Canoes were developed by cultures all over the world.Canoeing can be done as a hobby, a sport or as a fun activity on holidays. You can paddle on rivers, lakes and the sea.<\/p>\n

Health benefits of canoeing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Improves cardiovascular fitness
\n– Increases muscle strength, particularly in the back, arms, shoulders and chest, from moving the paddle
\n– Can be peaceful and meditative or can be exhilarating \u2013 depending on where and how you do it.<\/p>\n

Make sure to use a properly fitting personal flotation device at all times when you are in or near water. Also, dress appropriately for the water temps and conditions as well as weather conditions.<\/p>\n
