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.
