Iowa DNR challenges Iowans to seek fitness through paddling
When Dr. Galyn Vande Zande discovered the magic of kayaking Red Rock Lake in 2010, his main motivations were nature watching and a yearning to explore the area. He never expected to enjoy benefits like lower blood pressure or welcome news on his bathroom scale.
“I was dumbfounded,” said Vande Zande, who has a family practice in Pella. “I had lost 40 pounds in two months.”
Aside from just enjoying an activity outside, central Iowa kayaker Vande Zande discovered that getting fit was part of the package.
