Total Surfing Fitness program

By John Smithers

I have always been interested in trying new training techniques and fitness programs. Most of the ones I used for the last few years has not impressed me at all. But when a few of my surfing friends started with the Total Surfing Fitness program, and I could really see how their surfing improved radically, I decided to give it a try.

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 could surf about twice as long before getting tired

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

- Flexibility, leading to smoother surfing and decreasing my chance of injury. I never thought I would be able to reach this level of flexibility this fast!

- Huge increase in board control and technical maneuvers

- Rediscovered the love for surfing!

So what makes Total Surfing Fitness such a unique program? For one it is designed specifically for surfers by surfers. Clayton Beatty, whom is behind the program is a certified personal trainer with a bachelors degree in exercise & health science, as well as a super keen surfer that knows exactly what it takes to get the best waves.

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.

This program also comes with some really good bonuses.

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.

There is one bonus that I really like. The "turbulence training" workout. This routine is very powerful and well described with photos and clear explanations exactly how to get quick results.
