Inflatable Kayak Blog

Kayaking may look effortless but it does task the muscles, so it’s a good idea to make sure you stretch out those muscles before and after you paddle your inflatable or folding kayak. Here’s an ‘Arm Over Head Stretch’ that works nicely. Standing with feet at shoulder-width and holding your back and neck erect, raise your arms above your head. Reach over with your left hand and gently pull the right elbow over the head. For a greater stretch, you can lean your torso slightly to the left. Hold for 30 seconds while breathing deeply, then repeat for other side. This move stretches the arms and the upper shoulders. Remember to breathe deeply during any type of exercise. It helps you to relax.
