Before your first retreat or surf lesson we recommend developing your fitness where you can. Here is a guide that we suggest will benefit your surfing:
Swimming (freestyle) 200-400m building to 1 or 2km 1-3 times per week.
15-30mins jogging or walking on soft sand.
Paddling surfboard in still water 15mins and building.
Core strength (lower abdominals) exercises.
Remember Slowly build your fitness so you keep it up.
It's most important to stretch before and after exercise.
Keep up a maintenance program; try and do something active regularly (ideally 6 times per week).
If you have attended a Samudra lesson or retreat before you will be familiar with a program that works for you and your schedule.
If you are familiar with a yoga practice then continue this as regular as you can.
