What It Is

Paddling on open water, a low-impact outing that builds endurance and upper-body stamina while you enjoy time outside.

How to Do It

Wear a life jacket and sit tall with your feet braced. Paddle at a pace where you can talk in short sentences but not sing. Turn your torso to pull the blade back to your hip.

Tips

Lift the blade out at your hip, not behind you. Turn from your trunk instead of pulling with bent arms.

Skill Level

Beginner. One new pattern or machine to learn, with light loads and low risk.

Type

Cardio. Raises your heart rate to build endurance and heart health.

Engagement

Unilateral (Alternating). Each rep alternates between sides.

Primary Muscles

Equipment
