What is trained by the Stand up Paddling?
In stand up paddling, besides the ability to coordinate, we also train various muscle groups that we would like to introduce here. Pulling forward with the paddle as you lean against the board creates a pulling motion. This movement particularly strengthens the latissimus, the deltoid (shoulder), as well as the triceps.

Trained muscle groups by stand up paddling
Latissimus: Is the muscle that helps to form a V-shape of the back. He is already stressed by simple paddle movements and trained accordingly.
Deltoid: The most important lifting arm for the arm. Every movement uses this muscle. Thus, a strong deltoid muscle in other sports such as tennis or boxing can be very beneficial.
Triceps: The triceps takes, as one may not even think at first, two thirds of the upper arm and the biceps, however, only one third. So stand up paddling is also suitable for those who want to have more muscular arms.
Quadriceps: The thigh muscle is under heavy strain, as it has to be squatted again and again just before the paddle is submerged.So stand up paddling is one of the best ways to exercise.
