Queen Anne Medical Weight Loss Announces Rowing Experience

Queen Anne Medical Weight Loss participants - past and present - are invited to attend a special "Experience Rowing" event!

Mark your calendar for Sunday, May 1, 2011. 10 am-1 pm at the Lake Washington Rowing Club.

Participants will attend a class to learn rowing terminology, then practice on the "Ergs," i.e. rowing machines. The session will be capped by an actual row in an "eight" on Lake Union.
Each boat will be crewed by experienced rowers in addition to our "newbie" participants.

Fee for the event is $35, but that fee can be applied to later "Learn to Row" classes at Lake Washington Rowing Club. Weight limit for participants is 275 pounds.

Rowing is my favorite activity. It works your whole body,  but doesn't put excessive strain on your joints. Plus, it's a great stress management tool. You have to concentrate to keep your balance! And it's great fun.

Join us on Sunday, May 1 for a great introduction to a sport you can do forever!

We're all in this together.
