You know how much we like indoor rowing at FBD.

Our very own personal trainer Steve Smith and chin up queen Lisa Hudson will be competing in the Indianapolis Indoor Rowing Championships this Saturday. The event is being held at the International School on Michigan Rd.

Last November, 17 people from FBD rowed over 1 million meters as part of the Concept2 Holiday Rowing Challenge. Steve Smith rowed 250,000 of those meters himself.

Steve on why he likes rowing so much:

“Rowing provides a total body workout. The rower engages my upper and lower body muscles. And I don’t have to find snow or water. I also find the back and forth rhythm of the movement to be relaxing. Training for something like the rowing championship keeps me motivated.”

If you’re free, come cheer for our 2 rowers. Hopefully, we’ll have video of them to post next week.
