I am with you on this one. I am also a rower but did not take it up till I was 53 yrs old. But it saved my life.
I was hitting 184 bpm at 63 with an almost blocked heart artery and the exercise saved my life due collaterals. Now 73 and still hitting 170 bpm plus after stent fitted.
If you exercise to the max then this protects your heart against the old age visitudes that are visited upon you
