SUP - A fun way to exercise!

Last week, Little Miss and I had the pleasure of getting to try out Stand-up Paddle Boards for the first time.  If you're not near a large body of water, you may be wondering what on earth SUP is!  In my opinion, it is without a doubt the most fun exercise you'll ever get!  The boards are similar to surf boards, but wider.  You stand on the board and paddle to get around.  

I was terrified that I would fall off of the board, but it was extremely stable!  Once I got comfortable on the board it was so much fun!  We were even in darker water, so you couldn't see the bottom - I imagine it's even better when you can glide and look at all of the cool animals swimming beneath you!  

Little Miss wouldn't get on the board with me, so the kind people there watched her while I took a demo ride.  Unfortunately that meant I wasn't able to stay out long, but it was enough to get me hooked!  How many other things combine relaxation with a great core workout?  Since your board is constantly moving (slightly), your body is constantly working to stay level.  You probably won't even realize it!

Now I just have to figure out how to come up with the money to buy one!  They sure are expensive, but I think we'd get a lot of use out of one.  

Have you tried a SUP?
