SCULPTS THE SHOULDERS

Paddling across the lake or down the river is a superb upper-body toner. Okafor explains that the pushing and pulling motion engages the front and rear deltoids, latissimus dorsi and trapezius to slim and sculpt the shoulders and tone the upper back. Another boon: Studies show that the activity can burn up to 175 calories in just 30 minutes!

TO TONE EVEN FASTER: Twist your whole torso to the side each time you take a stroke. You’ll activate the obliques to slim the waist.
