Strength Training
There are several things that you can do to improve your paddling prowess: Timing, technique, cardio, flexibility and strength for starters. On the boat, coaches address all of these at some point when making you work so hard during practice. But off the water it’s up to each and every one of us to improve or maintain our general fitness which falls into the strength/cardio/flexibility realm.

As we take a little break from water training, a group of Space Dragons have embarked on an expedition to work on improving  STRENGTH through proper weight training. James is spearheading this effort and made several Spacebook Posts as well as creating a Space Camp FB group.  Both Ladies and Gentlemen, check it out if you want to get stronger!
