“I build programs I know I can follow to help paddlers get the results they want”
I am a competitive dragon boat coach. I know what paddler fitness looks like to be considered a strong paddler. Just because you are active DOES NOT mean you are paddling fit! I have worked diligently to put together a progression plan that delivers safe and effective dragon boat fitness training to get you results! This progressive training has one purpose, develop stroke power.
– Cheryl Roose
The #1 mistake I see paddlers make is they take fitness classes, not train. They see this when they fall short in the 2K or the 200M sprint race as they may have trained that energy zone but not PEAKED IT!
This program is designed to prepare the body for each progression done over the land season to include pool paddling and camp to best prepare you for the paddling season. We focus on developing a strong core, patterns of movement and strength for functional paddling.
Bottom line, being conditioned for paddling before you get on the water makes you a better paddler!
Program consists of written and video instruction

The following videos give you a sneak peek into some of the exercises that are specific to the dragon boat fitness training program. These exercises train the firing patterns of the body that build strong stroke mechanics.
These movement pattern drills accompany the weekly training sessions!
Here is a link to one of my articles that dives into the progression and value of training each energy systems to increase overall cardio fitness!
This movement wakes up the firing sequence to create rotation of opposites!
Hinging in rotation gives us the ability to land the full core on the water not just the arms.
Wake up the kinetic chain from heel to glutes to get them firing and producing power.
This exercise is a drill to wake up the firing pattern of linear rotation.
