| - Since losing weight, I've been obsessed with getting a tight, lean and sculpted physique like a surfer or a yogi. I've always admired swimmers bodies, so I've been doing a lot of tightening exercises. Now, first of all, I've always been an adventurous person. The first of my friends to try something new, to travel by myself to strange places and even take on 30-day challenges. Surfing, the ultimate rush-inducer, seemed like a natural next challenge for me, but I am not a good swimmer. Plus I live in Phoenix, the land of lithe, spandex-clad spinning addicts--no surf boys here. I know...I know...excuses....excuses! I can go to Hawaii with my flight benefits, and I can always learn how to swim. However, getting on a plane just to learn how to surf seems like more work for me.
So when I saw the Groupon for SurfSet, a new indoor surfing class for landlubber Phoenicians, I jumped at the chance to try it. All I can say is I'm not disappointed.
The exercises that weave in Yoga and Pilates along with surf moves work on your core to give you that lean, flat stomach. It's also great for muscle building and balance. I was sweating like crazy, and my arms were sore! I loved it, but don't expect this place to be a huge gym because it's not. It's a small studio, but with great instructors. That's a great thing! The classes are more intimate. Another positive: You can buy Shakeology here! My protein shake of choice! :)
