KARDIO KAYAK INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
Building on the skills developed in the beginner class, we’ll push your cardiovascular system to the next level!
Now that you have the confidence and balance to do more in your kayak, we will switch gears to introduce straightforward endurance paddling at a higher intensity, sprinting and interval training. This class will allow you to refine the skills you learned in the beginner class working towards execution of a “proper forward stroke”! Co-owner Tanya Sullivan, a Certified Athletic Therapist will work individually with you during this class to identify your strengths and weaknesses making you a more efficient paddler.
This class is aimed at those individuals wanting to develop their cardiovascular fitness and at a minimum each participant should be able to prove a minimum proficiency in paddling and endurance. Continued participation will be at the discretion of the instructor. Please e-mail for details, or to determine if this class is suitable for you.
The Advanced Class will be 90 minutes long to allow enough time to enhance the caloric burn, and work on endurance exercises.

KARDIO KAYAK FALL CLASSES
Our Fall version of this class is loads of fun as the weather cools and the sun sets earlier in the evenings.
This class is the perfect way to close the season.
