As a dedicated recumbenter for over a year now I've noticed better use of more of my lower body
muscle groups than before on a DF. However, while a DF isn't really training for the upper body, I
used to achieve a little tone in arms and shoulders and pecs just from holding my torso up.This is
no longer true or necessary on the bent.
So in search for a second recreation that might provide some cross training effect for the upper
body I've taken up kayacking. Wow, kayack paddling uses all of the large upper body muscles and some
lesser use even of the legs as well. I couldn't be more pleased and enthusiastically recommend it .
Very much like cycling however, kayacking is a very efficient method of moving through the water and
does require several miles of paddling over several hours to achieve training results. But who
cares, for like bent riding, the scenery can be awesome.
