Looking for alternative ways to stay active and live near a body of water? Try stand-up paddleboarding (AKA supping). Originating in Hawaii, supping is a water sport where you stand on a floating board and use a paddle to propel yourself through the water.
It’s a Great Full-Body Workout
Supping is a great way to get a full-body workout whilst having fun. It simultaneously targets multiple muscle groups, including your upper body, arms, core, and legs. It’s low impact, meaning you don’t have to worry about the wear and tear on your body. Supping also helps to improve your balance, build endurance and burn calories.
Helps You Connect With the Outdoors
Supping is a sport that is almost always done outside. Starting the day with a sunrise paddle on a calm sea is an amazing way to immerse yourself in nature and get some vitamin D.
Boosts Your Mood
Supping is a very low-stress and calming form of exercise. It has been linked to improved mood, less stress and anxiety, and has even been recommended for those struggling with depression. Exercise and spending time outside are both essential for mental wellbeing, and supping ticks both boxes!
