Combine Surf Lessons and Fitness Over a Period of Time to improve surfing progress. If you want to surf as a long time exercise and recreation, you can prepare over time by getting your body more fit as you are learning the techniques for improvement.
Surfing is physically demanding and very technical. Some people absorb the technicalities easily and others struggle. It often has to do with how much new physical learning is a constant in your life. Teenagers learn fast. Adults often adapt slower because they have not been learning.
How to Improve Surfing and Physical Capabilities
Getting in better physical condition, learning surfing techniques and losing weight all contribute to better surfing. Physical conditioning for surfing is strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular capability. You will probably find this works for most recreational activities.
One can assign different activities for different days. One day might do strength training on one day and aerobics on another. Flexibility can be part of strength training if you are using the surf specific muscle building exercises. Aerobics can start mild and then build to activities that elevate heart beat. Exercising longer or adding intervals increase intensity.
Improving surfing usually centers on the pop up. This is the main focus of training surf muscles and flexibility. Practicing the surf pop up in the living room daily is a good exercise. It builds surf specific muscles and technique at the same time. Both prepare for the water.
Taking surf lessons and practicing in the water help progress. New surfers often lapse into bad habits as they start relying on instincts instead of what they have been taught. Reading and watching videos can also assist. This becomes a full time project. Hey, all the work might lend itself to the work life balance you were seeking.
Make the step. Up your exercise.
Read a good book to get ready.
