This month I took my kayak out on the water twice - once on my own and once in a social setting with other kayakers, accomplishing my goal of starting some regular "fun exercise", rather than just "because I have to" exercise, as well as working towards my goal of getting out of the house, instead of sitting at home on weekends. It also proved that my precommittment of buying the kayak, works as a motivator for me.
I bought a rowing machine about 2 months ago and have rowed several times a week. I usually watch videos or listen to audio books at the same time. The financial precommitment thing works for me and has also worked when buying strength training equipment 4 months ago.
I wonder if I should buy a kayak or something similar the next summer, or perhaps join some club that rows bigger boats. Being able to show off while rowing for real should also boost my motivation to train with the machine :)
sounds like it's worth a try - though I recommend going on a social activity with a group that goes to a place that hires them first, to see if you enjoy actually doing it and getting wet while doing it (which is a somewhat different experience to rowing machines). It'll let you have a taste of it without the full committment. as long as it's enjoyable you can then choose whether or not to commit fully ;)
