[Paddlewise] Leg Circulation

I'm wondering if some of readers of the list have had some experience with
the problem of leg circulation while paddling. I have taken up sea-kayaking
this year after a lot of canoeing the past few years. I find that after a
couple of hours of paddling, I have difficulty getting out of the cockpit of
my Impex Assateague...not so much because of my height (6'3" w/34-inch
inseam), but because my legs don't want to work very well. Any
thoughts/experience regarding leg exercises, etc. while paddling, would be
great to hear. I do try to use my legs with each forward stroke, and also
try to vary my foot positions often. 

TIA - John Gamel
