I so enjoy my days out on the paddle. In this short video, I explain why flatwater kayaking is my favourite outdoor activity.
So, what is flatwater kayaking?
Flatwater kayaking refers to a type of kayaking that takes place on a body of water that is sheltered from waves, excessive wind, and currents. It is a fun, low-impact activity that can help us live a healthier lifestyle.
Recreational flatwater kayaking supports physical and mental wellness and offers a fun and scenic alternative to the monotony of going to the gym.
Better cardiovascular health:
Flatwater kayaking is a great cardio workout, even at an average speed of two miles per hour. Even on still water, paddling will increase your heart rate enough to strengthen your heart, lungs, and overall circulation. Many flatwater kayakers explore rivers and lakes for several hours at a time.
The mental benefits of kayaking:
Kayaking naturally releases the “feel good” neurotransmitters, serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins in your body. These three hormones are responsible for boosting moods and relieving stress.
