		<description><![CDATA[We are so fortunate to have Chef Craig King here on Maui. He has created a movement from farm-to-table fine dining around the world. As a chef to the stars, I'm honored to know such a down to earth person who can't help to share his love of healthy food. He is now on Maui's N. shore preparing healthy delights at the Lumeria Maui Property. Learn and "glow" from his amazing cleanse. Shed weight and feel energized.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Maui, Hawaii  January 12, 2012<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4342" title="Chef Craig King" src="http://www.suzietrainsmaui.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Chef-Craig-King-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve had the sincere pleasure of meeting and getting to know Chef Craig King. As a personal chef to the stars, his knowledge, depth and worldwide reputation on organic gardening, and delicious, healthy food preparation is enjoyed and devoured by thousands. We are lucky to have him here preparing amazing menus, and of course seeing his garden of health literally grow here on the N. shore of Maui at the beautiful property known as Lumeria Maui. Here his known &#8220;farm-to-table&#8221; practice is enjoyed by many guests.</p>

// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Besides seeing him prepare a feast for a special few or a few hundred, his kind ways and natural talents shine through in every bite.  I was overwhelmed with the first samplings one evening and to taste not only the freshness of the buffet he prepared,  but the blend of flavors that exploded from the simplest herbs and green selections were over the top.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Get to know Craig and watch these videos on how you too can eat for energy and I&#8217;m sure he will inspire you to not only grow your own fresh veggies but you&#8217;ll learn so much on how to sustain your own personal energy and vitality. Also scroll down to watch his <a title="Scroll below or click here for video on Chef Craig King's Here We Glow Video!" href="http://youtu.be/p3o4VhvUyLg" target="_blank"><strong>&#8220;Here We Glow&#8221;</strong></a> video of his special cleanse. He is offering workshops on Maui on how you can do a &#8220;healthy&#8221; cleanse that leaves you feeling vibrant and strong. Contact and cleanse info below.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Chef Craig King has been at the forefront of the healthy food revolution for more than 20 years. As the personal chef for some of the biggest names in the natural food business (Steve Demos, White Wave/Silk; John Mackey, Whole Foods; Michael Gilliland/Libby Cook, Wild Oats), as well as some notable Hollywood stars, Craig brings a deep understanding of food and its evolution to the show. He has a keen ability to create food that meets the client’s need in real time–– knowing how to balance what the client wants with what the client needs. He recently created and directed “Here We Grow”, a documentary film highlighting our troubled food system. His latest venture has been helping transform food in various institutional settings, including assisted and senior living centers. The installation of gardens in seven senior community centers helps highlight the beautification of the food transformation and demonstrate the practice of the farm-to-table philosophy. http://craigkingenterprises.com/</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I know each year millions set forth into the New Year to make new years resolutions and start that exercise program, hire a personal trainer or make a long list on how they vow to start out on a healthy path. Well, diets don't work, resolutions have great intentions but lose steam and most people set themselves up to fail. Listen to my show on how to approach the New Year and make lifelong changes that will last forever. Aloha and tune in! Suzie Cooney]]></description>

<p style="text-align: left;">Maui, HI. December 27, 2011 : <strong>Your New Year Approach to Health &amp; Fitness Choices</strong> for 2012 on <strong>Suzie Cooney&#8217;s</strong> Radio Health &amp; Fitness Segment with the Maui Breakfast Club, every Tuesday on Maui&#8217;s KNUI 900AM @ 7:30am.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make a &#8220;lifestyle&#8221; choice for life not  for one month. Reward yourself with a new surfboard, new running shoes, and make a plan and stick to it and see yourself in that lifestyle. Like what you see in the mirror, but love yourself on the inside first. <a class="twitter-share-button" href="https://twitter.com/share" data-count="none" data-via="SuzieTrainsMaui">Tweet</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most News Year&#8217;s resolutions fail because it is not motivating enough. Forget them, get real and get real simple. Reflect back and see forward. Trainers like myself can help you plan and chart realistic, simple changes that before  you know it, it&#8217;s March and you&#8217;re still on track.</p>

