The Lodge at Woodloch hosted a Stand Up Paddleboarding Demo at its lake behind the spa.  Francine Huber, who was raised in Hawaii but now lives in the Poconos, brought the equipment on-site for the adventure guides and a few others to try out.  Everyone had a blast with this fast growing low impact water sport that allows you to experience the outdoors while getting fit.  In this sport, you stand up on a surfboard while using a paddle to maneuver.  After the guides had an opportunity to try a variety of different paddleboards with different capabilities and stability,  Fran led the group through t where we went through a series of strength and conditioning exercises.  While the routines were simple, the workout was absolutely fantastic as every movement required maintaining your balance as well.
