While SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) is a FULL body workout on its own, this Core & Cadence Class will run with the purpose of building core and cadence fitness via consistency and some sprint intervals. Building your core using proper paddle techniques and finding that consistency in your cadence goes a long way in aerobic excercise, giving you more sustainability while out paddling. Training will include coaching and professional instruction to help you improve your skills along with your confidence in paddling.
