Health Benefits of Kayaking

Condition Your Core

When watching someone paddle a kayak, you may think they are only utilizing their arm and shoulder muscles; however kayaking is also great for strengthening the core. Does this mean you’ll get 6-pack abs from kayaking? Actually, it means so much more! Your core involves at least 35 different muscle groups, and strengthening it can improve your mobility and daily life. A few things you might notice as a result of kayaking regularly:

  • Daily activities, like putting on shoes, are easier.
  • Soreness when performing on-the-job tasks or sitting in an office chair is reduced.
  • Back pain is reduced.
  • Mobility when playing sports or doing chores is enhanced.
  • Balance and stability is increased.
  • Posture improves.
