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.

At the moment I have been following this program for 8 weeks and my fitness level and surfing has never been better. The whole program is 12 weeks long, but just after 5 weeks I experienced the below results:

- I could surf about twice as long before getting tired

- I improved my paddling power resulting in getting a lot more waves, having a lot more fun!

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

- Board control and surfing technique

- Realized how much fun surfing is again!

The man behind Total Surfing Fitness, Clayton Beatty not only works as a personal trainer and has a degree in exercise & health science, he is also a keen surfer, and that is exactly what makes this program unique. It is made for surfers by surfers which means that all the exercises are surfing specific and made to get you the fitness to get the most out of your surfing.

So if you want to surf longer, more powerful and with better technique and flow I highly recommend this program.

This program also comes with some really good bonuses.

One is a surfing fitness test that determines your weak areas to know what exercises to focus on. The test measures your body strength, balance and core and also includes a powerful fast outdoor workout.

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. - 15255
