Claaass! Back to strength & conditioning you yuckleheads.
If you're looking for a good training program that relates very well to kneeboarding, try high intensity water workouts. I started 2yrs. ago as rehab after surgury and soon discovered that it was the best workout I,ve ever done for kneeboarding. It develops core body strength, cardio, endurance, flexibility, kicking and paddeling strength.
Here's a website with a great online introductory video.

My local YMCA offers morning and evening classes with great instuctors 6 days a week, so I have no excuses and it's worth way more then it costs.
Try it. You'll like it.
By the way, I use dumbell floaties rather than the floatation belt for more upper body resistance.

tread lightly, lean forward, leave a clean trail.

I follow a 3-day split workout plan. Torso one day.....arms the next.....legs the 3rd. Pretty heavy workout, but parts get a 2 day rest inbetween seshes......takes me about 1 to 1 1/2 hours a day.
Mostly this season I blow off the gym and just surf.....though somedays I still do both.
I also try to take rest days off from the water now and again to let the body rehab and not get too stressed out.....it's in the "resting" that the musclature rebuilds and rehabs, not in the exertion cycle.
I've been asked why, at almost 59, I work so hard.
The simple answer is: "I'm training for old age.":twisted:
Can't WIN that battle....but I can give it a heckuva fight!

Flexibility or Stiffness
Cheers

Hi Sophia, seems you have some physio training, so hope you might have some insights. My legs and back are both really not flexible. I try to do stretching myself at the gym and once had a PT to help with stretching by really never progressed.
I think part of the challenge is that during kneeboarding we wear fins, and our the positioning of the feet compared to the leg builds some unusual muscles.
Any suggestions and comments.
Thanks mucho