Save your waistline and those extra calories that may sneak up on you at the buffet line, pastry cart or holiday dinner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s not easy to pass up a delicious dessert, or that yummy, oh so fat filled glass of eggnog. Don&#8217;t fret, make a plan and practice talking more and scan the buffet table or bar and make a plan NOT to lose it, but enjoy in moderation without regret or extra time on the treadmill.</p>

My top suggestion is to eat something prior to the party that combines protein and fiber to fill you up before you charge to front of the buffet line. Drink lots of water and leave the elastic pants or skirt at home!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 style="text-align: center;">Belly Fat and the Dangers of Visceral Fat Radio Segment with Suzie Cooney</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">of Suzie Trains Maui</h4>
<p><a class="twitter-share-button" href="http://twitter.com/share">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>August 23, 2011Taken from the Maui Breakfast Club: Suzie Cooney of Suzie Trains Maui, Health &amp; Fitness Segment every Tuesday morning at 7:38 am on KNUI 900 AM.  <strong><a title="Clcik to listen to Suzie Cooney's radio segment on the Dangers of Visceral Fat." href="http://suzietrainsmaui.com/radio/visceralfat-110823.mp3" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">LISTEN HERE</span></a></strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4068" title="Provided by USA Today" src="http://www.suzietrainsmaui.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Provided-by-USA-Today.bmp" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just the word visceral sounds bad and that it is. It&#8217;s not pretty and it&#8217;s deadly.  Also referred to as abdominal obesity or the &#8220;middle-age spread&#8221;.  The definition of visceral fat is basically subcutaneous fat that settles deep within the cavity walls of the abdominal area and also covers the abdominal organs. This condition can lead to many health concerns such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol,  hormone imbalances and even cancer.</p>
<p>An excerpt taken from the Harvard Medical School states this:</p>
<p>&#8220;One reason excess visceral fat is so harmful could be its location near the portal vein, which carries blood from the intestinal area to the liver. Substances released by visceral fat, including free fatty acids, enter the portal vein and travel to the liver, where they can influence the production of blood lipids. Visceral fat is directly linked with higher total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol, lower HDL (good) cholesterol, and insulin resistance.</p>
<p>Insulin resistance means that your body’s muscle and liver cells don’t respond adequately to normal levels of insulin, the pancreatic hormone that carries glucose into the body’s cells. Glucose levels in the blood rise, heightening the risk for diabetes.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a title="Read more on how to measure your risk for visceral fat." href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/13/how-does-your-waist-measure-up/" target="_blank">How does your waist measure up? </a>Typical guidelines for men&#8217;s waistline: if  over 40 inches in diameter and for women over 35 inches are indicators that you may be dealing with this condition. Pinching more than an inch can be a concern.</p>
<p>Besides the role of over eating and a poor diet and lack of exercise  that plays in the main contributing factor leading to the accumulation of visceral fat, there may also be hereditary factors that also play a hand. Knowing this may help.</p>
<p>The good news  is there&#8217;s so much you can do to help avoid this condition. Getting your weight under control will help. Portion control and a healthy diet is first. Avoid all sugars and alcohol. (<a title="See my article on Foods to Avoid" href="http://www.suzietrainsmaui.com/blog/2011/08/suzies-foods-to-avoid-and-shes-serious/" target="_blank"><strong> See my article: Suzie&#8217;s Foods to Avoid )</strong></a> Strength training or resistance training will aid in the elimination of visceral fat but most of all it will take some high-intensity cardio to assist in the breakdown of the visceral fat.</p>
