If i could throwsome pointers out there. I have a degree in kinesiology and am now becoming an athletic trainer/therapist, so i'm not some quack. For wakeboarding i sugest lots of core exercises. Strong core equals good control in the air. Also look into plyometrics. Most wakeboard moves require power and speed. Plyometrics will really help improve those area's. Start small and build up. Try incorporate sport specific exercises into you work out 1-2 times per week. You also want to work on your total body flexability, the less restricted you are the less strains you will get. If your body is use to going through it's full range your muscles won't freak out when you get stretched out. Most strains are caused by a forcefull contraction. My suggestion, do a flexability routine 4 days per week at the end of your workout. Still warm up before hand though. As for aerobic and muscle training do that 2-4 times per week and for plyometrics do them two days a week. That gives you 4-6 days of activity each week that will improve your over all fitness. You can also alternate plans every two weeks. So 2 weeks of aerobic fitness and then two weeks of plyometrics. The one thing with plyometrics is that each set you start you should always start small and move up to bigger stuff. the key is to be always changing you plans, you change your plans you muscles will always have to adapt, you will never platue. I personally do mon(upper body and light cardio), tues(lower body and light cardio), wed (extended cardio day followed by extended flexability), thur(off), fri(plyometrics focusing on core), sat(plyometrics, sport specific), sun (off) and every day i work out i do a flexability routine. Hope this helps. One thing to always remember, do all exercise in a controlled manor, with good form, if you can't do it with good form then your not ready to do it. |

I would go the Yoga/Pilates route as well and if you can swing some Balllet Barre workouts if you can find them in your area, the are GReAT! they work out muscles you never knew you HAD, especially in connecting the back of the legs to the lower and mid back. Aside from the weighloss benefits of cardio, I think that is the best.

Wow, I went wakeboarding last weekend for the first time in perhaps 6 months, holy crap are my muscles sore! they felt weak while boarding too! I just printed out the weight work out from wakeworld, and cant wait to start that! Never thought about lifting weights for wakeboarding, but now I am convinced! |
