Stand Up Paddleboarding & SUP Fit with Jo

Full Body Workout 

Unlike many other sports, SUP works the entire body, engaging all major muscle groups and building cardiovascular fitness. The muscles in your legs are working hard to keep your feet firmly on the board, your core is engaged to keep you centred and balanced, whilst your upper body is put to work to propel you through the water. 

 

Coordination and Balance

Paddleboarding is great for coordination and balance because it requires constant adjustment on an unstable surface, engaging your core, legs, and stabilising muscles. It improves proprioception (your body’s sense of position), strengthens the mind-body connection, and enhances full-body coordination as you paddle and balance simultaneously. These benefits translate directly to everyday activities, making paddleboarding a highly effective, low-impact way to improve functional movement and overall stability.   

 

Blue Mind

Being in, on or near water positively impacts our emotional and physical well-being and enhances mental clarity. Paddleboarding uniquely taps into this by combining physical movement with immersion in natural, aquatic environments. As we glide over the ocean or float gently in a pool, the sensory experience sooths the mind and reduces stress.  

 

Fun and Sociable 

SUP combines physical exercise with the freedom of being out on the water, all while being easy to learn and enjoyable for all ages. It offers a unique way to explore our river and coastline, often leading to shared moments of laughter and adventure with friends old and new. Whether you’re gliding peacefully side by side, challenging yourself with a race or tour, or building strength in a SUP Fit class, paddleboarding encourages connection and inclusion.
