🐲 This video is a part of the "Dragon Boat Training [Week 1] Exercises" playlist, which is meant to cover the bodyweight workouts performed during the respective week's land training sessions.
🐲 See the other "Dragon Boat Training [In-Gym Exercises]" playlist which provides the team with workouts to perform in the gym during the week in addition to land training.
🔥 Target muscles: abs and shoulders.
🤓 Exercise cues:
1. Feet shoulder width apart
2. Kick with a straight leg using your abs to lift and not your quad nor hip (if a straight leg is too challenging at first, you can bend your knee a bit or even kick up with your knee bent at 90 degrees)
3. Rotate the opposite arm and tap your toe
4. Regulate your breathing
Start with 3 sets of 30 seconds and work your way up to 60 seconds +. Avoid doing a high rep day too close to water practice as you will be sore.
🛶 Why this exercise for dragon boat performance?
This exercise is great for your abs strength and endurance. Core strength and endurance is key to have deep/strong rotation, especially for longer distance paddling. This exercise also works your shoulders which will benefit your paddling, especially when needing to keep your arms up for a long duration.
👊 Please feel free to message me or the coaching team for any questions/concerns.
