Even if you’ve always loved running, at some point, you will start to notice the wear and tear on your joints. The problem is…..nothing compares to that awesome heart-pounding-cardio you get while running, right?!?!  WRONG!  Rowing provides just as much cardio but it also comes with some other pretty great strength building benefits without the pounding on the joints. Read on to see our top 3 reasons why you should incorporate rowing at Studio 3 STL into your fitness routine!  

1. It is an amazing cardio workout!  At Studio 3 STL we coach rowing differently that most other fitness studios. We guide you through the numbers on your monitor and use this data to push you outside of your comfort zone allowing you to go further and harder than you have before!
2. Rowing has major strength training benefits!  Most people think rowing is all about the upper body, however, 60% of rowing actually comes from the legs!  This means that while you are working your back and arms, you are also targeting your hips, glutes, legs AND Core!  So, unlike running, this cardio also includes a total body workout!  
3. Rowing is WAY easier on your body than running!  Whether you have joint issues already or are looking for a way to keep from having them, rowing is the answer because it puts very little pressure on your joints!  Trust us, your knees will thank you in the long run.
