CardioFit

Do you find yourself consistently in the front of the pack for our regular tours? Do you want an excellent aerobic cross training regime? Do you want to train to become a kayak racer and/or be more effective in adventure races?

Then, this is the kayaking session for you. Kayaking is a 'full on' aerobic workout IF you have learned how to use your whole body in your kayak stroke. Paddling with arms and shoulders alone will NOT do it!

The CardioFit class does require full body paddling knowledge and application, and knowledge of boat edging and self rescue. The classes are done on river often in reverse of the North/South tours (we go with the current at the beginning and against the current at the end). Moreover, we paddle in Diamond and I formations that teach and practice wake riding and drafting. These are strategies used to conserve energy in marathon races similar to bicycle racing. We continuously exchange positions through sprints to front of formation.
