The popularity of surfing worldwide is only growing, but this sport is available not to many, so the last years has become relevant another direction - SUP or STAND UP PADDLE, which is literally translated "Become with a paddle". The emergence of a new sport is associated with windless weather with a full calm. Back in 200, American Rick Thomas suggested SUP as an additional type of training in order to master the surfing.
And already after 15 years later, not only surfrs, and supporters of fitness were interested in the new direction. SUP turned into one of the direction of training on the water. For the convenience of athletes, the surfboard had to be somewhat modernized. As a result, it turned out a raft of reduced sizes and a slightly different form.
SUP in Russia
SUP in our country has become famous recently. Yes, and hardly fitness clubs offer this type of training under the original name. In the training program, the training will be indicated as "raft on water", but the name of the fitness does not change, as the effectiveness of exercises does not change.
The training program is designed for classes, both on land and on the water. Work on land seems simpler in comparison with classes on the raft. The secret is that the surface on the water is unstable. You can compare such training with work on the hemisphere. Thanks to this approach to training, many hidden body muscles are included in the work, which remain not involved when working on a stable surface. In addition, plant classes helps to keep the balance and contributes to the preservation of the balance.
Aquaplot is used for functional training and swimmers that receive additional loads by performing exercises on an unstable surface.
You can engage in a water raft can people at any age. There are no restrictions as such. The coach stipulate among the limitations only the weight that should not exceed 120 kg - it is so much able to withstand a small raft.
Type and safety of the training fleet
Aqua-raft is characterized by compactness. Its length is 2.2 meters, and the design width is 0.80 meters. The raft is pumped with air, thanks to which he takes a special rectangular shape.
The idea of \u200b\u200btraining is that the raft is on the water, and already a person performs certain exercises into the raft. The trick is only that if you simply put an inflatable raft on the water surface in the pool, it will easily move. Therefore, fitness clubs who today offer fitness classes on the rafts have special fixation systems in basins, allow you to securely fasten the inflatable raft in the pool. He will still remain an unstable surface, but it will not be able to move freely throughout the basin space.
Another plus aqua of the flesh is that it has a special non-slip coating. It was specially designed for the convenience of workouts in the pool.
Today, training under the name "Aqua-raft" is not yet too common in our country. This type of training only begins its march in the fitness environment. But the first steps became quite successful, and many people became interested in the new direction. Many celebrate excellent results - the body is trained, the muscles are tightened, the coordination of movements and the ability to keep the equilibrium is improved. At the same time, the mood is rising and has a person for a whole day. big reserve Energy for active work. An additional bonus is a refreshing and relaxing effect of water in which they are recommended to plunge into all participants in the Aqua raft program at the end of the training.
Swimming and aquaaerobics are already tired? We have something more interesting for you. Today we will tell what type of training will improve coordination, strengthen the muscles and raise the mood. And after all, you probably did not even know about it.
What is aquaflat.
Aquaflat is an inflatable raft that is made of high-strength synthetic tissue. The outer surface of the fleet does not slide - you can not worry that you slip and fall. Thanks to the rings, the equipment is attached to the sides of the pool or between the tracks - this fixation allows you to safely take any poses and make a variety of exercises, up to dynamic planks and jumps. Although this raft looks outwardly and looks like sup-sirf, but in fact it is much wider. This allows you to train in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere - you will not constantly worry about what is about to fall into the water. In addition, Aquaflat is made of soft materials, and SUP is a hard board, so with possible drops from the root you will not get injury.
Aquaflat I. special complex exercises came up with and developed a team of Russian educational Center In the field of FitPro fitness. Creator of the Master Coach of the Center - Alex Chernenko.

How is one occupation
One lesson on average lasts about 30-40 minutes. At first, as it should be, there is a light warm-up, then the main part of the workout, at the end - stretching. The main part is a complex of familiar exercises: a plank, lunges, squats, fold, twisting, push-ups and others. Similar exercises, of course, can be performed on a fixed surface, but it lies main feature This training session. During the execution of such movements are included in the work deep muscles - Stabilizers that pump in the usual simulator is very and very difficult. Unstable raft instantly activates them.

