When it comes to full-body workouts, fitness experts seem to agree on one thing: rowing lands high on the list. It offers an aerobic workout without the wear and tear of an activity like running, which makes it appropriate for even the beginner athlete.

Texas Rowing Center in Austin has taken full advantage of the sunny Texas weather since 1987 by offering a spot to go rowing any day, from 6 a.m. until dusk. On-staff instructors can help newbies learn the basics of rowing over the course of six lessons. Students range in age from teenagers to senior citizens.

If you already know how to row, you can simply rent a kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard and take it out onto the placid waters of Austin's Lady Bird Lake. The lake sits right next to the Hike and Bike trail, so go for a walk or a jog after working out your upper body.

With a variety of cheese and charcuterie in a modern-rustic setting, Henri's will make you smile without having to hear, "Say cheese!" Choose from one of Henri's featured cheese pairings, or create your own cheeseboard. You don't need to be a connoisseur to have an enjoyable time here; the knowledgeable staff will happily guide you toward the right cheese selection for your palate.

Although most customers come for an evening snack (many stop by while waiting for a table at the nearby Barley Swine), lunch is a great time to stop in. The cafe menu expands to offer sandwiches and salads. Regulars recommend the Parrano, a grilled cheese sandwich with caramelized onions and roasted tomato, which is especially good when paired with a bowl of tomato bisque.
