]]> If you’re not sure what paddleboarding is, this activity involves kneeling, sitting, or standing on a board (it looks similar to a surfboard) and using an oar to move yourself through the water. People try it on lakes, rivers, canals, and the ocean. If you fancy giving it a go, read this guide first so that you’re prepared.

Core Strength

Before they give paddleboarding a go, some people believe they have decent core strength. Then they experience the challenge of keeping themselves upright on the board, whilst paddling through the water. This seemingly relaxing water sport takes some serious balance, coordination, and core strength. It’s a good idea to start on your knees, which is easier and requires less balance. Stand up when you’re feeling brave and accept that you might go head-first into the water the first couple of times.

Water Quality

The dream of every paddleboarder is to make it out to the ocean, to slice through the waves as you travel along the shore. Whilst some make it look easy, maintaining balance and paddling ability in the sea is very hard. The waves add an element of surprise, and you have to be ready to adjust your paddle strokes and body weight at any moment. Start out on more serene waters, a canal or still lake are good options. Learn how the board moves through the water, and how your body behaves on the board, before taking it to the ocean.

Don’t Do it Alone

Like any water-based sport, paddleboarding can be dangerous. Try it out with a group of friends or family. Apart from being safer, you are sure to have lots of laughs watching each other struggle with balance and paddling. It’s a great bonding opportunity!

]]> Who says staying active means being confined to the four walls of a gym? If you’re looking to break free from the monotonous workout routine, we’ve got you covered! Whether you prefer the great outdoors or want to try something new, these activities will make staying fit an enjoyable adventure, instead of just the same old gym routine.

Trail Running

Trail running offers a refreshing change of scenery while challenging your fitness. Explore local parks, forests, or nature reserves and let the uneven terrain and breathtaking views invigorate your senses. With each step, you’ll engage different muscles and boost your endurance.

Dancing

Who says exercise can’t be a dance party? Shake off the stress and dance your heart out! Sign up for a dance class or simply groove to your favorite tunes at home. From hip-hop to salsa, ballet to Zumba, there’s a dance style for everyone. Not only does dancing improve cardiovascular health and flexibility, but it also lifts your spirits and allows you to express yourself through movement.

Paddleboarding

Take your fitness routine to new horizons by getting on a paddleboard. Whether on a lake, river, or even the ocean, paddleboarding provides a full-body workout that’s both exhilarating and calming. Engage your core, arms, and legs as you balance on the board and paddle through the water.

]]> Stand up paddleboarding is a great summer activity originally from Hawaii. If you are spending your holiday near a lake, sea, or ocean, you must try paddleboarding. It gives you a unique vantage point for viewing what’s down under the water and out on the horizon. These are the gears you will be needing.

Stand Up Paddleboard

Before you buy your board, you should first test if you like it. So for the first couple of times, rent gear or borrow from a friend. Then, if you think it’s an activity for you and want to do more, buy your own.

Paddle

The paddle for stand up paddleboarding is similar to a canoe paddle, only it’s stretched out and has a tear-drop-shaped blade that angles forward for maximum paddling efficiency.

Life Jacket

If you are brave enough and you want to explore the ocean outside the surf or swimming area, you must have a life jacket.

Safety Whistle and Light

Another thing you must carry with you. You can’t get on the water without a safety whistle. And if you expect to be on the water after sunset, be sure to bring a light with you.

Leash

It’s used to keep your board close by if you fall off.
