Make like a duck and paddle
Challenge Yourself for: 30 days
Paddling a boat can be an easy outing or a strenuous day’s adventure – it’s your pick. Choose a local pond, lake or river and a canoe, kayak or rowboat. You’ll build abdominal and upper-body strength while enjoying the breeze you create. Challenge yourself to take to the water.
(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated the activity within the 30-day timeframe.)

Although the water is still ice cold up here in Wisconsin, I’ve been able to take my kayak out on a few of the warmer days. There is nothing better than packing a lunch and spending a day out on the water with a friend! I can’t wait for summer to come and the water to warm up.
I paddled my kayak today from about 9 to 12:30.
Interested in rowing?

I have joined a gym and am now using the rowing machine to do my paddling. It is too cold here at this time to go out on the water. I hope to be able to paddle or row for at least a mile or more.
