From Maryellen (cancer survivor and rookie rower): I have been looking for something to add to my walking & other exercises since something seems lacking in my overall strength since finishing chemo even though it's a year ago! (What's that all about? You'd think by now strength/balance would be resolved. Sometimes this new normal stinks!) Anyway, I think the rowing will be perfect, especially going into the winter months.
