There’s no doubt surfing takes its physical toll on your body. If you aren’t well conditioned and are in poor cardiovascular shape….good luck out there. Below is a quick surfer’s workout. It is designed to help get your body in shape for the demands that surfing brings. Even if you don’t surf, the workout is a nice way to mix up your current routine and push your body in different ways. Changing a routine every 6-8 weeks is always a good idea to keep your muscles confused and your gains increasing.
