The Science of Canoeing By Richard Cox

When tensing, say
Identify the tension..............................
Notice where the tightness is...............................
Feel the muscle pull...............................
You do not have to go through all the muscle groups at one sitting. Practise in order for about forty minutes.
Start at the beginning (hands) at every practice.
Eventually you will be able to go through the whole procedure in twenty minutes. Do two sessions per week of
twenty minutes and practise at home twice a day for ten-twenty minutes at a time e.g when you wake, between
work during the day after tea, when you are getting ready for bed. Do not use the ten-twenty minutes sessions to
start new groups but go over those muscle groups practised in the longer sessions.