What sensations
Let's say honestly: it will be difficult at the first lesson. It will be difficult for you to do exercises, but just calmly stand on this raft. And if you have poorly developed coordination and balance, this training will turn into a real challenge. But it is worth it. Classes on Aquaflat not only well strengthen muscles (Believe me, you will feel them throughout the exercises), but also raise the mood. That is, you do not perceive this training as something serious, unpleasant or deliberate - half an hour fly as one moment, and at the end you are the happiest person. Endorphins are not less generated than when. And at that moment, when the coach notes that you give up and work not in full force, he begins to spray you with water - a rather powerful incentive, I must say.
You shouldn't worry about security - even if you fall into the water, nothing terrible will happen. Maximum what happens - you fully promo. First, the high depth of the pool will not allow you to knock on his bottom. Secondly, you fall with too little height, so it will not work hard to hit the surface of the water either. As for clothing, there is no special equipment here. For girls, there will be enough sports scaffold / swimsuit and short / legins so that you do not think about outsiders and focused only in training. Men can take sports swimming pools or shorts.
There are discoveries that make the usual sports life a thousand times brighter and more interesting. After the first, even sophisticated fitness, young people and girls leave the pool with burning eyes and smiles - new emotions, new sensations, a real splash of adrenaline and endorphins!

The invention is Aquaflat - the real pride of the Russian fitness. Design invented Alex Chernenko, Master of Sports on Athletics and Coach with 15-year experience. Aquaflat is produced in Russia using European materials. This is an inflatable raft from high strength synthetic fabric, covered on both sides of PVC. On the working surface - soft material so that the rafts do not slip down to workout. On the sides - metal rings that fix the raft on the water or in the sides of the pool. Aquaflat is quite lightweight and therefore mobile.
Secret Aquaflat.
"Training on the raft is the most powerful charge of the whole organism. This is the maximum inclusion of muscle stabilizers, "explains Alexey Muntean. Literally everything in your body begins to work, from the top of the foot. As a result, you begin to look at your body in a new way, to feel yourself in a different way. Functional, strength, stretching - Aquaflat is suitable for everything. The only question is what exactly do you want to get from classes" During training, you can use both familiar, standard equipment, such as rubber expander. And it is possible an innovative, such as, for example, on Tverskaya, southwestern, in Metropolis and weapons.
Safe, effectively and fun
"Training on Aquaflat is very cool help to reduce the risk of injuries (during classes there is a competent burden on bundles, hip and knee joints," explains Alexey. "For example, such classes are greatly suitable for triathletes or marathons as summarizing training. During long-term cycling ride. The chest department is in constant voltage (this applies to, for example, both chest kyphosis in office employees who have been carried out at the computer for a long time). Using medical terminology, workouts on the raft help stretch the vertebral pole. In addition, if you are preparing to start the triathlon or any other tournamentSuch classes help distract and change activity, which is also important.
Aquaflat's special chip is an incredible, live mood! For example, during group training Your mentor can put the task as possible to splash the neighbors to the right and left and at the same time to resist. At first, some people fear fall, but as soon as they turn out in the water, they understand that it is not scary, there are no bruises, but there is a real charge of positive emotions. Such training is always very cool! For us, for both coaches, great joy to see the happy eyes of people, not only their slender and healthy bodies. "
To each his own
Indeed, no matter how effective exercises, we always want to receive pleasant emotions. Yulia Kaisionova is divided by its coaching experience: "Aquaflat diving gives a powerful positive charge and have a good mood! And this is especially important for girls. In training girls I really like that we develop balance, grace and flexibility. During classes, deep muscles of the back, legs and press work. The posture is improved, the muscles of the legs are pulled. All this makes the figure very pretty, which simply can not but rejoice. Exercises for flexibility on such an unstable surface, like a raft, become more efficient.
After training, the girls become so flexible and plastic! We even joke that after aquaflat and on heels to walk easier. You do not need to be afraid of difficulties. Training is compiled for any level of preparedness. They will cope with her both newcomers in fitness and hardcore lovers! AQUAFLAT I recommend 1-2 times a week. This is an excellent addition to the common training process. "
The benefits of workouts for men are very powerful. "A young man is restored faster after active loads and it becomes rustier- explains Alexey Muntean. - Externally, the effect of training is expressed in the shape of a triangle with many men: wide shoulders, tightened corner, beautiful torso.
I support Julia: such workouts are suitable as fitness monsters with rich experience (they will bring new sensations in the usual rhythm) and novice fitness. They, of course, will be more complicated, but it is interesting. And the level of emotions, equally high, will get even equally! ".
