So far this off season, I have spent a lot of time in the gym lifting weights and running. I have actually probably spent more time working out than actually time on the water. Part of that goes back to me being a wuss with cold water :), but more than that I feel like it benefits me so much to be in great shape and strong before I head out into the flats.
Working out and being strong can prevent so many injuries that occur in wakeboarding (back, shoulder, and knee injuries) and these injuries can happen even to the novice rider. Be prepared, there is still time before summer gets here to start lifting weights, doing lunges, and getting those abs rock solid.
