It’s not really a secret that physical activity is hugely important when it comes to any level of success in a health regimen. While it may be tempting to relegate yourself to the gym and home fitness DVDs there is actually a huge variety of stuff out there for you to try out! We recommend stand up paddle-boarding. Here’s why…

Tone and Lose Fat

Stand up paddle-boarding makes burning calories and getting rid of a few pounds feel effortless and entertaining… you see while this is a chilled and energizing activity it’s actually engaging all of your core muscles. After just a few sessions you’ll notice a healthy ache in muscles you didn’t even know you had, and after a few more you’ll feel noticeably more powerful. There are very few activities which offer a chance to tone your whole body at one go in such a way, and next to none which will do so in such a gentle and enjoyable way; SUP is without a doubt the best way to start building those lean, taut muscles.

Stress is one of the biggest roundabout killers known to man; stress lies at the root of many diseases and healthy problems, as well as many mental illnesses, and this is why it’s so important that we minimize the stress in our lives. SUP can provide more than one way to relieve stress, too, as it not only allows for a physical release for built-up tension, but it also takes place in settings which are generally more tranquil, peaceful, and quiet than your average gym or jogging trail. The natural beauty of the sea, the sunshine on your skin, and the gentle breeze are sure fire stress killers.

Get Social

Whether you find yourself engaging in a race with your friends, or just heading out for a leisurely cruise with loved ones stand up paddle boarding offers a great chance to get some social therapy. Humans have a need to connect socially with each other, and paddle boarding gives us the perfect opportunity to do just that while you improve your body. Not only will you feel a stronger connection to your loved ones after a day on the waves, but you’ll soothe your mind and body at the same time.

Connect with Yourself

Exercise is all about finding a connection to your body and improving it, as well as your physical capabilities, gradually. Stand up paddle boarding requires a plethora of muscles to keep you balanced on the water; as you pay attention to each movement of your body you’ll develop a sense of what your muscles are capable of and how to use them best. Once you’ve really mastered SUP you can consider practising SUP Yoga where the sport of paddle boarding meets the flexibility and balance requirements of yoga.
