Why do you need upper body strength in rowing?
The reason you need upper body strength in rowing is because it acts as a secondary and tertiary lever, which is when the back swings and the arms pull in to the body completing the stroke. However the most primary and important part of a rowing stroke is the leg drive which is commonly mistaken to be nonexistent. so the legs accelerate and initiate the stroke and then the back and arms continue to accelerate the oar till the stroke is over. More important then upper body strength would be lower body strength.

Which type of rowing is harder Surf boats or flat water?
Both are really hard, it just depends in what sense you mean. Flat water is extremely technical in terms of the dynamics of the stroke, and the 2k race distance is a world of pain. In surf rowing, the stroke is not as technical, but you are bouncing over waves, meaning you regularly become airborne and are trying to keep rowing while the boat just drops out from under you. The boat is also far heavier. As to which one is more difficult, it largely depends on skills and experience. Having done both competitively, I would say that personally I find surf rowing more difficult.
How to Start Rowing?
How to start rowingRowing is one of the oldest forms of exercise along with swimming and running. Rowing is a great way to obtain a full body workout. On dry land, you can use an Erg machine to mimic the same arm, leg and back motions as those that occur when rowing on the water. Rowing is popular with both sexes, but crews are rarely co-ed. Also, taller rowers have the potential to generate more power because height allows you to make a longer stroke because of the leverage placed on the end of the oar.Prior to any workout, the crew will stretch and focus on working together as one team. When the crew is ready, they carry the skull down to the dock and place it in the water. Once the seats and oars are prepared, they push away from the dock. An important, non-rowing member of the crew is the coxswain. This individual calls the stroke that allows the other members to row in synch. By calling a fast, quick stroke, a slow steady stroke or a mixture of the two, the coxswain determines the intensity of the workout.If you reside near a lake, river or other body of water, check to see if it hosts a local rowing club. Rowing is a great form of exercise, but it takes commitment. This is because if one member is missing, the boat doesn't go out.