<p>Start out with 30 minutes at a moderate intensity than work your way up to a much higher intensity of exercise. ( Always check with your physician first before embarking on a heavier work out regimen.) Remember, spot reducing does not work, this is a total body approach.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoyed the radio segment.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">                 Mental Wellness: Why We Need to Have “Hope” for Our Body’s Health and Our Mind&#8217;s Health Radio Segment with Suzie Cooney</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> As some of you know, I am a huge advocate when it comes to spreading the word of mental health. With the world facing so many challenges, it&#8217; s no wonder why we&#8217;re more stressed, depressed, over eating, under eating, turning to alcohol or drugs or worse yet, some are choosing the sad path of suicide. But, there is one thing that somehow keeps us all going and that is &#8220;hope&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Without it, we wouldn&#8217;t get out of bed, practice our lessons, exercise or help another. Hope helps us conquer the unknown, the uncertainty that faces many of us. Hope is also the mantra used in the world of mental health professionals to encourage all of us to believe that there is a tomorrow that will be better. I believe our President&#8217;s message also includes the word hope.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The word &#8220;hope&#8221; defined by Wikipedia:<a title="Click here to read the entire reference on &quot;hope&quot;" href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope" target="_blank"> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope</a><strong> Hope</strong> is the belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one&#8217;s life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This segment was especially important to me, for I personally manage a loved one, my mother who lives in a world of delusions, hallucinations, and fear, where some of her biggest challenges during a given day is riding the bus and returning home safely. Each day, each hour or each minute can change from function to complete dysfunction. Her disease is schizophrenia and like other brain disorders, it can diminish the feelings of hope and be clouded by thoughts and voices that are not hers.  One thing she holds onto is hope.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a title="Listen to this topic here with Suzie Cooney" href="http://suzietrainsmaui.com/radio/mentalhealth-110816.mp3" target="_blank">( If you missed link above: Listen here )</a>I remember marching on the steps of the capital in Sacramento in 1995 with my mother some years back for a NAMI rally with signs that read, &#8220;Don&#8217;t give up the <strong>hope</strong>&#8220;.  I marched with her and my shoulder sling from some mountain bike accident or something; holding my sign too. Once again the government was cutting funding to a much needed program. But, we were not giving up hope for a positive outcome.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Speaking of positive, the word &#8220;positive&#8221; is another form of shaping a healthy mind and adds to our word hope to help us manage our hope. We&#8217;re always told to remain positive in times a great trouble or large challenges. This is easier said than done when it&#8217;s you that must remain positive. You wonder how it is, why some people are always this way?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve discovered that there is a proven inverse relationship that helps us maintain our physical health when we are able to focus on keeping our mental health fit as there is a relationship to having hope. <a title="A Prospective Study of Hope, Optimism, and Health" href="http://gainhope.com/hope/hopehealth.pdf" target="_blank">A  study performed at the Keen University i</a>n New Hampshire studied the relationship of hope and having an optimistic, positive outlook when dealing with chronic pain. The results revealed that there is a better outcome of managing illness, chronic pain and other physical challenges if one has hope, optimism and a positive outlook.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a health care professional, I try to encourage my clients and those I mentor to look at things in a different manner. One doesn&#8217;t wake up and say, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be positive.&#8221; It takes time to reshape one&#8217;s behaviors and ways of thinking. It&#8217;s a process. Just like losing weight, it takes time if you want to keep it off. It takes effort and a mindful attempt to look at the world, your life, your situation and most importantly,  your health in order to have this thinking stick.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I hope you enjoyed the radio segment. A special thanks to the Maui Breakfast Club and to you for spreading the word of mental health and wellness. It does a body good.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a class="twitter-share-button" href="http://twitter.com/share">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>Taken from the Maui Breakfast Club August 9th, 2011: Suzie Cooney of Suzie Trains Maui, Health &amp; Fitness Segment every Tuesday morning at 7:38 am on KNUI 900 AM. <strong>Listen here</strong>: <a title="Listen  here to my show about how people are shedding weight while they SUP and shred. Aloha!" href="http://suzietrainsmaui.com/radio/shred-110809.mp3" target="_blank">Radio Segment</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Throw away the diet books, thigh blaster or ab roller and if you live near any body of water, hop aboard and paddle to shed unwanted pounds now!