Well, not really. But you can get the body that comes from riding waves with a big bonus: your kid might like watching while you do. Who knows? Maybe they'd even join you.

Surf Stronger is a workout video series that incorporates surf video and stars two-time runner-up World Champion surfer, Serena Brooke. Talk about inspiration!

For me, this workout would be a bit melancholy, as I still miss surfing my native Southern California waves as a Northern Virginia transplant. I'm no Serena, not even close. But longboarding at San Onofre with my dad are memories I hold dear. Watching the waves from my basement is something I never thought possible. I love the idea nonetheless, especially with cooler months approaching faster than a pipeline off the North Shore coast.

Created by Strength and Conditioning Specialist and avid surfer, Scott Adams, promoters tout the videos as offering a surf-specific workout to improve core strength, stability, and endurance that will give users amazingly toned arms and killer abs year round, without ever having to hit the beach. Great news for Midwesterners! Or, for those interested in learning how to surf, the workout can provide a good training tool long before diving in and paddling out.

The videos, already the top downloads on surfing's No. 1 website, can be performed anywhere – in a hotel room, your living room, backyard, or gym. They can also be downloaded to an iPod.
