Don't be afraid to fall. Part of the workout is getting back up during this strength-and-aerobic workout conducted on stand-up paddleboards.
As the board surges a few inches forward and backward with each left-right scoop, a realization soon sets in: My shoulders are burning. ItThen the music changes to song No. 2. Just a few minutes into Aqua Stand Up, the moment of truth is upon us.There’s no ocean here, not a wave in sight, but pressing up to your feet on a rocking, tippy surface for the first time is intimidating. Vandendriessche barks the step-by-step instructions: Do a push-up. Lower your hips. Press up to your feet.
But it gets better. To build on our new ability, Vandendriessche orders us to do squats, to “rock the boat,” to make waves.And that’s how the workout progressed. A baby step to a bigger step. Every three minutes, we’re doing something that would have seemed impossible three minutes before. Paddleboarding is a great all-body workout — hitting the triceps, chest, legs, core. For first-time paddleboarders, whether out in nature or here in the class, the feeling of mastering a highly coordinated new skill, which this is, is a deeply satisfying thrill.
Paddles are at the ready in this class: Even if you've been on a paddleboard in the ocean, it's a different experience indoors.As the sense of achievement built through the music-themed phases of the Aqua Stand Up, so did the muscle fatigue. Just as with the simple lying-down crawl stoke that started the workout, every very-doable movement progressed from “This is sorta easy” to “When is this going to end?” to “Oh, my God — I’m going to blow!” as the minutes ticked by.
