Hi Beth,

I'm trying to get in better shape for surfing so I can improve my performance and endurance. Books are helpful, but videos are more useful to me, even if they have cheesy music. Can you recommend any good videos for getting in shape for surfing?

Thanks,
Matt

Hey Matt,

Over the years, many of you have asked, "What's the best way to get in shape for surfing?" Well, I'm happy to report there is now a GREAT new workout program that is designed specifically for the demands of surfing. The program is called Surf Stronger and is available on DVD.

This program is long overdue and really gets to the crux of training for surfing. The 45 minute workout uses a fitness ball and dumbbells (every surfer should own these!), and focuses on developing power and core strength, and increasing flexibility. After a quick warm-up, you will be sweating in the first ten minutes.

The program is designed by fitness experts Scott Adams and Todd Walsh, both regulars on the heavy days at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. And contrary to popular perception about workout DVDs, this one has a KILLER soundtrack that will keep you motivated throughout the workout.

Check it out at www.surfstronger.com.

Hasta,
Beth
