Advice
#1

does anyone know about an exercise machine which imitates canoe paddling? I saw one advertised in a magazine about a year ago.

Note c2g's review of a canoe adapter for a Concept II rower, and my review of the rower itself (I've never used the canoe adapter).

Here's a thread with plenty of information about CII, which I think crosses over well with the back muscle and aerobic training required for canoes and kayaks. I love mine, and although I have not used it all summer, here comes winter--prime CII season.

One idea. And you can email c2g regarding the canoe adapter info. G'luck, RRose42.

Paddle One
The Paddle One machine is a canoe and kayak simulator. Web site www.paddleone.com. Never tried it. I like my Concept2 rowing trainer for both the workout it gives and the support the company gives via its web site.

Concept 2 with canoe adapted
I have the Concept 2 with the Vermont Waterways adapter. It is really nice. Anybody that has ever used a Concept 2 knows how nice they are. The paddling adapter works very well. I honestly do not see how the paddleone could be better. It would be lucky to be as good. The resistance and motion is so smooth with the Concept 2.

in a book
the book “Fit to Paddle” has a practice exercise. THe man takes an old canoe paddle and cuts off the blade, puts an eye bolt through it then attaches it to (forgive me I don’t know the name so I will have to try to descibe it) the rowing weight thingy that attaches to the wall and has two pullys.



I haven’t tried the idea, but it sure looks good in the pictures.
