I got tired of trying to figure it out so I got a heart rate monitor!

Excuse my ignorrance but what is "Stand Up Paddling" cause I haven't heard of this execise? As in paddling a boat? Paddling like in spanking? Educate me.......

Sounds like fun. Maybe similar to kayaking? Although you are probably using more leg muscles than with kayaking to maintain stability.

PS: We have exactly the same starting weight and goal. Good luck.

Yes, it is basically standing on a surf board and using a paddle to propel yourself. I have a body bugg, but was afraid I might fall in and ruin it....luckily I didn't fall.

Stand of paddling if I am not mistaken is where you stand on a larger surfboard and paddle. I was on the coast last week and I sat and watched a lady paddling away just as I described going across the bay.

I was in Santa Cruz a week ago Wed. watching a lady stand up paddle early in the morning while I was standing on the warf. Is is possible it was you? Because the lady looked very similar to your profile pic

No, it wasn't me, this was my first time.

Wow! That sounds like fun...trying to figure out where I can do that around my house? Maybe the pool for now. Anyway...thinking "rowing" might be similar enough.

Very cool! We have a couple of paddle boarders in our kayak group, and I so want to try that! You could either use kayaking or rowing - both are in the database. It's an estimate, at best. I mean, when I log kayaking, I just enter the time I paddle, but we both know that paddling on a lake is a whole different burn than paddling in swift current on a river.
