Overweight People Learn to Surf and often change their lifestyle into new opportunities. Getting fit to surf is a challenge that effects every aspect of a persons health and wellbeing. Once a person is fit to surf, they can engage in most physical activities.
Surfing is a full body sport. It requires strength, flexibility, and stamina. There is a power to weight ratio that says a person must be able to lift their weight off the surfboard. More than strength, this requires flexible muscles and joints. There is an obvious advantage to losing weight while getting stronger and a new surfer will notice improvement as both progress.
The Program for Getting Surf Fit
Losing weight is a practice that can begin immediately. Start eliminating bad foods and addictions. Sugar is the number one culprit and carbohydrates are a main source of sugar. The problem with carbohydrates that are converted to glucose (sugar) and straight sugar is that the body can only use so much and then it is transported to fat.
The body that doesn’t exercise loses the glucose receptors in the muscles so that glucose passes the muscle storage capacity and is transported directly to fat. As one starts to exercise and build muscle, the glucose is absorbed and consumed as fuel. Better than that, when exercise is extended past 20 minutes the body will start to seek fat reserves for more fuel.
Building strength in the upper body, core, and lower body are all important for surfing. A few exercises that build strength and flexibility are burpies, squats, deadlifts, and push ups. These four exercises can bring great progress to the surfing pop up. Deadlifts and squat can begin without weights and then weights can be added when form is perfect.
Stamina is an aerobic process. One can begin with walking and increase endurance from walking ten minutes a day to an hour a day. Biking, swimming, hiking, and treadmills all improve stamina. Stamina is important because surfing is a lot of effort and one needs energy for fast paddling and immediate recovery from that effort. More stamina means more practice time in the water.
Combining everything even if only a few things a day can start making a difference. It will hopefully become a lifetime habit and fitness can become a good addiction. Good health follows. Surfing fun follows both.
