An individual does not need to be a skillful athlete in order to pull a great indoor rowing score.
A great erg score is the result of a combination of: Miles rowed, weightlifting, and target heart rate training.
Anybody of any age can achieve improved fitness quickly with indoor rowing.
High school students, athletic or not, may be potential rowing scholarship candidates.
A male heavyweight rower pulling a sub 6'10" is considered a red hot recruit.
A female heavyweight rower pulling a sub 7'10" is considered red hot.
A male lightweight (at or below 155lbs) rower pulling below 6'30" is considered a red hot recruit.
A female lightweight (at or below 125lbs) rower pulling below 7'30" is considered a red hot recruit.
That is it for now.
