Spring is almost here! If you live in the northeast, this is hard to believe but it's almost time to dust off those spring wetsuits. With that in mind, I'd like to build on last week's theme for tip of the week –   
off-season exercise! 

Putting in work in the off-season can really maximize your ability to improve and enjoy your time when you hit the surf.

Last week, I talked about the importance of paddling endurance. This week I'd like to focus on core training. Core training should be a big part of your work out as it helps overall performance, balance, and will prevent against injury.

There are many exercises to help with core training, below are a couple we have highligted for you.

- [Indo Press Up](http://www.surfing-waves.com/surf-fitness/indo-press-up.htm)
- [Cable Pushing and Pulls](http://www.surfing-waves.com/surf-fitness/cable-pushing-pulls.htm)
