Kayaking for Fitness

In my never ending quest to lose a pound or two and achieve any semblance of fitness, I have embarked on a new hobby...kayaking.  I really like it.  I believe that exercise is important to our overall health, and that the best way to make sure we exercise is to make it as enjoyable as possible.  Kayaking was a no brainer for me as the water was here already and my son already owned the kayak.  Although I am grossly over the max weight allowed for the kayak, I thought it was worth a try to "get my feet wet" and see if I liked it.



 I really am enjoying it as it is very peaceful.  It came with a vary nice paddle that is sturdy and yet compacts down to about 2 feet.  The kayak comes with a handy travel bag (think duffle bag)  in which it can be deflated and taken anywhere.  It also comes with an awesome air pump that inflates it in no time.  This is our second year with this kayak and we have had no leaks or problems.  You will want to check out the videos.  The second one is pretty funny as my son filmed one of my first attempts at getting in the kayak




Now if you want to laugh, check this out.  If you do though, you owe it to me to at least consider buying a 99 cent copy of my book, Scrawlings of a Fat Man.  After all, I need to buy another kayak for me to use so I wont have to hog my son's kayak LOL.

OK, so who want an "uplifting" motivator like my son lol????  What do you think??
