Kayaking Specific Exercises for the ENTIRE BODY Part 1 [2019]

These are the first 2 exercises in the series. If you want more kayaking exercises be sure to check out my YouTube Channel.

Kayak Full Body Exercise 1!!

This exercise incorporates your core and rotational support with shoulder movement

The ability to resist rotation helps you to control for Boof strokes and for strong paddle strokes.​
Lets get the core trunk rotation in!

Resistance can help you modify and load your body.

Keys... don't lift your legs with this one... if you know how to segment movements out to strengthen then they can work stronger together. Otherwise you will continue to use hips when you should use your trunk
