A good paddle stroke starts at the feet! The power then transmits up through your legs, butt, and abdominal region, through your torso, and finally to the paddle shaft. Learning a proper forward stroke with good torso rotation is an ideal abdominal workout.

The health and fitness benefits derived from kayaking include:
