Rowing is something that I hadn't considered. It's a good idea. I wonder if they let an old codger like me on a team! There must be one for OAPs!

BUT to put yout thoughts at ease, my rowing club, the chaps who row are all over 45.  There is a uni team and a mix of 25 - 30 year olds but the club is majoritively older gentlemen types and they have massive bellies... So it is for everyone!!! xx    DiscoStick 05-12-2010 @ 4:50 PM                           reply Member Joined: Sep 2009 i always thought you had to be super fit for rowing, sounds like even i could give it a go!

Have you tried it yet digger? issy x
