READY TO KITE
Prepare your body before your kitesurf trip
A simple, clear and useful routine to arrive more ready for your trip. 5 exercises. 10 to 15 minutes. Accessible to all levels.
Ready to Kite
kite Kite starts long before you put the kite in the air.
Why
This is not complicated training.
The goal is not to crush yourself before the trip. The goal is to wake up the right areas, restore some mobility, improve control, and handle your sessions better.
Less useless fatigue
Reduce that dead-on-day-two feeling.
More control
Train legs, core, shoulders and stability that actually matter for riding.
More fun
A body that is more ready means more quality sessions.

How to fit it in before a trip
You do not need a military plan. Pick the frequency that fits your real life.
Ideally start 2 to 4 weeks before your trip. If you are late, just do the routine consistently instead of trying to compensate with too much volume.
