SUP Fitness. The new way to Get Fit.

SUP Fitness.   It’s growing in popularity.   But what is it?   It’s combining fitness exercises on a SUP board.  You can work any part of your body, just like you do in the gym.  

But you are out on the water, in the outdoors.  It just adds a whole new pleasant dimension to working out.  The water is calming and getting into the fresh air is invigorating.    You also get a much more intensive, and all over workout as you maintain balance on the water.

SUP Fitness boards are large and with a qualified ASI SUP Fitness instructor, you will easily be able to perform the Modified SUP fitness exercises, without failing in the water.  

SUP fitness can also be conducted in cooler weather – you get warm pretty quickly !

Be wary of people offering SUP fitness who are not properly qualified.   SUP Fitness Instructors must  only be delivered by qualified personal trainers and also holding at least an ASI Level 1 SUP Instructor qualification.   This ensures your personal safety  - they understand the SUP water environment where there are potential hazards and that you are only performing fitness exercises that are suitable to a SUP board, so you do not injure muscle groups.

ASI has created the world’s first SUP Fitness Instructor program that works with qualified personal trainers to deliver modified fitness exercises on a SUP Board.   In particular, ASI has identified two distinct levels.      

Level 1 covers risk management and safety, equipment, anchoring systems, a range of proven and tested SUP fitness exercises, and ASI SUP fitness session plans.

The Level 2 is more advanced and works with resistance bands and circuits with a range of  resistance band exercises all slightly modified for the SUP board and a number of ASI SUP fitness session plans.

The ASI SUP Fitness programs have been developed by Zoe Lee.  She is a highly qualified fitness professional based in Bournemouth UK, with over 25 years hands on fitness experience including REPS registered Level 3, Rebox Step, RAS to Music, Les Mills Body Pump, Body combat, Jam, Balance.  She was the first in the UK, to deliver SUP fitness, utilising adapted gym based fitness exercises.

Work those abs, tum and bum, lower and upper body, cardo, core and back.  Get the heart pumping and that healthy glow that comes from being in the outdoors.
