Sun, Sand and Surf

Today was my first "Sun Mum" class at Surf Dubai. This is exactly my kind of work out! I loved it. If you are looking for a fun work out, with a challenging experience while working on your tan, here you go, don't look any further.

"Sun Mum" is a 4 weeks programme (1 hour session per week), based on a combo of "surf yoga" and stand up paddle. This unique workout will get you fit! It promotes balance and strength with a focus on core muscle.

At 8.30, a group of ten mummies gathered together at Sunset Beach, Umm Suqeim ready to experience the "surfer life style". We started with quick warm up, followed by some invigorating yoga moves based on surf technique with the beautiful beach as a back drop. Then after some  instructions and directions from the instructors we got to the water with our gear... A board and a paddle. The paddle board is like an enlarged regular surfboard (making it is much easier to stand up on) and using the paddle you propel yourself across the surface of the water. Not easy at first, it quickly become a very enjoyable work out experience. 

We all finished off the session around coffee, a healthy bowl muesli and a good laugh. Thank you Scott and Dani for making our Monday mornings so bright and healthy.
