Canoeing: Get Fit, Burn
Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning
Combined
Canoeing workouts are a
reasonable way to boost fitness and burn stored body fat. Canoeing increases
the number of calories burned, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled
eating plan - will cause the body to burn it's stored fat - including
stomach fat. In addition, canoeing helps to develop the arm and shoulder
muscles, so you get fit and get into shape.
Canoeing Improves Fat Percentage
About 45 minutes of canoeing
burns about 180 calories. In one year, this daily fitness workout burns
a total of 65,700 calories per year - about 19 pounds of stored body fat.
This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percent - the muscle-to-fat ratio.

happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further
