Kayaking Nation, an online resource for kayaking enthusiasts, released a guide highlighting the top five land-based exercises people should be doing to get better at kayaking.
—
Kayaking Nation’s new guide recommends the top exercises kayakers of all skill levels can do to improve their performance out on the water. The exercises are designed to target multiple muscle groups and can all be performed in the same cross-training workout.

According to the guide, the five most beneficial exercises for kayakers are dumbbell squats and presses, kettlebell swings, planks, bent-over rows, and high and low wood chops. For each exercise, Kayaking Nation provides a step-by-step breakdown of how to safely and effectively perform them, as well as suggestions for how to incorporate them into a broader workout.
Kayaking Nation selected these exercises primarily because they work the muscles used most frequently while kayaking, namely the core, shoulders, arms, and obliques. However, they also require very few pieces of equipment to perform, which makes them accessible to a wider audience.
For kayakers who can’t perform the exercises due to a lack of equipment or physical limitations, the guide provides some alternatives that might be more suitable, including Russian twists, sit-ups, and push-ups. Whatever exercises are performed, the goals should be to improve core and upper body strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance, and to prevent injuries from occurring.
To get the most out of the exercises, Kayaking Nation encourages kayakers to perform them in conjunction with their paddling drills. By working on the two in tandem, kayakers get real-time progress reports and they can more easily identify specific areas where they need to improve.
“Becoming a better kayaker involves a comprehensive approach to training,” said a spokesperson for the website. “By incorporating exercises that target core strength, upper body strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, and stability, you can enhance your kayaking performance and reduce the risk of injuries.”
