As a surfer, you know that that physical fitness aspect can
affect the way you surf. Basically, it will affect your wave count as a surfer.
If you noticed that you are catching fewer waves that what you were used to before
when you were younger and fitter, then it only means that you are getting out
of shape. Maybe it's all those late night parties you had with other surfing
buddies after a day of great surfing? Or, maybe you just got lazy to exercise?
Whatever it is, you have to remember that physical fitness
is always important if you are a surfer. So, what should you do to get back in
shape? Well, the answer would be to exercise. However, you need to remember
that before you start a new exercise routine, you need to first assess your
current fitness level. You should also start out slow in order to avoid
injuries which will prevent you from surfing altogether.
First of all, you need to remember that the exercise program
you do should be tailored to surfing. This means that you shouldn’t do
bodybuilding exercises or bulk up. What you need is to be fit enough and stay
in shape in order for you to catch more waves. Going through a bodybuilding
program will only result in having a stiff body, which is definitely a no-no for
surfers.
As a surfer, you need to go for a program that has a good
mix of cardio exercises, strength training, stretching, and plyometrics.
