Mobility Drills for Paddlers

Home Exercises Mobility Drills for Paddlers

While the old school static stretching you did in 7th grade gym class still has it’s place, there’s a better way to warm up prior to paddling.

Today we’re going to focus on a series of mobility drills that will warm up and loosen the muscles you use when paddling.

#143 – Amazon Source to Sea Adventure with Darcy Gaechter – Encore Episode
byJohn Chase

Welcome to today’s episode of the Paddling the Blue podcast! 

I was paddling with some friends recently and someone mentioned Darcy Gaechter. Darcy is an extraordinary adventurer and author of Amazon Woman. Darcy’s journey down the Amazon River set a milestone as the first and only woman to paddle the entire length of the river. The paddler I was with was fascinated by Darcy’s story so I thought this would be a great opportunity to bring this one back to the top. In this episode, we explore the challenges, thrills, and fascinating encounters from her epic 148-day expedition where she achieved that milestone.
