Episode 16
Get fit with Jodelle Fitzwater
This week Nick chats with real-life mermaid Jodelle who is based in the mid west, USA. Addicted to water since a young age, Jodelle had an instant connection to stand up paddling from the second that she first stepped onto a board.
Jodelle was a personal trainer and into nutrition and exercise as a way to optimise health and quickly recognised stand up paddle as the perfect vehicle to provide ”vitamin P” for people’s lives.
Jodelle is sponsored by BIC after being talent spotted by the company and is known for developing the Stand Up Paddle TV video series on Youtube. In this interview Jodelle chats about:
- “vitamin P”
- adventure paddle,
- Paddlefit,
- yoga,
- the SUP industry
- and for good measure gives us some bonus recipes for some great snacks to take on a SUP trip
Jodelle’s Energy Balls
- Macadamia, almond or coconut butter
- Half cup of oats
- Scoop of whey protein powder
- cacao nibs or raisins
Melt the butter & mix with the oats. Mix in the protein powder and finish off with cacao nibs or raisins. Mix thoroughly and mould into balls and keep in a baggie to pop in your mouth when you need an energy boost.
Jodelle’s Recovery Drink
You don’t have to buy a specialist sports drink, instead make your own. Take a bottle of water, add a teaspoon of baking soda, two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and sweeten with stevia or honey.
