Kayaks are great for recreational paddling, but did you know that you can also use your boat to get fit, tone your muscles, and develop endurance?
Kayaking for Fitness shows how anyone of any age or fitness level can use kayaking to get a great full body workout, or as a low impact complement to other sports like running and cycling. Everyone from couch potatoes to serious competitors is invited to join coach, marathon paddler, and Canadian Downriver Racing Champion Jodi Bigelow as he guides kayakers of all levels to greater health, increased energy, and full body fitness!
This information-packed 156-page book is the essential guide to achieving and maintaining physical fitness and body tone through kayaking. Unlike running and cycling, kayaking enables you to enjoy the benefits of fluid low-impact activity and core strength development while having fun exploring on the water.
With Kayaking for Fitness, you'll find a comprehensive 8-week program to get fit fast, with kayak workouts tailored for beginner, intermediate, and advanced paddlers. Learn how to determine your personal fitness and exertion levels and get the greatest benefit from your workouts, then follow the eight-week program day by day.
The beginner-friendly text will show you how to choose and care for your equipment and your body, essential kayaking strokes, how to keep safe on the water, cross-training for endurance with running, cycling, swimming, skiing, and more, and how to go beyond the 8-week plan to continue your training and support your fitness goals.
Learn everything you need to know to use your kayak to have fun and get fit, with Kayaking for Fitness!
