Setup
Wear a life jacket, attach the leash, and check the wind and current. Loosen up your shoulders and lower back, and start in shallow water.
Start phase
Find your balance on your knees, then stand up slowly. Look ahead and paddle alternately on each side.
End phase
Slow down and paddle gently back to shore as you finish. Step off the board safely, then check your workout duration.
Target muscles
Paddling works your cardiovascular system and whole body. Rotate your torso to pull the paddle and use your legs for balance.
Common mistakes
Avoid paddling with your arms alone; rotate your torso as well. Do not head far out where the wind is strong or the current is fast.
Breathing
Breathe comfortably in rhythm with your paddle strokes. Keep breathing as you hold your balance.
Coach tip
Record the time spent paddleboarding. Do not enter stroke counts or distance.
