Everyday we start our daily kayaking sessions with a
warm-up. It normally starts off with 50 forward strokes and then 50 backward
strokes. Following up on that we do stretches involving our core/torso and then
some overall stretches targeting increased flexibility. Afterwards we start
doing lean cleans which involves going on edge and then stomping your bow and
then lifting your other edge and stomping your stern and lifting opposite edge.
This is an amazing core workout but its also the basis of almost all wave/hole
tricks. From participating in the keener warm-up I’ve gotten increased
flexibility which allows me to get better leverage on some tricks and its
improved my core strength which allows me to do increasingly harder tricks. The
keener warm-up will help you become a better kayaker because it
teaches/reinforces the basics of kayaking, so that when you need to use any of
them its second nature
