Surfitness Circuit Training
Work for 40 seconds Rest for 20 seconds
In the fitness world there are few steadfast rules to follow. The following principle however, is accepted by all educated and experienced fitness professionals. The S.A.I.D. principle - Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands. Simply put, you only get specifically what you train for. For example; Running will not make your chest bigger and bench pressing will not help you win a marathon.
So, any exercises you can do that closely mimic the aspects of surfing will help your surfing.
Like most explosive sports, surfing is a circuit- like event. (start-stop-start-stop) So it only makes sense to pick exercises that work your energy systems the same way. Circuit training is by far the most superior form of endurance training for surfing. Remember to use exercises that look and feel like surfing during your circuits. Here is an example:-

The right kind of strength training is essential to performance and injury prevention. We know we don’t need the strength of a football player or a bodybuilder to surf, so we shouldn’t train like one. Get your strength through functional surfing like moves (see example) to get proper surfing strength. Makes sense right?
SurFitness developed this program because they were sick and tired of seeing surfers and other water people training like body builders. When you train with an integrated approach, you train for function, not aesthetics. This program represents years of research, feedback and tons of positive results in improving the way we all move and how we perform in and out of the water. Check out http://www.surfitness.com
