With warmer weather starting to grace the country and the hope of packrafting season on the horizon, it’s time to start getting into packrafting shape. Let’s face it, with many trails closed off, access to rivers limited, and gyms closed for the foreseeable future, getting in packrafting shape takes a bit of creativity.
Don't worry, we have you covered. We sat down with a trainer this week to create a total-body workout completely designed around bodyweight exercises. That means you can get in a full workout without needing any fancy equipment lying around the house.
Let’s dive in.
First, we have two different workout series creatively named Workout A and Workout B. On your first week, complete workout A on Monday and Friday. Tackle Workout B on Wednesday. On week two, switch up your workouts, doing Workout B on Monday and Friday and Workout A on Wednesday. Before you jumpstart your workout, we recommend reading through the entire workout set and making sure you are familiar with the exercises. For those out of the box exercises, we’ve linked to YouTube for a demonstration. Making sure your form is top-notch is clutch.

Make sure to change things up a bit by complementing the first exercise plan with your favorite aerobic/anaerobic endurance exercises. Anything from running, biking, swimming, to uphill walking that gets your heart rate pumping gets the job done.* That added burst of sunshine and fresh is good for the soul as well. If you have them around the house, row machines, stationary bikes, and elliptical machines work great as well.
Rather than heading out for a steady run of the mill walk or ride, consider spicing up your cardio with sprint or interval training. It's more effective than steady aerobic activity for performance. It also has the added advantage of enabling you to recover faster after strenuous packrafting sessions, as well as helping you perform a higher volume of work during your workouts.
Sprint Interval training should be done twice per week. It can be done on your off days, before, or after your workout.
*Before biking or trail running outside, make sure to check with your local social distancing guidelines.
