Getting in shape

After a long winter away from the water, I am hardly in the best kayaking shape. Can you suggest any tips on how to get ready for the kayaking season? Is there anything I can do in the car or at my desk or sitting watching TV?

Thank you

Hi kayakinglad!

Yoga is a great way to get more in shape while in front of the TV. I don't know that I would want to try this in the car though...

You might want to try making a balance board, which is pretty much a piece of 2X8 5' long with a 2X6 screwed at a "T" to it. Then you have to sit on the 2X8 in somewhat of a kayaking position. This helps your core balance.

Other than that.. GET OUT THERE!

Thanks for your question!
