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.

#169 – Developing paddling skills and confidence and listening to yourself with Elaine Shooter Alexander
byJohn Chase

Elaine Alexander, or Shooter as she is known to friends, joins today’s episode of the podcast to speak about her late start in paddling, training and teaching at Share Discovery Village, and the determination that led to a solo circumnavigation of Ireland — 71 days with 51 on the water, stormbound moments, and life-changing encounters.

The episode highlights the generosity of coastal communities, the support network that made the expedition possible, Shooter’s fundraising and advocacy work including Summit to Sea for MND, and SHARE’s inclusive outdoor programs.
