Middle School Winter Fitness

WRC offers a 7-week Winter Fitness Program open to any 6th, 7th or 8th grader.

Rowing is one of the best all-around fitness activities there is, combining both cardio and strength work that involves every major muscle group. We do a variety of activities on the rowing machine (aka the erg), which allow rowers to improve rowing technique while also improving their fitness. We also complete a good mix of cross-training, core work, and stretching, all of which are very important for rowing in particular and personal fitness in general.

In addition to regularly held classes, rowers also have the challenge by choice opportunity to participate in a local indoor race. The Hungry Eagle Indoor Sprints, hosted by Skyline High School.
