I. The Warm-Up (5 Minutes)

2. SUP Squats	15 Reps	Keep eyes on the horizon to maintain balance.
3. Plank-to-Pike	10 Reps	Move slowly. Don't let the board's nose dive.
4. Reverse Row	20 Strokes	10 per side. Dig deep to pull the water forward.

III. The Cool Down & Recovery (5 Minutes)

• 2 Minutes: Very slow "leisurely" paddling back toward your launch point.

• 90 Seconds: Seated Forward Fold. Sit on the board with legs extended and reach for your toes. Feel the stretch in your hamstrings and lower back.

• 90 Seconds: Child’s Pose. Kneel on the board, sit back on your heels, and stretch your arms forward on the deck. Let the movement of the water relax your muscles.

Pro-Tips for Success:

• The Sweet Spot: Always stand with your feet straddling the carry handle. This is the most stable point of the board.

• Wind Factor: If it’s windy, do your "Power Paddling" into the wind first so the return trip is easier when you're tired.

• Hydrate: Keep your water bottle under the bungee cords at the front of your board. Take a sip during your 60-second rest.