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It sounds like an infomercial but I&#8217;m really serious. I&#8217;ve been helping people shed unwanted weight here on Maui and spreading the word for some time now, on how thousands of people are, as I wrote this article for ATHLETA; are literally <a title="Click here to read Suzie's article on how SUP is helping people get into great shape!" href="http://www.athleta.net/chi/2010/08/20/stand-up-and-sweep-your-way-to-better-health/" target="_blank"> &#8220;Sweeping Their Way to Health&#8221;. </a>It&#8217;s really true. I&#8217;m hearing from so many people, besides seeing my clients and others around the world completely transform their bodies; paddling away the fat.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I wanted to share with you a couple nice entries of the many of received on how SUP has literally shaped their lives and bodies. It&#8217;s so inspiring and I hope they inspires you or someone you know who would like to enjoy losing unwanted weight. It is possible and it&#8217;s fun!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2727" title="Lucija Kordic of Alameda SUP" src="http://www.standuppaddlingfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Lucy-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> Here, my dear friend and avid paddler Lucija Kordic, from Alameda, California, braves the chilly waters of the Bay Area and shares, &#8221; My pants fit much differently now and I fit into some of my set-aside size 6 pants. SUP and intervals on the treadmill both make a difference!&#8221; Lucija is now training with me with her new SUP Endurance Program designed to help her improve her paddling strength and endurance for long distance racing. Go Lucy go! See you on Maui soon!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you live in the Bay Area and want to get to know some paddle buddies, Lucija organizes casual paddling groups and is the ultimate host. This I&#8217;ve experienced myself. You can hook up with her group at: <a title="Hook up with new paddling friends in the Bay Area with Lucija! She's awesome!" href="http://Meet.Up.com/East-Bay-SUP" target="_blank">http://Meet.Up.com/East-Bay-SUP</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve received so many emails on how stand up paddling, also known as &#8220;SUP&#8221; is changing people&#8217;s lives and it just so happens that one of the keen health benefits is amazing weight loss. I&#8217;m not just talking loss of pounds, but more like shedding their old <em>ways.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve always encouraged my clients and everyone to find a sport, especially SUP, to enhance their current training as a cross training tool. What happens more times than not, is it becomes an obsession! Wow. Besides having to throw away hard earned money on marriage counselors, maybe a new pair of $80 Spanx, the moderate investment of one or two boards, paddles, leashes and some sunscreen can also result in relationship bonding. SUP is so easy, couples are losing weight together AND getting quality time paddling off into the sunset.</p>
<p id="query_h1" style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve always found that most of my clients and people who write me, have had the light turn on in their lives with SUP. They have found their calling and are so taken with the sport, it consumes every waking hour. Now they have racks on their cars, very cool, hang out at the local SUP shop and talk &#8220;board talk&#8221; or what event they may register in, or simply enjoy the &#8220;healthy&#8221; camaraderie that develops along with wonderful new friendships.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This sport is very contagious and what comes along with is the healthy lifestyle. What a great bonus. As one develops their love for SUP, unknowingly, because your total body is getting a continuous workout; one can easily start to notice remarkable changes in their body. What is commonly noticed first, is one&#8217;s core strength. I&#8217;ve written so many articles about the power of the core for SUP, <a title="Check out all my SUP Fitness articles here, especially written for Naish International. Your core will  unleash you paddling power! " href="http://www.naishsurfing.com/sup-fitness/strong-core/" target="_blank">and how to train your core</a> to get stronger to paddle stronger, it&#8217;s truly the first thing that people always say, &#8220;Wow it really works my core.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In Redding, way North of my hometown, Sacramento, California lives Matt Ivey, very new to SUP and boy does he have the stoke and has he</p>
