How to Train for Stand Up Paddle Boarding？

2024,12,17

The utter simplicity of stand up paddle boarding (SUPing) is a big part of its appeal. It's just you, the water, your board and a paddle. (Plus, of course, a few key essentials.) One oft-overlooked aspect is conditioning: A several hour SUP tour will re-introduce you to muscles you haven't been in touch with for a while. Below we offer a simple workout plan to reacquaint you with them.

This workout is designed to increase strength, endurance and balance in the legs, hips, abdominal area and back. A few exercises also build endurance in shoulder and arm muscles that you'll be moving continuously as you do paddle strokes. (Doing prehab exercises like these also makes it less likely you'll need rehab after your SUP season.)

Here's a quick, general overview of how to train for SUPing:
1. Increase strength in core muscles that help you generate paddling power.
2. Build endurance in shoulder and arm muscles, which will need to be in continuous motion as you paddle on each side of your board.
3. Improve your balance so you have a more stable base that will allow you to do your paddle strokes smoothly and efficiently.
4. Add cardio time, too. Complement this workout plan with any exercise that builds up your heart and lungs—swimming is a great aerobic exercise to integrate with your SUP training.
