How do surfers get those amazing bodies?

Question

All cause of surfin?

Answer 1

surfing builds muscle so that's why you see them with abs and plus they are in the sun 24/7 which makes them tan.

Answer 2

Most pros and models you see actually go to a gym.

True surfers have the standard Y shape - an athletic build to their bodies typically found in swimmers and gymnasts.

The bulky upper body is from paddling out. The waistline is slim from carrying the board, paddling, diving, swimming to the surface, etc... It burns a lot of fat. The legs are usually lean because those muscle groups aren't used as much.

Answer 3

they train a lot and believe it or not everything in surfing is great for building muscle (well almost everything) some of it may be from extra working out so that they have more strength for paddling the board and such.

Answer 4

well yes, they push themselves and work those abs and muscles all the time and surfing is a sport and any sport will get you an amazing body if you just stick with it.

Answer 5

ever tried it? man you have got to be strong I am serious. paddling out is BRUITLE and carrying those boards and controlling the board through those waters its just hard. i am sure some people (like me) work out and run to keep in shape for surfing so that it wont be so hard in the water. if you want that body work on your abs and your arms and your stamina and that is about all you will need (emphasizes on arms and stamina) try lifting weights (start with about 10 or 15 pounds) and run for stamina and  sit ups for the abs. It is a lot of work but if you commit to doing it you will have that bod in NO TIME

Answer 6

we're just awesome like that

Answer 7

You definitely have no idea what it takes to stand up on that board let alone to stay on it.

That is why they have those AMAZING bodies!!!

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

surfing is the most funnest thing ever and i love it. but it also is a very strenuois thing.. you paddle for a longgg time (upper body strength), you have to stand up(upper body strength and legs), and then you have to make turns (stomach, upper body, and legs) so there it is :) hahaha hope you get it noow

Answer 10

Surfing is great exercise. In order to get to the best waves you have to swim a long way out.

Answer 11

Byproduct of our passion

Answer 12

they surf all the time and there young, they don't eat they just surf. i love it .. i wish i could do it but i don't think my fat butt would float on a surfing board haha

the question should be " how can i get one of those surfing bodies? " do i have to fish for them? haha

Answer 13

Paddling, and duck diving under waves

Answer 14

Yep most surfers don't need the gym as if you have ever tried surfing you will know that nothing else makes you work as hard as surfing, especially if the surf is big. Mother nature throws you around like a rag doll if you don't respect her.
