Best Surfing Work Out

is this gruvi?

 

better shape=better paddling=more waves=more practice=better surfing

 

Well, this is actually a topic that I had to deal with over the past several months.
In a nutshell... I excersize regularly... since high school. Im 38years old now. I have always been the type to stay out for hours and hours as long as there is surf. Back in august I noticed I had no gas in the tank. I couldnt paddle from here to there without losing my breath and my muscles burning....
What happend to me was... I got out of shape without realizing it. I usually change my workout routine
2 weeks light wieght, high repititions. 1 to 2 weeks heavy wieght low repetitions. But I got a bit lazy because the heavy wieght workouts were easier and faster. Over the past 3 weeks I have been doing the light wieght high repetitions workout and my endurane is almost totally back. so my suggestion, go to the gym and do squats or other leg press machines with light wieght, 15 to 20 reps for like 4 sets. If you dont know how to do squats have someone knowledgable at the gym show you.

 

do a forum search, this has been discussed numerous times in the past.

 

Dude, you spelled weight wrong 5 times. I thought it might have been a typo, but 5 times! Come on man your 38 years old!!!


OP, Go to the gym and hit those legs. Your legs aren't going to grow from surfing. Maybe toned...but, if you want to strengthen your legs....you need to blast them in the gym. Squats, leg extensions, ect....

And, surf as much as you can....when you surf you are actually using areas of your muscles that aren't being worked out in the gym.

 

OP is probably 13 years old. Lay off the squats..just drink milk for now!!

 

lol. thanks for checking. I spell shiiiiit wrong all the time!

 

troll????????

 

I already told you. If you want to stop throwing thimbles. Do some squats..and throw buckets.

 

It means your a troll!
Checked your profile. So you have been to hawaii, bali, panama, and costa? Oh really! And you don't know how to throw water around?
You spelled costa wrong too. Coasta.....lol

 

Skate a bowl.. or any ramps, but bowls work your legs the hardest

 

swimming deff helps.

 

Do:

Dead-lifts
Squats
Bench/push ups
Pull-ups

All are basic movements that work. Everything else is fluff.

 

I'm sure you meant to say "you're," right?

 

Wrong, I was just typing short. I must admit tho, typing short is in fact misspelling the word...but, for an entire different reason.

haha, see i did it again. tho (though) lol

OP, Why would you write all those places in your travel destinations when you haven't been there? Just curious.....
