I have “emphysema light”, doctor’s words, not mine. Don’t know if this counts as a sport to you, but kayaking is surprisingly easy on the lungs.
People tend to automatically think “white water”, but I’m in the flattest American state, so kayaking to me is mostly floating a slow river or creek, or at most, paddling around a lake.
The price of admission isn’t bad. FaceBook Marketplace always has deals. All you need is the boat, a paddle, life jacket, whistle, and any other gear you might like. A huge yellow sponge is a must. If you get into it, you’ll see just how versatile one is!
If you take the time to learn and practice proper technique, you can motor around with little effort! We saw a girl in a short kayak blowing her friends out the water at the local bayou last weekend. LOL, she was fascinating to watch from afar, hauling ass with so little effort.
Here’s the thing, the longer the kayak, the less effort. Short boats tend to tack back and forth, wasting your effort. Which is what made the chick on the little 8’ boat so neat!
