SUP Fitness: Full Body Workout on a Paddle Board
SUP burns 400-700 calories per hour. A one-hour SUP session engages core, legs, back, shoulders, and arms. Interval paddling (sprints + recovery) maximizes cardio. Yoga poses on the board build balance and flexibility. Add SUP-specific strength moves like squats and lunges on the board.

Määritelmä
SUP fitness uses the unstable platform of a paddle board to engage core stabilizers, leg muscles, and upper body through paddling, balancing, and board-based exercises.
Ongelma
Gym workouts have become boring and you want an outdoor activity that builds fitness while being fun. SUP combines adventure with genuine full-body conditioning.
Kuinka se toimii
Paddling engages the latissimus dorsi, deltoids, trapezius, and core muscles for rotation. Standing on a moving platform forces the stabilizer muscles of the ankles, knees, and hips to work constantly. The cardiovascular demands of continuous paddling at moderate intensity provide aerobic conditioning.
Ratkaisu
Structure sessions: 5 min warm-up paddling, 20 min steady-state paddling at moderate pace, 15 min interval paddling (30 sec sprint, 60 sec easy), 10 min board exercises (squats, lunges, push-ups), 5 min cool-down stretching.
