One armed rows are super valuable for kiteboarding! That was badass!

Cheers! I agree, very helpful with kite. 🤟🏻 - Rygo

Cool vid thx 😎🤙 Very cool to remind us of unhooked wave riding 😎 For the calisthenics, solid pistol squat, for the push-up make sure you engage your core more. Tuck hips, so hips and chest move in a straight line, not chest first and hips follow. And make sure to touch floor/ground/bar with chest or it's a no rep. Full range of motion is important to progress to harder exercises in calisthenics. For the one arm row make sure your shoulders stay square to the ground, so not rotating it upwards. Chest touches the bar not the shoulder. For dips go deeper. Best to try to dip shoulders to bar-level to get full range of motion. Very important if you want to progress to muscle-ups. Best to do dips in rings for added instability and practice the RTO (ring turn out) dip and RTO support hold 😉

Hi would be great to have.some kiting specific fitness routines

[@gobrandsprint]

I am posting regular kite specific routines on instagram. Search for now_either_or

Well said..

[@galactock]

Good input and advice. I've been doing modified planks, core breathing, and yoga for exercise. I remodel and build to make money some I'm fairly active anyway. I didn't know kiting was a hobby, lifestyle, and a sport. I'm convinced it's pure magic n heaven on earth~

[@Andreas_K_]

So true.

[@mendelkorf4767]

Would love to know if there are any specific movements or stretches that are valuable to kiteboarding that wont be on a normal fitness regiment? also how would you recommend combining it with kiteboarding? stick with my 6 days a week? or go lighter on days with wind or when theres wind the next day? been experimenting myself but i dont think i've found the best balance yet.

[@MACkiteboarding]

I find that it always comes back to the fundamentals. Simple compound lifts or calisthenics. I do a push day a pull day a leg day a rest day and repeat. Wow! 6 days a week Sounds like a lot of volume with no time to recover. Especially if you’re riding! Maybe a three day full body would be better for you? I’ve read for sports it’s best to find moves that are similar to your sport. For kite I find horizontal rows, pull ups, dips and squats to be the most functional. I also like to stay explosive so box jumps etc. leg raises for abs also help. I imagine some rotational power would be good too. As for balance, I’m still trying to find that. Haha - Rygo

[@mendelkorf4767]

@@MACkiteboarding Thanks for the answer, already doing most of the above except the horizontal rows, going to incorporate them, and what do you mean by rotational power? Also last year i kept having overuse injuries so i decided to try a few months of only working out on no wind days, going well but makes me feel lazy when that happens, also been trying going lighter on the day before we have wind coming in.

[@MACkiteboarding]

By rotation I mean core. If you have wind that often I’d put energy into kiting! That’s a workout in itself! Maybe dial back the working out or try more sets and less reps. Never go to failure. Before I moved into an RV I took up power lifting. The 5 reps by 5 sets seemed crazy but it gave me time to recover and I was adding weight every lift while riding cable 3 hours a day. Check out strong lifts. The whole concept of less is more really works. - Rygo

[@mendelkorf4767]

@@MACkiteboarding thank you so much, we dont have wind that often, hence the working out every day, will check out strong lifts, i might be guilty of going to failure often. thanks again for your content and your help.

But but... I love rigging my 14m and just putting my ass down in my seat harness and just not using my quads at all. What do you mean I shouldn't use my electric pump?