<div id="attachment_2732" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 281px"><img class="size-large wp-image-2732  " title="Matt Ivey 1" src="http://www.standuppaddlingfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Matt-Ivey-1-820x1024.jpg" alt="" width="271" height="338" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Matt Ivey Looking Great!</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">gotten in great shape! He says he was his wife&#8217;s ginny pig and suggested he do SUP with her while she was pregnant and suggested that he join her too. Read the rest to see how he lost 10 lbs and also learn how SUP helped him manage some pretty serious injuries he had. He&#8217;s got big plans to grow SUP in his life and business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Matt writes:</p>
<p>Suzie,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I just got into SUP about a month ago and I am totally hooked. I have lost about 10 lbs and my core/lower back are feeling the increase in strength. I love is so much my wife and I are adding SUP rentals, ecotours, lessons, and fitness/yoga classes. My wife is 20 weeks pregnant and she is a manager of a gymnastics gym. She has been using the SUP to stay in shape while she is pregnant and has been working on a fitness program. So that means I have been her ginny pig when it comes to testing her exercises on someone. I also like my alone time so every other day I have been paddling upstream on a local river for a hour.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I come from a background of playing sports and lifting heavy weights. Over the past 6 years I have broken and dislocated my left ankle, separated my right shoulder, tore one of the heads of my left bicep, broke my right thumb, and sprained my right mcl. I also have several degenerative disks in my back so needless to say I can no longer play the sports I once loved.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But what that also meant is that I could no longer lift weights in the gym. This lead to me becoming frustrated and out of shape. After relocating to a new town and stumbling on SUP (we had seen it on Maui 3 years ago but were more concerned with surfing) I was instantly hooked.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In fact I even had my wife take a before photo so I have something I can compare it to after I feel like I have reached my goal. I have also been incorporating a slackline into my balance and core training. Between the SUP and Slackline I feel like I have found a great routine that works for me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2735" title="Matt Ivey2" src="http://www.standuppaddlingfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Matt-Ivey2-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" />I could chat all day about SUP and what it has done for me mentally and physically. Both my wife and I have out degrees in Recreation Administration and Business so we are looking forward to putting our education and experience to use helping others share the passion we have for SUP. We have been following you and all that you have done for the SUP industry. Thanks for all of the inspiration and knowledge you share so well.</p>

<p>Thanks so much Lucija and Matt, and to the many others that wrote me and shared their SUP weight loss stories. As SUP grows so does the opportunity for more people to get fit and healthy. I really encourage those new to the sport to take the opportunity and feel and experience what all the buzz is about. As I always say, SUP will change your life.</p>

The line up for 2012 is unreal! We&#8217;ll have up to 31 boards like last year and the lines, designs and graphics are killer. I&#8217;m so stoked for the winter, monster swells and for some exciting Maliko runs. Check out the current line up here:</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>“Surf Survival”</strong></h3>

</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The surfer’s health handbook</strong></p>
<p><strong>Skyhorse Publishing, Inc. NY, NY</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Synopsis</span></strong></p>
<p>Written by 3 hardcore surf docs, this book gives surfers the complete lowdown on surfing related medical problems; how to diagnose them, how to treat them, and how to prevent them.  With chapters devoted to first aid, fitness, dangerous marine animals, big wave surfing, overuse injuries, surf travel medicine and more, <em>Surf Survival</em> is a book no surfer should be without.  Surprisingly entertaining, and very comprehensive, over 300 pages of text and 200 illustrations and photographs describe in practical terms how to deal with the myriad of injuries and ailments that can afflict surfers.  From shoulder dislocations to surfer’s ear, fin cuts to first aid kits, this book is written for surfers who know that self-sufficiency is the name of the game. Don’t leave home without it.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reviews</span></strong></p>
<p>“This thorough, authoritative and oddly enjoyable book tells you not only how to treat surfing&#8217;s myriad ailments, but also how to prevent them. For that reason alone, it might be the most important piece of surf literature you ever buy. All that,plus lots of photos of gnarly injuries.”</p>
