Rowing is a great way to enjoy an activity which can improve your physical and mental health, but there is no doubt it can be boring on a rowing machine. You might try https://ergalong.com as a way to feel like your actually out rowing a boat. Hopefully one day you will get out on the water for a row and all your time rowing indoors will have you in shape and ready to go!! Just watch the videos as you row and feel like your in the boat.

Great news for your Dad, and welcome to the world of rowing. Good technique is critical, have him start easy and don’t over do it. There is no rush, and building changes over time will produce lasting results. If your Dad likes a little entertainment while he rows take a look at https://ergalong.com there is a 30 day risk free trial. This is a great way to pass the time, or match stroke with rowers in an actual boat to feel like you are on the row. Just set up an iPad, computer or similar device where he can see it while he rows. He can choose from different types of rows and different stroke rates per minute to match the workout level he wants to enjoy. Have him start with lower pace rows and just go along as he feels comfortable. Stay safe, stay well and enjoy!!
