ChicagoSurfer
I live in Chicago, and hence only am able to surf for about 3 weeks every year. Still, I like to stay in shape for when I'm able to catch some waves.
I'm an avid swimmer, and find that swimming keeps me in the best overall shape for surfing. I do an average of 2000-5000 yards about 3-4 times a week.
I lift about 2-3 times a week, focusing on shoulders, upper pecks, triceps and back. I prefer lifts that hit multiple muscle categories, such as military presses or dumbbell shoulder presses.
I like to add at least 10-20 min of cardio running or cycling after my workouts, and of course stretching afterward.
Skating on my longboard holds me over until I'm able to see the ocean again!
