One of the key muscle groups needed for paddling is in your butt - yep, thats right, the Gluteuls (or Gluteus Minimus, Medius and you guessed it - Maxiumus) to be exact, help work your hip joints which are one of the many keys to good paddling technique. 

Our good friends at Coreban made us aware of this recently - here's what they had to say: "Having weak or tight Gluteal Muscles will casue other areas of pain and fatique in your body while paddling. If you have poor techique and you find your hips, knees & calves are tight and sore look at improving your strength or stretching in your Gluteal region." 

They've also given us some useful stretches and exercises to help whip you into shape.


So bend over we'll get you exercising! (No really, you've got to bend over for these exercises.)
