if you can, get a med ball that weighs six or eight pounds. look online for exercises that will work your shoulders and your abs. working your shoulders will improve your freestyle, since your arms will be strong enough to sustain a good posture for a longer time and a good core will keep your body in a streamlined position while swimming. it will also help with flipturns.

both hands hit the wall together just below the surface of the water. don't grab the wall, let your momentum carry you towards it.\n\nkeep your head tucked to your chest as you drop one arm behind you like youre going to elbow someone (i use my left arm). at the same time your legs should begin to tuck up underneath your body.\n\nlet your right arm then go to your ear like youre answering the a phone with it. begin to roll a little to your left as your left knee drops down and you plant both feet on the wall.\n\nslide both of your hands up the length of your body into a streamlined position above your hands.\n\npush off the wall with your feet and get into a tight streamline. begin a dolphin kick for about 5 yards and then begin to pull with your arms just as your head is getting ready to break the surface of the water. now you start swimming butterfly again.

Swimming. Just relax in the water and swim whenever you feel like it. But try to do it every day for at least an hour. Swimming strengthens every muscle in your body and it helps your lungs.

most of your back, shoulder, abs, & to a lesser extent, arm muscles. kayaking is a great way to get in shape & is very peaceful (on a lake or ocean anyway)

Great exercise and therapy:\n\n Swimming can be very demanding for the beginner. Exercise at a comfortable pace and periodically check your heart rate to make sure you're staying in your training range. It is recommended that beginners swim 12-20 minutes, building endurance with time. As you progress, you'll be able to swim farther and faster at each workout, and the efficiency of your strokes will improve. Intermediate swimmers should swim 20-30 minutes and advanced swimmers 30-60 minutes. The freestyle, or crawl, is the most efficient and strenuous stroke. A 150 pound person burns about 8.5 calories, a minute, swimming freestyle. \n\n If you get tired, switch to a less strenuous stroke, such as the sidestroke or breaststroke, or swim a few laps with a kickboard. Swimming in sets - 4 laps freestyle, 4 laps breaststroke, 4 laps backstroke, for example - will make your workout more interesting and will exercise more muscles\n\nSimple Water Exercises:\n\n Kick with a kickboard or holding on to the side of the pool to tone legs, back and stomach. \n\n Leg lifts also condition legs, back and stomach. \n\n Holding on to the side of the pool, lift each leg 10 times in front of you, behind you and to each side. \n\n Running in the water increases your heart rate just as swimming does. Many people who can't run on land can run in the water without a problem. Because of the water's resistance, the impact on your body is far less. In chest-high water, begin by running with your hands on your head, and as you become more fit, paddle with your arms. You can alternate running with skipping, hopping, or even dancing in the water.\n\n Bobbing up and down in the water improves breathing and muscle tone. \n\n Treading in the water improves arm and leg strength. Whatever your level of ability, remember to cool down afterwards with water or stretching exercises

aerobic exercises are fantastic for losing weight and staying fit, yoga is great for flexibilty and tone and weight lifting is great for building mass. Swimming meets all of these in one exercise. Just remember to eat healthy also as these are the years when your body needs every ounce of nutrition you can give it.

BZ is a really good board,Manta will prob last the longest, toobs are good too. even if you are still starting off, try get something with a bat-tail, which makes it easier to do spinners(360s) that is the most basic move in bodyboarding. you will also need fins to help you paddle onto the waves, i recommend either "vipers","redley's" or "toobs blunt cuts", you will also need wax, a leash or cord, and if you want to avoid a rash on your abbs, a rash guard or vest.
