A sports scientist switched from weightlifting to rowing as his main workout. He says it's the perfect exercise to start later in life.
Briefly

Lorcan Daly's study highlights his grandfather, Richard Morgan, who began rowing at 73 and became a world champion. Daly observed how consistent training and nutrition can lead to remarkable health in older adults. His research indicates that elite rowers maintain high performance levels as they age. Daly, himself a rowing enthusiast, began competing and fostering a family tradition in the sport. Rowing, coupled with strength training, is positioned as a perfect exercise for maintaining fitness and promoting longevity in today’s aging population.
"Rowing is a full-body exercise that not only enhances cardiovascular health but also supports muscle mass and overall fitness, making it ideal for longevity."
"Daly's grandfather exemplifies how consistent training and proper nutrition can maintain high physical performance well into old age, inspiring generations to embrace fitness."
