Surfing -- without the water

You can take the surfboard out of the water -- but can you take the water out of surfing? With SurfSet Fitness at the Sports Center at Chelsea Piers in New York City, you can hop on a completely dry board for a total body workout. The board is actually a new piece of fitness equipment called the RipSurfer X, which moves to simulate a surfboard in water. There's plenty of cardio to get you sweating, and it takes a lot of concentration and core muscles to stay atop the moving board.

An excuse to buy myself all new workout gear just in time for my 35th birthday!

These look like fun! Ok, some of them look a little scary, and to be honest, I don't really mind my workout feeling like a workout.

Definitely need to start incorporating a wider range of exercises in my daily routine. Right now I just stick to walking & jogging a lot.

I used to have a mini trampoline as a kid. I should have kept it.

looking to buy a trampoline now...can't believe it's such a good workout!

While cleaning the home, I turn the music on and up. Dance and clean. Bend, squat, twist, reach all different kinds of moves. I'm two things done at once, neither feel like work. Makes it fun!

Would love a workout that doesn't feel like working. My question is how likely would that actually happen?

by MissXu Saturday, March 24, 2012 at 01:41PM Report as inappropriate

Most of these I would try in a heart beat. I'll pass on the Elliptigo though. It looks sillier than a segway.

Liked the ideas for changing up the way I exercise

by goodgenes Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 03:29AM Report as inappropriate

what happened to the days as a kid when i couldn't wait for recess or any chance to play outside. Now i can't wait to go to bed. Sigh.

Basically any time you do a physical activity that requires concentration, even minimal, to learn, you're probably getting a decent workout without feeling like you're working out.

some interesting suggestions

I want to do the Kangoo!

Love this! Things we have a lot of the time and don't think to use for a good work out!

Kangaroo fitness looks like great fun! Hopefully some of these goes global and reaches here! :)

That is so great. I love doing jumping exercises. My favorite is the one by Sparkspeople on Youtube, it is only ten minutes, but oh boy does it work you out.
