Tone your muscles
Rowing on the stand up paddle, even at slow pace, requires the cardiovascular system but also a lot of muscles:
- legs that provide stability (proprioception),
- the abdominal belt that transmits the rowing effort to the board
- the upper body (shoulders, arms, dorsal) which is activated in the rowing movement. If you use an inflatable paddle, using the pump for a few minutes to reach the correct inflation pressure is also a good way to warm up before practice.
