Some knee and hip issues that were aggravated by running have ceased to bother me. I started rowing about 6 months ago, and some chronic problems with my right knee completely disappeared within 3-4 weeks of daily rowing. It was kind of incredible. That knee had been bothering me for 15 years. I can only assume it was something about the precise repetitive movement. I do about 5km/day but this post is motivating me to increase that.
