Dressing properly for a workout is an important part of having a successful training session. What you wear sets the tone. If you dress lazy, you perform lazy. If you dress in breathable stretchy gear, you are more likely to accomplish your workout goals. Here is what we suggest wearing to achieve your ultimate fall workout.

Now that you have the right workout gear for the fall here are areas to concentrate on training in order to achieve a surf specific workout.

Balance

Some good ways to work on your balance is to train on a balance board/ indo board type of equipment. Balance training can also be achieved by practicing a variation of squats and lunges. Stay balanced and practice often.

Core

A strong core is essential to a high surfing performance. Your core muscles keep you stabilized while paddling, turning and rotating, and balance. An excellent core exercise is the side plank with reach through. To practice this exercise, set yourself on your side and propped up with your arm, stack your feet and pull your arm underneath your body and back all while keeping you head rotating and focused on your arm.

Shoulders

Being a strong paddler is one of the most important parts to surfing. It’s the difference between catching waves and not, and you can’t be a surfer if you don’t catch waves. Push-ups and pool swims are an excellent way to keep your muscles trained and endurance up to par.

Do not cut your session short because you have not trained properly. Be prepared for a fall full of chasing swells. Get your gear ready with Original Watermen and set up a consistent training program. The fall is the best time to get and stay prepared for all of the adventures on the horizon.
