3) Paddle Boarding Is Not As Easy As It Looks!

Don’t be fooled though, paddle boarding can be a punishing workout depending on the conditions if you are looking for a challenge. Paddle Board world champion Annabel Anderson recently told Competitor magazine ,“I see people with a strong core whose legs are shaking in two minutes. Sometimes people who look the most fit are the worst at it”.

4) Paddle Boarding Engages Your abs The ENTIRE Time!

Maintaining your balance requires constant engagement of your abdominal muscles and, along with the muscles in your upper body, they’ll contract as you row from side to side. “When most people think paddle boarding, they assume it’s all about the arms—it's not,” explains Jose Gonzalez ACA Paddle Board Instructor. “It mainly targets your core and legs through the movement of bringing the paddle to the board and is a perfect workout for anyone looking to work on their Summer body”.

5) Paddle Boarding Is The Most Enjoyable 'Workout' You Will Ever Complete!

And finally, and this is what really seals the deal for paddle boarding, is that it is just so enjoyable. Beautiful scenery, cool water, no experience necessary and you can be up having fun and enjoying the ultimate summer workout in no time!
