WHITTLES THE WAIST
“Stand-up paddleboarding is a killer full-body workout,” cheers Okafor. “You’re using muscles in your upper body, your core and your legs to move the board forward.” Indeed, paddling your way across the bay or lake will torch up to 300 calories an hour, plus tone the obliques (muscles that cinch in the waist) and the
transverse abdominis (muscles that tuck in lower-belly bulge) to carve out an hourglass silhouette.
TO TONE EVEN FASTER: Keep a slight bend in your knees as you paddle. This will improve stability and work your hip flexors and quads to eliminate saddlebags.
