Jennifer Aniston and her good friend Courtney Cox recently broke away for some “girl time” down in the Hawaiian Islands. Paddling a surfboard with a kayak paddle must be a “to do” while on the islands, as Jennifer and Courtney are both giving it a shot. Oh, and you can’t see Courtney in the photo (this was the best one available), but trust me, it’s her… and it looks like she’s about to fall!
Maybe it's because it's fun, but I'm sure she also likes it because SUP is a phenomenal workout. SUP is basically where you stand on a surf board (or kayak) and paddle. If requires a good deal of balance, but it's not about catching waves. SUP can be done on totally flat water and since you are standing up, you are able to get a much better view of what is going on in and out of the water. Being that it is all about balance, SUP basically works every muscle in your body. Not only are you working your legs, but you're also working your arms and core. You'll be improving your fast-twitch muscles (crucial for balance and reaction time), which makes SUP a great cross-training workout since almost all sports/exercises rely on balance and core strength. Plus since you'll probably be falling off a bunch in the beginning, you'll be getting a good workout pulling yourself back onto the board. SUP fans regularly claim that just thirty minutes will work your body much harder than several hours of surfing.
