I spend time on a rowing machine in the basement watching DVD's.
Concept2 indoor row machine - not inexpensive but my own personal
opinion is that for me, one of the best buys I have made. While it is
not "paddling," I do get to workout at whatever speed and for whatever
distance I want. Usually do 10,000 meters which works out to around 6
and half miles per day. I found that doing this last winter help
immensely when the ice fishermen finally had to pack up and leave.
Personally not a fan of outdoor activities when the temperature falls
down to 20 or lower.
