This intense core-building exercise is also a tremendous show of how when you bring a bunch of passionate people together, great things will emerge.
Dragon boating originated in China before it became a competitive sport, but is now practiced worldwide, showing the power great teamwork can bring. If you're picking up the sport for the first time or an experienced paddler, odds are you're still going to be sore the next day, but that's how you know you're working out all the different little muscles at the same time. |

How to Paddle
Assure that the top arm is always locked, straight, in order to pull at your max capacity.
The stroke is a very core-based exercise, because you're somewhat pulling back from the abs, as you would in rowing, but the difference in dragon boating, is you add a slight twist as you pull back. It is very important to make sure your feet are planted solid on the inside of the boat and won't slip, as your legs will also be a key part in pulling the water past.
