Snowboards – Wakeboards – Skateboards

Kitesurfing is an activity that has seen vast increases in its popularity lately. In fact, the governing body in the UK claim it is the fastest growing of all water sports. It is also one of the fastest growing extreme sports overall, and it seems people are ditching their snowboards in favour of kites, as snowboarding growth has recently been overtaken by this great sport . If you want to take up the activity however, you’re body better be in pretty good condition. These main areas are where your fitness focus should be.

• Upper Body Strength. As areas of general fitness go, this has to be among those of greatest importance to train. The upper body is responsible for around 75% of the work load when you’re on the water and if you want any chance of staying in control, it is vital these muscles are conditioned. The main muscle group you need to work on are the deltoids (shoulder muscles). These are responsible for a lot of the movements and are also stabilising muscles. Also focus on the pectoral muscles and those of the upper back

• Core Strength. Due to fact there is so much movement and various directions of force taking place in the sport, your core muscles should be well trained. One very good way to improve your overall core strength abilities is to use a core-stability ball. You may also have to add extra weights to your core stability exercises in order to truly match the kind of forces you will face in the when in the water. Often the kite will want to pull you in a direction you do not want to go so it will be your developed core strength that will let you remain planted

• Aerobic Fitness. Although the sport is arguable not aerobically centred, it does require a well developed heart and lungs. Because lots of different muscles will be called upon frequently, the energy systems will be calling for incredible amounts of oxygen and will be creating large amounts of lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Without efficient heart and lungs to supply the oxygen and remove the waste products from the blood, you will become fatigued very quickly. Jogging or cycling are ideal methods for enhancing your CV (heart and lungs) system.
