Total Surfing Fitness program

By John Smithers

I have used and tried several different training programs over the last few years. Some of them I purchased online and some from my local gym, very few has impressed me, or showed me anything new. So I wasn't overly excited when I first heard about Total Surfing Fitness. But when more and more of my surfing buddies started to talk about the quick results they were getting I decided to have a look for myself.

The program is 12 weeks long, I have been doing it for about 5 weeks now and love every part of it, but more importantly, my surfing is better than ever! 5 weeks into the program I was already getting results:

- I was able to surf much longer without getting tired

- Increased paddling power, increased amount of waves caught, more fun in the water

- Great increase in flexibility, I have always been very stiff, trying all sorts of stretches, but this really worked

- Huge increase in board control and technical maneuvers

- Found my self falling in love with surfing again!!

What makes Total Surfing Fitness different from other programs that I have tried is how specific it is to surfing. The creator of the program, Clayton Beatty is not only a keen surfer and a personal trainer. He also has a degree in exercise and health science and knows exactly what type of fitness it takes to get the most out of your surfing.

So is this program for you? Well if you want to surf with more power, more flow and better technique I recommend that you give it a go.

With this program you will also get some good fitness e books as a bonus.

One showing a quick powerful workout for the outdoors. It also includes a fitness test for surfers measuring your balance, core strength and upper body strength. This is very helpful for improving your weak areas with some powerful exercises.

There is also really useful information on nutrition, different fats and their effect on your health.

My favorite bonus is the "turbulence training". A powerful exercise routine that works you like nothing else. It is easy to follow with good photos and instructions. - 16083
