Pro-tip: duct tape pillows to the ends of a broom handle and spar with your friends to prepare for an encounter with the loch ness monster.

Haha, love it.

Could these be modified for home use? I don't have regular access to a lift machine but would like to try this otherwise great workout. I appreciate how much is doable just with yourself and a mat.

I've been doing it with resistance bands, work great, they are 20 something dollars at Amazon.

[@clareroth7485]

@@polunga Do you just tie them to a part of your apartment or?

[@polunga]

@@clareroth7485 they come with a thingy that you put in the door when you close it and that holds the band.

What pound or kg weight values do you recommend to buy for the skate exercise ?

[@suerodgers716]

I don’t have an anchored pull can you use weights instead

What is the book grab exercise for?

[@steveeb9567]

Grip strength I suspect although new paddlers tend to grip the paddle too tight especially in rough conditions. Loose grip is best.

[@notquiteultralight1701]

Grabbing books of course.
