Wakeboarding

Wear a life vest and helmet, and check that the bindings fit well. Check the water conditions and agree on hand signals with the boat driver.

Start in the water with your knees bent and the board in front of you. Let the boat's pull lift you up slowly and find your balance.

When you finish, let go of the handle and settle into the water calmly. Once back on the boat, check your workout duration.

Riding against the pull works your cardiovascular system, legs, and core. Your grip, shoulders, and back stay engaged as you hold the handle.

Keep the handle low near your hips instead of pulling with your arms. If you fall, let go of the handle and signal that you are okay.

Relax your shoulders and breathe naturally while riding. After a fall, float in the water and let your breathing settle.

Record the time spent wakeboarding. Do not enter the number of runs, tricks, or distance.
