Coastal Expeditions is excited to offer four evening classes with Misty Lister, an experienced paddleboard instructor and Charleston fitness leader.  For seven years, Misty was the was the Fitness Director at Ocean Fitness on the Isle of Palms  and has certifications in both PaddleFit and Yoga.  

Stand-up paddle boarding is an amazing full-body workout and when done properly, regular sessions will quickly result in toning, fat loss, and muscle development. In this SUP Fitness course, paddlers will learn paddle stroke techniques and positioning that will ensure more efficiency on the water. We’ll also incorporate basic core strengthening exercises on the board, while in a beautiful setting. Win-win!

• Learn basic paddle stroke techniques: the reach, the catch, the drive, the release and the recovery.
• How to utilize these paddle stroke techniques to get the best workout during your paddle sessions.
• How to comfortably move around on the board.
• We will engage in a core strengthening workout while on the board using only your body and your paddle. We will activate muscles that paddlers should be using while engaging in proper paddle technique. This is where the “ah-ha!” moment will take place!
• It’s the BEST workout room in Charleston!

If you’ve always wanted to learn how to paddleboard or incorporate it into your fitness goals, this is a great place to start!
