Until just a few weeks ago, I never thought of rowing as a possible Live Lively Dallas activity. Then I spent some time with Laura Zuczek, Masters Novice Coach with the Dallas Rowing Club, who helped me understand that there is such a thing as recreational rowing. And, it is a wonderful thing! 

The gloves, the bags, the moves.  Kickboxing for fitness transforms the energy in you into confidence and strength, and the American Council on Exercise labelled it as a top fitness trend. I label it as fun and think you will too.   If you haven't taken a kickboxing for fitness class because it seems intimidating or it's a complete unknown to you, this episode will give you the confidence to take your first class.

  Did you know Dallas is the home of Petanque's  National Championship team member Jeanne-Marie Browning? ​Come experience Petanque, a fun and challenging French origins game where the goal is, while standing with the feet together in a small circle, to throw metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet (jack).
