Overweight People Learn Simple Fitness Routines for Surfing

Ready to catch some waves but feel like you need to get
in shape first?

At Oceanside Surf Lessons, we’re here to guide you
through simple fitness routines that can help prepare your body for the surf,
no matter your starting point.

Even if you’re carrying extra weight, our approach is
designed to help you gradually build the strength and stamina needed for
surfing.

Start with Achievable Goals

Losing Weight Gradually: Aiming to lose about two pounds
a week is a safe and achievable goal. This gradual weight loss will not only be
easier to maintain but also less daunting to achieve. Remember, consistency is
key!

Begin with Basic Aerobics: Start by integrating simple
aerobic exercises into your daily routine. Even a 10-minute walk each day can
set the foundation for cardiovascular fitness, which is crucial for surfing. As
your endurance improves, you can increase the duration and intensity of your
walks.

Incorporate Stretching and Flexibility Exercises

Start Stretching: A great goal for beginners is to work
towards placing your palms flat on the ground. This exercise increases your
flexibility, which is essential for mastering surf techniques and preventing
injuries. Incorporate a daily stretching routine to steadily improve your
flexibility.

Strengthen Your Upper Body

Upper Body Exercises: Building upper body strength is
vital for paddling and handling your surfboard. Start with simple exercises
like push-ups or using light weights. As you progress, you can gradually
increase the weight or intensity. Even body-weight exercises like planks can
significantly enhance your strength.

Set Goals for Dynamic Exercises

Make Burpees and Climbing Stairs Your Goal: Both
activities are excellent for building endurance, strength, and agility. Start
with a low number of repetitions and aim to increase as you become more
comfortable. These exercises mimic the dynamic movements used in surfing,
preparing your body for the physical demands of the sport.
