great book but not at $143 a copy January 20, 2008
this is a good book for paddlers both canoe and kayak and i use and loan it all the time. in fact it is loaned out now and i have to get it back. at $140 a copy (for a 100 page black and white book with exercise descriptions and pictures) it belongs in a vault.
i find the price(s) new and used to be uniformly curious. obviously some consistent thought has played a role here.
An exceptional resource for paddlers September 7, 2004

I am an avid sea kayaker and got this book after I injured my neck to help develop a rehabilitation program designed to gradually get me back to paddling long distances. Ideally, this book should be used to prevent injuries, especially those caused by overexertion. FIT TO PADDLE provides a sports specific conditioning program which will keep all types of paddlers in top paddling form. The book also includes sample home workout programs and a chart of the muscular system.
I highly suggest this book for all paddlers who are looking to build strength, flexibility and endurance, increase balance and coordination and help prevent overexertion injuries. The step by step instructions for the exercises are easy to follow and include photos. The exercises can be performed at home, at the gym or on the water.
This is a great resource for all recreational and/or competitive paddlers.

Need that extra strength in your wrists? Having trouble pulling thru the water? Wearing out when you need that final few strokes? Then FIT TO PADDLE is the book for you! Rocky Snyder once again breaks down simple, easy to use information about getting you ready to paddle with renewed vigor. The pictures and
diagrams are terrific. If you want to be one of those folks who seems to be gliding when paddling:Don't miss this book!

I am new to the fitness arena, but have always loved the outdoors. I've tried lots of fitness books recently, but none of them are as simple as Rocky's. I love the pictures and easy-to-understand instructions. Also, his positive attitude is a real inspiration. Don't miss this book!!
