Any idea of how many calories are burned using the paddles?

Wow...I have no idea! You may need to check a website that has a list of calories for each exercise. Sorry couldn't help you more. Great for toning.

The paddles do increase water resistance by quite a bit so you will definitely burn more calories than exercising without them. The number of calories would depend on what exercises you are doing, the amount of time and the intensity.

We do several different ones. This may sound crazy but, if you are sitting on one of the noodles and peddaling (like on a bike) and rowing with the paddles, you get a pretty good workout. I like them because I really feel it in my arms.

Not enough! Honestly, I have no idea. We use them in our water aerobics class and your arms really do feel like you've used them tho! We use them with the little "windows" closed for increased resistance.

Nothing is listed in the manuals I have (including the safety section). Calorie burn rate charts are provided for individuals ranging from 100 to 300 pounds, but I would not assume that to be a max limit. Each ski is supported by 3 rollers (front, middle, and back). I would contact the manufacturer if you need more info.

I have this paddle and is lighter than most that I've used. Produces very good spin if you like hard rubbers

Hi. I don't know what model number they were, but they were the Yakgrips that were completely seamed together (without velcro) and not able to be adjusted. Though I have both, I do like these better, as they situate themselves much better without requiring constant readjustments. In doing this, you lose the ability to put them on paddles that do not break down into 2 or more pieces, as their ability to stretch open is the only way you can put them on the paddles. With one of my paddles, I had to have the velcro model in order to be able to put them on in the first place. Some of the new infinite adjustment paddles offer similar problems, as their design places the adjuster/lock at the end of one of the pieces, with their diameter being quite a bit larger than the shaft itself, so there is extra work and effort required to work the grips over the enlarged attachments. I like both a lot, and the comfort factor is a great improvement to long distance/time paddling. The only issue I see is that if you have issues with inconsistent patterns in the way things feel, this might be a problem as the seams stretch the length of the grips and are very noticeable in the feel of your hands. I always need to make sure the seams are in the right position to offer the least obvious inconsistency/bump in the pad. This is true with both the fixed seam models, as well as, the velcro ones, though the velcro ones are even more pronounced.

Don't know for sure. You should have received an extra set of paddles with your initial purchase. If not, I would try Allied Precision website.

I don't remember. I actually sent it back because it doesn't allow you to input the proper weight, height and gender into it so my calories burned was based on a150 lb man. Sorry I couldn't help more

Wet the inside of the yak grip. Some paddles are easier than others to slide these on. I wouldn't go kayaking without them. I think I have them on 5 paddles.

No idea. Not that I could tell the difference but the paddle seems of very high quality. For $30 I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Killerspin is on the lighter side , since it only has 5 plies. I own both paddles, but have used Stiga for only 2 days, and I have noticed that Stiga is a bit harder to control. If you like light weight paddles, go with Killerspin 600. Both paddles have good spins and speeds.

You will not have no problem with paddles. Boat is so light and glides on water with no problem. But watch out for wind hope this helps great little boat

Hi Linda, I actually don't know the answer to your question. My use involves simply jumping on it and exercising. I tend to work up quite a sweat. So I just assume it's burning a lot of calories. Wish I could tell you more. Maybe Schwinn can help? Best of Luck! Ron

The paddles give resistance in the water to strengthen your arms. I hold them while walking & running backwards, forwards and sideways, doing jumping jacks, slow marching, rocking back & forth, swaying side to side, doing windmills, standing on tip toes and bending forward & backward.

I agree. It is harder to push than my old machine, especially on the uphill side of a sloped drive. My machine is only a year old, so I don't think it's worn paddles, but I really don't know the answer. It seems strange for a machine with plenty of power.

Yes both paddles I had purchased the rubbers fell off after about 2-3 months...

Hi Fran - These have between 130 & 160 calories per packet with the majority of flavors having 140 calories.I like to pour a packet in a cup of coffee for a decadent taste treat - yum
