Challenge #2 to take on : Try a SUP fitness class

This medium-intensity class gives you a total-body workout that combines cardio and strength elements. Come test your strength, endurance, and balance! If you want to start with the basics, there are also “intro to SUP” classes available.
And if you’re looking for something a little more active, but less intense, try SUP yoga. You can pay for individual classes or prepay for a set number of hours, which you can then share with friends.
