What are the best stand-up paddling exercises?

What looks simple from the shore can easily become chaotic and exhausting in practice. After all, you鈥檙e trying to transfer power while maintaining balance on a constantly fluctuating surface. Use these movements to develop the skills you need to paddle efficiently:

Split Squat Rotational Chop

Why it works: This move closely mimics being on the board by forcing you to maintain a stable base and good posture while you work with resistance. Plus, you鈥檒l build leg strength.

How to do it: Attach a rope to a high pulley on a cable machine. Stand perpendicular to the machine in a split squat position with your inside foot forward. Holding the rope with both hands let your arms rotate toward the machine. Pull the rope diagonally down and across your body. Reverse the movement and return to the starting position. Finish the set, switch sides and repeat. ()

Stability Ball Roll Outs

Why it works: This move engages your abs while your arms reach overhead鈥攃losely mimicking the way your top hand reaches forward to start each stroke. It also teaches you to initiate with your core to maximize stroke efficiency.

How to do it: Kneel on the ground with your arms straight and the back of your hands on a stability ball in front of you. Roll the ball forward while keeping a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. Pull the ball back to the starting position and repeat. ()听

Start by activating your muscles with a proper dynamic warm-up. There’s a lot of acceleration and deceleration needed so it’s important to loosen your hips and groin first with movements like lateral squats and drop lunges.

Next, master your skills with a mini band. If you’ve never used a band before, pick one up it’s cheap and it travels. Use it for lateral band walks. Watch .

In a defensive position, you want to stay low (you can always come up), so maintain a low stance during your lateral band walks. It’s a good habit and it’ll also help build endurance in your leg muscles. Loop the band over your knees, get in a quarter- to half-squat position, with your toes straight ahead and the weight over the middle of your feet, and then sidestep. Pick a point on the horizon and make sure your eyes aren’t moving up and down. It’s important for posture, and it’s another good habit to help you keep the defender in front of you. Try 3 sets of 8-12 reps in each direction.

How can I improve my time in the 40-yard-dash?

Remember when you ran to catch the school bus as a kid? The chase only lasted a few seconds, but you were still winded. That's the type of exercise almost nobody does as an adult, but if you want to improve your sprint time, you need to work on short bursts of explosive exercise.

You can develop your body's energy system responsible for this sort of explosiveness with 4- to 6-second drills, and it's not necessary to perform sprints at first. Instead, kick it into high gear for 5 seconds on a bike or move your feet back and forth over a line as quickly as you can for 5 seconds will work. Watch as an example.

These drills don't require you to decelerate your body like sprinting does so you're less likely to blow a hammy, but you'll still condition your mind and body for speed.

Work on mobility, stability and strength, which all contribute to speed as well, and then try progressing to short sprints and work on your running technique to shave seconds off your time.

How can I train for endurance if I'm often at sea?

First, recognize what you have. Are there stairs on the ship? Do you have some exercise equipment? Is there a track around the outside of the ship? Take a look around to see what’s available. Even if it’s just you in a room, you can still use your bodyweight to perform challenging circuits, including skipping, marching in place and jumping rope.

Think of this as an opportunity to change your routine and focus on the basics. Ask yourself which exercises you can modify to do in place, such as lunges. List all the moves you can think of and create a bodyweight circuit. After your circuit, hit the stairs for at least five minutes.
