Paddlewisers, I am a strong supporter of weight/circuit and yoga training for sea kayakers. More important than helping to improve speed and endurance for paddling, it also helps prevent injuries and soreness, and speeds recovery from injuries, if done right. Also, in sea kayaking there is a lot of physical exertion on land, doing things such as carrying kayaks and gear up and down the beach and hiking, which the weights can help more with than just paddling. The weights and yoga work a lot of muscles that really aren't worked that much in paddling and provide more balanced physical fitness.
