Kayak and Get in Shape

My Kayak is great for upper body exercise.  If you like the outdoors then a Kayak can be for you.  If you are not content with paddling around the local lake there are rivers that offer a challenge.  The white water can be dangerous so wearing the right safety equipment will be required.  The helmet is an essential safety item as head injury can be a problem id you capsize in rough water.  I would start out in calmer waters before tackling the rapids.  The rapids are a whole different level for the kayaker.  If you are a novice I would stay clear until you are more experienced.  Art Falcone is a good kayaker but has not made the leap to white water.
