For those looking to get an awesome workout while also enjoying the open water, one of the top options to try is called stand-up paddle boarding. When looking at options for stand up paddleboards, or SUPs, they come in all shapes and sizes. There are  inflatable SUPs, solid or traditional paddleboards, and SUPs designed for children or beginners. One of the advantages of an inflatable paddleboard is that it can also provide people with an exceptional workout. There are a few top stand-up paddleboarding workouts that everyone should try! Yoga on a Stand-Up Paddleboard One of the top workouts that people can try is  SUP yoga. SUP yoga is a great workout that improves focus, flexibility, strength, and coordination. Numerous yoga variations have been introduced during the past few years, such as cardio yoga and hot yoga. Now, people can add SUP yoga to this list as well. The added challenge of yoga on a stand-up paddleboard is incredibly exciting! Not only do people have to try to hold their pose, but the added challenge of a smaller area on top of moving water is also fun! This will help people increase their core strength while also basking underneath the beautiful glow of the sun. Yoga is known for being a total body workout, being on a SUP forces you to focus further on balance which engages all the little muscles that you might not engage during a typical yoga class.  Kayaking on a Stand-Up Paddleboard Another excellent way for people to get in a workout on an inflatable SUP is to try kayaking. When people think about kayaks, they often envision professionals who are tackling whitewater rapids. This isn’t quite what SUP kayaking is all about; however, people can still take this workout and tailor it to meet their needs!
