Rowing. Rowing is similar to swimming because it works a variety of muscles in the upper and lower body, increases cardiovascular endurance and is easy on the joints. Rowing primarily works the quadriceps, but like swimming, it also works the biceps, calves, hamstrings, shoulders and back.
Swimming is a great recreational activity for people of all ages. Recreational swimming can provide you with a low-impact workout and it's a good way to relax and feel good.
