You no longer have to go to the gym to burn off those extra carbs on an expensive rowing machine. Contact the professional instructors at the Berlagebrug Rowing Centre in Amsterdam East and row to your heart’s content as it was meant be: on the water. If you’ve already got a handle on rowing you can also try stand up paddling, which basically entails standing on a long surf board and paddling your way through Amsterdam’s canals kind of like a Venetian gondolier, but without the silly striped shirt.
