Get in shape with FULCRUM SURF
For millions of people across the world, the physical exertion of surfing is their preferred method of exercise. Like hiking, it is an activity where the participant interacts with the natural environment and forgets that they are building endurance and improving their overall well being.
If you are looking for a challenging workout that doesn’t involve expensive gym memberships or pushy personal trainers, try taking a surfing lesson with Fulcrum and you’ll quickly realize why surfers have the fittest bodies on the beach.
The workout begins on the walk to the water. Soft sand is great for toning the gluteus maximums and pushing past oncoming waves engages the hamstrings. Once paddling, you are using the triceps, biceps, deltoids, trapezius, rectus abdominis, latissimus dorsi, and the obliques muscle groups. Once up and riding on a wave, the ever important core muscles are activated as the surfer flexes their abdominals to maintain balance and propel themselves forward.
The most compelling reason as to why surfing makes for a great workout is because the ocean is a static environment. Where a gym might have the variation of an occasional new machine, surfing changes every time you paddle out. Every day presents a new challenge as the swell, tide, and wind fluctuate to produce a whole new workout routine. Some days, paddling out is a breeze and other days, getting out the back past where the waves breaking is a fete in itself. But while paddling can be strenuous it is great for building and toning muscle and doesn’t have the same wear and tear on one’s joints like lifting weights does.
If you ask any surfer though, they’ll tell you that they don’t surf because of the work out but because of the endorphin rush often described as “being stoked”. Ever walk out of a gym feeling confident and sexy? That sensation is magnified ten fold after a few hour surf session. Surfing is one of the only activities where you’re simultaneously involved in a community while interacting with the environment all the while getting a killer workout for free. Most surfers practice yoga to increase flexibility and to help prevent injury. The two combined are an excellent way to stay in shape and maintain a positive and healthy lifestyle.
If you are looking for a fun and affordable way to get in shape, try a Fulcrum Surf Lesson and you’ll be on your way to finally obtaining the physique you’ve always dreamed of.
