Andrea Guyon, Whitehall’s amiable sales person is an avid rower who most mornings, after getting the kids off to school, heads out for an hour rowing in ‘Nimble’ her Solo 14. As many know from reading ‘Nimbles Cove’ her boat is handily moored right outside her back door. Later, here in the office she gets inquires from people all over the world every day and she is hearing similar questions and concerns from a lot of these people. I asked her to put her thoughts down regarding these concerns and here’s what she wrote.

Why Row? Why Now? by Andrea Guyon

Why Row? Why Now? Why Whitehall Rowing and Sail? The real questions behind purchasing a rowing, sculling and/or sailing boat?

Often people tell me that work is "dodgy" at the moment. They are not sure if now is a good time to spend those hard earned dollars on something as frivolous as a "pleasure boat". The uncertainty of this time we’re in has a paralyzing effect on many who could make purchases yet find they’re holding back.

The real question is, can you make it through the tough times when circumstances are stressing you out? Stress is the # 1 health issue in today's society. It is the root cause of everything ranging from heart and stroke issues, over eating, insomnia, pain, emotional imbalance, lack of mental focus and fear. Many people don't recognize stress as a problem when there are so many people suffering from the same thing. It becomes a normal condition… this is when people get sick.

What we ask is… will your health last another year? Two? Ten? Twenty?
What our customers ask themselves is “Will I be healthy enough physically, mentally and spiritually to make it through this stressful time? What can I do to strengthen my body, mind and spirit so I can meet the day with a positive attitude and be present in the task at hand?”

It is proven that spending time doing something pleasurable lowers blood pressure, relaxes the mind and boosts the spirit. Regular outdoor exercise brings oxygen to the cells, rejuvenates the senses and calms the mind. Rowing adds the meditative qualities and contact with nature that aid in stress reduction and add to the over all well being of the individual whatever the age, sex or skill level of the person.

When people are in good physical shape, they find that the mind is keener and the spirit is vigorous. Wouldn't you rather spend your money on a “frivolous” pleasure boat than medication and the "Goliath" of a medical system that counts on us being sick, not healthy, to survive?

We all make choices with our own best interests in mind. Without our health, can we really enjoy life to the fullest? It's never too late to live the dream of a healthy, happy lifestyle.

We all have one chance to make the most of what we've got. I believe we've helped make that happen for several thousand people around the world with the products and service we provide.

We don't just sell nice boats. We provide the opportunity for people to enjoy a happier, healthier life.

Adaptive Rowing Procedure Produces Amazing Results

Here are links to a couple of videos on You Tube about Dave Estrada who is a paraplegic, has been for several years, and how he is using some modern technology combined with rowing to achieve some amazing results including bone re-growth. This is really great news for those affected by osteoporosis as it indicates that regular slide seat rowing will prevent or reverse this condition.
