Summer is just around the corner and it’s the perfect time to give new, fun water sports a shot. If you still haven’t tried S.U.P. AKA standup paddleboarding, here are a couple of reasons why it may be the perfect summer activity for you.
Full-Body Workout
If you’re looking for a fun workout that targets several muscle groups at the same time, standup paddleboarding will do wonders for your back muscles, arms, legs, shoulders, and core.
Great Cardio
In addition to helping you tone your muscles, S.U.P. is also a great cardio workout and it allows you to burn some major calories along the way.
Low-Impact Workout
SUP is also a great workout for people who may be dealing with knee or hip pain because it’s a low-impact workout that can help you enhance your joint stability.
Improved Balance
By helping you increase core strength and joint stability, standup paddleboarding can do wonders for your balance. After all, balance is required to stand still on the board while you’re paddling.
Stress Relief
If you’re looking for a fun activity that also happens to be a great stress reliever, S.U.P. fits that description. It offers a perfect combo of enjoying nature and socializing with other people, and each session has the power to put you in a better mood.
