Surfing Fitness Exercises

Posted by Unknown On 00:33

Surfing is a great exercise but it is very important to maintain a varied fitness exercise training program on top of surfing. Surfing fitness exercises will enhance your performance and overall enjoyment of the sport. The Surfing Exercises and Workouts we will be recommending are designed to deliver additional balance, flexibility,
strength, and endurance to each session. Please make certain of your level of fitness before attempting a new exercise or routine.
As Surfers we may not realize we are athletes, and realizing this may be a shock. After all, how could that much fun be considered a "Sport"? I know I did not realize it for years. Surfing got into my blood and took over my whole being like an addiction when I was twelve, 1958. Yes, I am over 60, just as stoked as ever and fit enough to surf every day. Like everyone I have suffered some setbacks but I have always maintained my fitness so I could surf which has rewarded me with a healthy life and a young outlook on life.
Remember, Surfing is a solo sport and these exercises are for you and about you. You must not feel any competition when doing them. Enjoy them and do as much as you can so you can enjoy surfing for a long time.
To get us started here is an endurance Surfing Exercise Program for the gym or at home which should take about an hour.
