Even though gyms and fitness classes are tentatively beginning to reopen, there's plenty of people who don't feel comfortable with indoor fitness just yet.

Alternatively, paddle boarding is about as socially-distant a sport as you can get. On the water, on your own board, in the fresh air, it's a great, low-impact way to stay active that works your core, arms, back and legs.
Walmart is offering a very convenient way to get started in the sport: a blow-up paddleboard which doubles as a kayak, complete with paddle and pump. Collapsible for easy storage, this set would originally sell for $409.99, but it's on sale right now at $239.99 (opens in new tab). Check it out below:
