<p>Does anyone here row or cox? I'm a coxswain :)</p>
<p>I’d love to start rowing when I get to college, but I’m the most unfit person on the face of the earth.</p>
<p>Eh, it’s not hard to get ready, there are usually some Ergs at your average gym. And do a lot of crunches and anything to strengthen your legs [crew is 90% in your legs, back and abs]. What’s difficult is learning rowing technique, and I’m not sure how one would learn it… There are rowing camps and such, maybe you should try one out. I will warn you that many people have rowed for several years before college crew. I go to private school in the New England area and the vast majority of schools have thriving crew programs [our girls’ varsity crew almost qualified for henley, but not quite 
]. Crew is like a cult though…seriously…the whole team’s really close and everyone in crew becomes so devoted to it.</p>
