1. Full Body Workout: If you're looking for a complete body workout, SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding) is your sport. Between balancing yourself on your board and propelling yourself through the water, almost every muscle group is put to work, including your legs, core, back, abdominals, shoulders and arms.
2. Abs of Steel: Are you looking to show off your abs this summer? Paddle Boarding provides a phenomenal core workout. The twisting motion of paddling combined with balancing to keep your stance on the board will engage your core like no other. Don't believe us? Come try a paddle lesson!
3. Heart-Healthy: Studies have shown that Paddle Boarding improves cardiovascular health, which can help you to avoid heart-related diseases such as heart attack and stroke.
4. Low Impact: SUP is a low impact sport, which means you can still achieve intense results without putting unnecessary strain on your joints. If you are prone to tendon or ligament injury, this can be a great opportunity to still get in a great workout while not having to worry about the risk of injury. SUP is often used in athletic rehabilitation therapy.
5. Stress Reduction: Spending time engulfed in nature pulls you away from the busy and sometimes stressful world of cell phones, deadlines, bills, and anything else you have weighing on your mind. You will be amazed at the amount of stress you will shed by simply spending time away from it all.
