My partner and I chose to shed some weight about a year ago, but because I have asthma I have problems doing any vigorous and high impact exercise like walking, running, and jogging. I love the water, and I enjoy the outdoors, so we decided to try a fairly new sport that we had heard about from my husband's brother Mike who lives in Southern California. It's called stand up paddle boarding. Most people like to use their surf boards and just buy a paddle since a SUP is basically a surfboard and a Paddle Western New York, but a lot of your newer SUP's have a nonslip surface on the top, so you don't need to use Surfwax on it.
The most important gear in the sport is the stand-up oar board. There are different board sizes, and anyone planning to make the investment can buy one based on their weight and experience. The more experienced paddlers often choose narrow boards. Learners or novice paddlers should select boards that are wider and flatter, which offer a higher degree of stability. The oars also vary in length and the best size would be between 6 and 8 inches taller than the user. This, however, will depend on the model. Some manufacturers recommend an 8 to 10 inches difference. The oars have an angle along the shaft to allow for maximum efficiency.
I kept at it the whole week we were in California and lost about an inch and a half around my midsection, and my arms felt tighter and well more muscled than they did before, of course, that distinct arm feeling could have just been my imagination, but it makes me feel good.
My husband, on the other hand, is quite a bit shorter than I am and got the hang of everything a lot quicker though he did jab himself with the longer oar more often.
Low impact exercise: For people who do not like to hit the gym and hate to lift those iron bars, this is a great alternative. This sport can burn your calories easily and help you slip into that exercise mode. Besides, it does not offer any heavy pressure or strain on the body and is, therefore, a low impact exercise without any risk of injury.
The amazing full body workout that oar boarding offers is becoming a popular and favorite cross-training activity for a number of snowboarders, skiers, and other sports people. People can oar in different locations, from oceans, to lakes and even rivers. The sport does not require any waves and can take place anywhere that there is a water body. Another benefit of this sport is that one is able to enjoy the sights and views; it feels a bit like walking on water.
Cannon oars make a really good Christmas gift idea for him too because he can pack it down into his suitcase to take it back to California instead of us having to foot the bill on the shipping cost.
After the learning the basics of paddle boarding, you are able to explore everything that the sport has to offer. Those who live near water bodies can use this form of exercise to remain healthy. Those who are experienced explore different moves including ocean surfing and paddling in the waves. They also incorporate different strokes into the paddling.
