Man At Desk - Clip ArtKeeping fit when the weather is cold can be a challenge for anyone, let alone paddlers like us. Finding the time to exercise when your family and job are demanding most of your time might seem too difficult. However, here’s a suggestion on how to include some small bits of exercise while you’re doing something else, a sort of multitasking as it were. For example: While driving or sitting at your desk, do some isometric exercises. Squeeze your gluts, contract your abs, and work your calves by raising your legs up on your toes. And we have all heard the reminders to park farther away and walk and take the stairs instead of the elevator. Hey, it’s something to get the muscles working until you can get out in your kayak and paddle when the weather gets warmer.
