Cross Training For SUP

By Casi Rynkowski (Sup Magazine, May 31st, 2016)

Casi Rynkowski is a go-getter. She’s an outdoor fitness specialist, certified personal trainer, ACA Level 2 SUP instructor, expedition paddler, SUP surfer and a mother of three. “Cross-training is key to increasing performance on the water,” she says. “The great outdoors can be your training ground with big benefits you can’t find inside the gym—both physically and mentally. Taking a break from your main sport of choice can also help prevent burnout and keep your passion alive.”

Here, Rynkowski gives us her personal smorgasbord of SUP-supporting activities.
