Rowing is a fantastic sport physically because as said, it uses all the major muscle groups, your core, arms and legs are all important factors, as well as this it works on the cardio-vascuar system. Rowing is also a low-impact sport, and if you have good technique you could spend years rowing without an injury unlike many other sports. Another aspect of rowing which people often over look is it's balance benefits.
