slide Seat Rowing

 

I am now 73 years old and row regularly, off Gibsons in the ocean, on lower Howe Sound and Shoal Channel. These days I seem to be averaging two or three sessions per week, year round, over a 2.5 nautical mile course. This is in addition to a 1.5mile round trip walk to the marina, where the boat resides on a floating ramp. The main restriction on rowing frequency is adverse wind condition: out flows in the winter and westerlies in the summer. My last job each night is reading the marine weather forecast.

I have severe arthritis in both knees and one ankle. As a result I recently gave up down-hill skiing after 60 years on the slopes. Also, cardio-vascular heart disease is a new enemy.

Rowing is the best and most sustainable low impact cardio-exercise for me. In addition, it is great pleasure and relief of stress to be out on quiet water with only sea life and water birds for company.
