Kayaking
Rowing a kayak down the Hudson requires way more arm and leg power than you would imagine, but while you and a date are squeezed into the same, narrow floating mechanism, you'll also have plenty of time to chat. Slip into a swimsuit, slather on some sunscreen and make sure your iPhone wears a waterproof case so you can snap pics as the sun sets in the background. Sparkling river view
and cardio? Perfect.
