Combining Waist Training and Stand-Up Paddle Boarding

If you're looking for a fun exercise this summer that engages and strengthens your core, you should give paddle boarding a try. If you've never tried paddle boarding before, you may be surprised to find it challenging. Not only does it require significant balance, but you also need to have a strong core, legs, back, shoulders, arms, and even feet muscles. 

As a challenging and intense workout, you may find paddle boarding difficult the first time you try it. However, it's well worth practicing and perfecting. Once you get the hang of it, you'll find that it's great exercise for a sunny day at the lake or beach. 

Though paddle boarding for the afternoon is likely to produce a "good" soreness, there are ways to increase the intensity and health benefits of such a workout. Paddle boarding combined with waist trainers is an excellent way to work up a sweat and engage your core. We'll explain more about the combined physical benefits of waist training outdoors during a paddle board session. Plus, we'll dive deeper into other water-based activities you can do while wearing a waist trainer. 

What Are the Health Benefits of Paddle Boarding?

Paddle boarding has a lot of physical health benefits. Besides being an enjoyable activity for a day spent at the water, you'll find that it is very physically demanding. Despite looking simple and easy to do, paddle boarding actually requires a lot of different muscles to maintain balance on the board. 

If you're just starting out with this activity, you'll likely begin on your knees. From this position, you'll still use your core, shoulder, arm, and back muscles. Another optional position is lying down, which will mainly use your triceps and biceps.

Once you feel comfortable standing on the paddle board, you'll also start using the small muscles in your feet as well as your leg muscles. You may not think about the muscles in your feet, but when you grip the board tightly, you're using a lot of muscles not normally used in your daily life. 

Additionally, once you start standing up on the paddle board, you'll find that your core is constantly engaged to keep you stable and balanced on the board. While you should definitely participate in other core strengthening outside of paddle boarding, you'll find that this activity is one of the best ways to build muscle. However, you should be prepared to fall into the water as you get the hang of it. It's important to remember that paddle boarding is a challenging activity, so you might have trouble staying on the board at first. 

How Can Waist Training Maximize the Physical Benefits of Paddle Boarding?

Waist training outdoors can be combined with a variety of physical activities, including water-based ones. A waist trainer works by using high-compression materials and flexible boning to support your core during exercise. There are also a few benefits to waist training on its own. If you're looking to lose weight, intensify your sweat session, or shape your midsection, you'll appreciate the results that wearing a waist trainer can bring to your fitness goals. When combined with a core-focused workout like stand-up paddle boarding, you'll enjoy a lot of physical benefits.

Waist Trainers Offer Support

Waist trainers offer support to your core and back muscles that are used during stand-up paddle boarding. The waist trainer is made out of flexible boning that provides support but enough flexibility to perform a variety of physical activities. Additionally, the tight compression of the material also provides support so you can have better balance and stability while standing on your board.

Waist Trainers Improve Posture

Another benefit of wearing waist trainers is that they improve your posture. Due to their supportive construction, you'll find it much easier to stand up straight. For stand-up paddle boarding, having the correct posture is essential to performing this activity as poor posture may affect your balance.

Waist Trainers Can Intensify the Physical Exertion

If you're looking for ways to step up the intensity of your exercises without putting in more time and effort, you should consider wearing a waist trainer during your activities. The sweat-inducing materials of the waist trainer help to make your workout more intense. For a more intense stand-up paddle boarding session, wearing one of the waist trainers from our sweat collection could help you see more results from your workout.

What Safety Tips Should You Follow While Paddle Boarding?

There are a few safety tips to remember when wearing a waist trainer while stand-up paddle boarding. Some of the most important tips include dressing for the weather and wearing a personal flotation device. Even if you have a lot of experience with paddle boarding, you should always be prepared to fall into the water. 

Waist trainers are made with materials designed to get your midsection sweating. However, you should take care to dress appropriately for the weather. Fortunately, waist trainers work great on their own or underneath layers of clothing. So, whether you plan to do some paddle boarding in warm or cold weather, a waist trainer can work with either option.

What Are Other Fun Water Activities You Might Try With a Waist Trainer?

Stand-up paddle boarding is a fun and physically intense activity for a day at the beach. If you're planning on spending the day outside by the water, you may want to consider other activities for waist training outdoors. Kayaking and swimming are a couple of activities that could be combined with waist training for maximum physical benefits. 

Kayaking is a fun activity for cooler days at the beach. It works your arm, back, shoulder, and core muscles. While you're sitting in the kayak navigating the water, you'll appreciate the support that a waist trainer can provide to your back and core. It can also help with posture, as sitting in the kayak for long periods of time may cause slouching. 

If the weather's warm and sunny, you might want to consider cooling off with a swim in the water. Swimming is a great full-body exercise that works a lot of different muscles. However, some of the most common include core, shoulder, and back muscles. A waist trainer can help you keep in proper form by supporting your back and midsection. So, if you want to jump from paddle boarding to a quick swim, a waist trainer may be beneficial for both activities.

Stand-up paddle boarding is a challenging activity that a lot of people enjoy doing. Though it may take a while to get the hang of it and build up your core muscles, it's also a fun activity for a day spent on the water. Waist trainers can help you while stand-up paddle boarding, as they provide support to your back and core muscles. This support can lead to better posture, form, and overall balance on the board. The trainers from our hybrid and sweat collections are perfect for waist training outdoors, as they provide enough support and flexibility for all the fun activities you have planned for your day at the beach.
