A SUPer Bod Awaits
You’ve seen everyone SUPing.Rihanna,Cameron, maybe even your mom?
And you’ll fire more muscles than you knew you had.
That means speedier sculpting, not to mention a crazy-fun way to earn killer abs, arms and legs.
Your expert:Hottie Hamptons trainer and SUP instructor Juris Kupris (at left).
He does this water workout with all of his clients and swears everybody nails it on day one.
Check out his daily fit tips@Juriskupris.
You’ll need:A paddle, SUP board and patch of lake, pond or ocean.
(That means more than 10 reps!)
Exercise newbies, aim for 20 or more; fit-nistas, strive for 30-plus.
Try for more reps every time you do this routine.
Rise up on toes as you lift paddle in front of you (as shown).
Push left hand into board to raise torso as high as you could (as shown).
Do reps; repeat on opposite side.
Lift hips, rotating right hip toward left shoulder (as shown).
Push down until arms are straight to lift body out of the water (as shown).
Slowly lower to start.
(Stumped about how to do this on a couch cushion?Watch Kupris explain.)
Do reps; switch sides, then repeat.
Hold for a beat, then return to start and repeat.
Do reps.
Before You Go, Know How to… Take your maiden voyage on a calm lake or a bay, then work up to choppier open water.
(Youwillwant to rent first; a new kit costs upwards of $1,500.)
And pick a paddle with a shaft that’s as tall as your shoulder.
Smart-girl move: Use a board with a side handle.
Carrying your ride on your head is handy, too.
Holding the paddle:Paddling on your right side?
Left hand is on top and right hand grasps paddle near your hip.
(For the other side, vice versa.)
Cool pointer: You don’t have to switch sides to go straight.
Instead of trying to catch yourself, jump in.
“Hopping back on is like getting out of a pool.
Push up in the center, roll legs toward the back, and you’re SUPing again.”
