Wakeboarding Workout
So in Oregon half the year it is raining. Therefore we end up with a lot of down time. Over the years we have developed a weight lifting program that seems to be pretty compatible with wakeboarding. Our philosophy on weightlifting and how it correlates with wakeboarding: Once a rider has learned a trick and the skill set to pull it off consistently it does not require a significant amount of strength it is more about finesse. However, while learning a trick a rider uses muscle to overcome insufficiencies in his or her skill set. Somewhere along a riders trip to a new trick a balance point is reached where muscles and skills work together to allow the rider to land “that trick” for the first time. Hey…..it’s just a theory. Anyway, we were bored so we threw on some Coors Light shorts and hit the gym. Here are our tips. Oh and consult a doctor before starting any workout, we are not professionals, follow these tips at your own risk.