<p><strong>- Steve Hawk, former editor of Surfer magazine</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Nobody has thought more, studied more, or cared more about the lifelong health and survival of surfers than Mark Renneker. Surf Survival brings together all that priceless knowledge, along with invaluable contributions from Nathanson and Everline, to make a must-have volume for every surfer everywhere. From surf-specific wilderness first aid&#8211;critical on any serious surf trip, anywhere on earth&#8211;to big-wave safety and even the very real scourge of surfer&#8217;s ear, it&#8217;s all here. Don&#8217;t even think about it: if surfing plays any role in your life, you need this book.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>-Daniel Duane, author of Caught Inside, A Surfer&#8217;s Year on the California Coast</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve read over 100 surfing-related books, but Surf Survival is the first one that I&#8217;ll carry with me on every surf trip. &#8221;</p>
<p><strong>-Drew Sievers, The Waterman&#8217;s Library</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Good medicine, and a fun read in the bargain. Read this book and surf until<br />
you’re 100.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-3872"></span>-Matt Warshaw, author of the History of Surfing</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Great book by great doctors. Doc Renneker is a Balls-to-da-Wall big wave surfer, too. What a great combo: smart and hard-core surfers who care deeply about people and their health!&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[As a pro team SUP rider for Naish International and fan of the TRX Rip Trainer, I've combined here the basics of core training to anyone but specifically for SUP or stand up paddling. The exercises here do require one to already have some experience knowing how to activate and engage the core. These are excellent and challenging. SUP can require explosive paddling at times. Hope you enjoy! Suzie Cooney, CPT of Suzie Trains Maui]]></description>

<td>( All Rights Reserved 2011)Want to explode your paddling core strength? You got it. These exercises require that you understand how to engage your core muscles both before and during the entire set. <em>You</em> become the stabilizing factor as you perform these movements. Also, I’d like you to pay close attention to the tubing or TRX Rip Trainer cord so that it is always taut and under tension throughout the entire series. I call this “time under tension”. If you “let go” of this concept, or your core, you won’t benefit fully from this workout.<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2409" title="Dynamic Core Suzie Cooney @ All Rights Reserved" src="http://www.standuppaddlingfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Dynamic_Core_main-300x179.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="179" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Training Note:</em></strong> <em>It’s your choice if you wear shoes or not, or if you train on an unstable surface such as the beach (which is more challenging). I try to train barefoot so that I can mimic the feel of the board. If working with weights, be careful not to drop them on your feet! Everyone’s training needs and experience will vary, so the number of sets/reps you perform is up to you. Typically, if you are just starting out, try 1-3 sets with 10-12 reps each, making sure you are always in perfect form. </em></p>

<td>In this photo, I’m using the new <a href="http://www.trxtraining.com/category/RIP" target="_blank">TRX Rip Trainer</a> with the heavier cord.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Starting with your feet solidly on the ground about shoulder width apart, pointed straight ahead and with good posture, tie the cord to a secure object (Dave’s truck worked great!). Holding the TRX bar at shoulder width and just below the top of your shoulders, begin to engage your core by drawing in your abs and hold while making sure to breathe. Remember, safety loop! Don’t death grip the bar, but start far enough away from post with enough tension that will require you to stabilize the bar and your body. Rotate your body to the right while core engaged, then slowly return just before your start position (critical) and repeat.</p>

<td style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Progression 2:</strong> Secure a light, medium, or heavy gauge tubing to your secure object and perform the same movement as above, however, this time you’ll need to steady the tubing with your left arm locked. Gently clasp the tube with one hand, but do not grip too heavily. Place a bit of tension on the tube and begin the rotation. Remember “time under tension”. To increase challenge, step further out or hop on your BOSU or other unstable platform.To read the rest of my article and to see all my SUP Fitness Tips go to: <a href="http://www.naishsurfing.com/sup-fitness/dynamic-core/">http://www.naishsurfing.com/sup-fitness/dynamic-core/</a>While visiting Maui, Suzie is available for private ftness training and <a title="Contact Suzie for SUPlessons while visiting Maui!
