training inspiration

I ran into this video on Facebook the other day... this guy has come up with some amazing SUP training exercises.  I've added a bunch of these moves into my own training and I can tell you, they are difficult and effective.  And by the way, even if you're not into Stand Up or any other water sports, the body awareness that these exercises develop will make you better at anything you do... Have a look.

back in the gym... and some inspiration from Oxbow

     Well, now that the holiday madness is over it's back in the gym to begin preparing for the 2012 water season.  I'll try to put together a post or two showing some of the SUP specific training I'm doing.  For now I'll just say that it feels great to be back in the gym and working toward a specific goal.  

     I know it's hard to get motivated when it's frigid outside and spring seems so far away.  The clothing company Oxbow sponsors some of the world's top water athletes and they put together this amazing video capturing what it means to be a waterman.  This should help you get re-focused...
