THE WORKOUT: Paddle a canoe with your arms like it's going out of style! Be sure to get close enough to shore that the people on land will see enough to think you're crazy ;)
We took Liam out to the lake in our canoe today. For a while I did the normal paddling, then I felt like I could be getting a relatively good swimming workout in. So, I put the paddle down and started freestyle paddling with my hands. I was pushing me, my son and wife through the water at a pretty decent clip. I must have looked pretty ridiculous, to the people on shore, paddling around the lake Castaway style! I didn't care at all though, it was a great workout. As close to a swimming workout I've got without getting in the water.
Open swimming starts soon at the lake, so I'll be getting in my swim workouts then. Right now since I don't have a gym membership I can't do any swimming.
