Stretches for Kayakers - Improve your Flexibility
Everyone can benefit from increasing their flexibility! We have many students and guests who ask us what they can do for their fitness before they join us kayaking. We are not personal trainers, but we are professional Guides! Here are a few easy exercises you can do at home, without any need for equipment.
These will help your overall flexibility, hopefully making your experience kayaking more enjoyable, enabling you to be more comfortable while in the water for extended periods of time as well as making getting into, out of and recovering your kayak easier.
Any cheeky comments made during the filming of this video were taken as intended; as jest. No offence was taken!
We met Sam Lawrence at a sea kayaking symposium in Cornwall almost eight years ago when he was completing his ISKGA qualifications. Since then he has completed the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in the United States and worked in the Emirates for two years as a coach but his first love is writing. He is currently midway through his second novel and is a regular guest contributor to NOMAD Sea Kayaking.
