Paddle Tip: Gym Exercises to Learn Rotation (Outrigger Canoe/Surfski Kayak)

[@martynstahl6038]

This makes perfect sense, I’ve been doing this exercise sitting down not thinking about rotating. Really helpful thanks

Me: Hmm, I need gym exercises to get stronger for OC paddling K2N [releases new video]: I got you! Thanks K2N! 6:42 no cha-cha hips, got it 😂

I really like the TRX suspension system for paddling fitness. At $125, it’s the most versatile system I’ve ever used. It works in a variety of body positions from standing to nearly parallel to the ground. It’s easy to adjust strength/difficulty of the exercise with body position. After warmup, it’s unbeatable for stretching the shoulders throughout the range of motion/rotation of the shoulder girdle area.

@@macfawlty great point! I used to use one a lot. Lots of rotational and anti rotational exercises you can use. Single arm rows turning the sternum into the hand a good example.

Would be cool a short video with the most basic drills ON the water. Guess doing just by feeling on the water demmands a more refined technique

[@K2NOPS]

@LeagueofRaon the online school has those short videos you're describing about 1 minute in length. Going by feel is a good thing but becomes "the blind leading the blind" easily. Discerning what feels good without an indicator of what's truly right or wrong makes it a guessing game.

Hi Robert Norman. Would please suggest an amount of: 1. Repetitions, and 2. Sets, for all of these exercises here, to aid my on water training distance of 4 miles on flat water in a K1? Kindest regards.

[@K2NOPS]

I like 10-15 for strength at 3-4 sets. Lactic acid threshold for endurance more reps and sets can work depending.

[@englishbiker6319]

Thank you very much! 👍
