Not only is kayaking a great way to <a href=\"https:\/\/fishingkayakreviews.net\/can-kayaking-build-muscle\/\">put your muscles through a rigorous workout<\/a>, it is also an energy demanding exercise that can help you burn significant amounts of calories quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>Burning Calories<\/h2>\n<p>Provided you have a decent paddling technique and are undertaking a constant paddling motion, kayaking can be a good way of shifting an impressive amount of calories. Just a few hours of kayaking can help you burn upwards of a thousand calories. As a general rule, most people can expect to burn around 400 calories for every hour spent kayaking. However, the amount of calories you can expect to burn will depend on your current weight. Heavier kayakers will burn more calories than a lighter kayaker undertaking the same amount of exercise. Even those with less weight to shift should consider kayaking as an exercise regime to help bring down the waistline. It is far more effective than conventional exercises like walking and cycling, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennisweb.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tennis<\/a> as well as weight training. However, it is not as effective at shifting weight as jogging or swimming. Unless you are prepared to put in the hard work on the water, you may be better pulling on your running shoes or hitting the pool for a few laps.<\/p>\n<h2>Muscle Growth<\/h2>\n<p>Another thing to consider is that kayaking can build significant muscle. Many muscles in the lower and upper back, the shoulders and arms, as well as the body core undergo rigorous contraction and expansion when kayaking. This is almost always a good thing, but you need to remember that muscle weighs more than fat because it the tissue is far denser. Although great muscle mass is almost certainly preferable to a significant amount of bodily fat, if you are purely interested in what the weighing scales are saying, excess muscle growth might deter you from getting too physical in your kayak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking for an outdoor pursuit that can help you burn calories and shift excess weight quickly, kayaking is a good activity to consider.
