Women and upper body strength

Women and upper body strength Recently, I started surfing, and I must say that I like! Surf Divas in La Jolla, which specializes in teaching women and girls surfing, and they do an excellent job with him, despite having a good time. One thing I noticed, however, is that many students lacked the upper body strength.The sport of surfing requires you to paddle in waves coming in the opposite direction to reach the outside area beyond the break. It requires upper body strength in the shoulders, chest and upper back regions. While most of the girls can perform the maneuver, the task could be facilitated through the practice of this sport and others require the strength of the upper body, making a simple resistance exercises.The deltoids, or shoulders, are the main groups muscle during cooking to paddling, so that the top of the shoulder press is an excellent exercise to be done to increase the strength in this area. You can use dumbbells or a Barbell, starting with a set of 12 repetitions and gradually increase to 2, then come back as 3 years of progress. It is advisable to choose a weight challenging enough that will allow you to more than 12 repetitions or the weight is probably not very heavy enough.Another exercise is the chest and press the slope of the chest press to focus on secondary muscle groups involved in the surf. I suggest you start with dumbbells for these exercises, once again running a series of 12 repetitions to start, then increase gradually. The bench press is performed on a flat bench, preferably, but you can replace the word if you do not have a bench. This exercise works the chest, otherwise known as the pectoral muscles. The inclination of the press must be performed on a bench at an angle not exceeding 45 degrees, and works the upper part of the pectoral muscles.   Of course, I suggest you perform an exercise for each major muscle groups of the body of a generally well balanced, the resistance program.A too many women are affected by the exercise of their lower bodies, and all that is important, it can not be neglect your upper body. So, do not be afraid to lift weights, girls. Another selling point of the upper body strength training is that the construction from the top of the shoulders and back, it gives the appearance of a small region of the femur. This may just be enough to convince many of you to try! Thus, for all that the women, I strongly suggest you try to navigate. E 'difficile, an excellent form of exercise and, above all, fun!
