In this week's edition of the Fitness Lowe-Down Leslie Lowe heads to the lake for a fun workout for your core. More specifically: paddle boarding.

Leslie and Michelle Dapper stopped by the Coeur d'Alene Paddle Board Company for some pointers on how to get a creative workout on the water. The basics of paddle boarding are:

  • Face forward with legs shoulder-width apart
  • Hold the paddle in front of you with two hands
  • Paddle on one side, and then switch to the other side


Paddle boarding works the core of your body, as well as your shoulders and arms. Your legs get a decent workout too.
