 This is one of my favorite upper body workouts. The entire workout as written will take anywhere from 45-60 minutes. If you are short on time, you could cut the sets down to 2 for each muscle group or run through the entire workout top to bottom one time.

 Our SUP field trip FINALLY happened in early May after a year fraught with crazy weather including hurricanes, intense heat, and flooding. Ten of my 21 students in my SUP Fitness courses at Duke took a break from studying to join me on Falls Lake for a gorgeous afternoon of paddling, yoga and exploring. Mother Nature was so kind and gave us a spectacular blue sky, warm sun and cool water. Thank you to all of my students for making this a fantastic year and thank you to those who were able to come out and paddle for a few hours. It really is a highlight of the school year and the course! Happy summer and paddling friends. |
