Jayne Rigby - SUP Fitness, SUP with a Pup, SUP Coaching with Liverpool SUP Co and Plastic Pollution

I'm thrilled to welcome Jayne Rigby of the Liverpool SUP Co. I met Jayne on Instagram and in 2019 and had a coaching session on the Albert Docks in Liverpool with her. Her love for coaching and helping clients improve their understand of SUP, their technical ability and enjoyment shines through.  With a background in marine conservation, Jayne is also very active in protecting the environment. Jayne also has a special member of her team, her Staffy Oscar, so we will be SUP-ing with a Pup!

Jayne is the founder, owner and Head Coach at Liverpool SUP Co in England. She is also a Strength & Conditoning Coach at The Liverpool Strength Company & a Yoga Teacher at the Liverpool Yoga Company. Coaching, teaching, helping are her job and her life.

As well as being a coach, she is also a Marine Conservationist & does her conservation work as a branch of the Liverpool SUP Company. With a BSc in Ocean Sciences (Zoology w/Marine Zoology) as well as a PGCert in Conservation Management, she studied the ocean and how important it is for us to protect and conserve our 'big blue'.

Jayne is also the regional rep  in Liverpool for Surfers Against Sewage, organising beach cleans and paddle pick ups with On Planet Patrol, talk to schools and helping local businesses go plastic free and be more sustainable.

In this episode we talk about:

• How we can build SUP fitness on the land if we can't get to the water - some great ideas for a home workout 
• How improving our technical skills will help us paddle longer, faster, stronger as recreational paddlers and get more enjoyment from our SUP and prevent injury
• Warming up and cooling down after SUP
• Founding and building a SUP business 
• Combining her purpose, joy and business to make a difference in the world
• Her commitment to the oceans 
• How SUP helps us see ourselves as athletes and appreciate what our bodies can do
• SUPping with a pup & how we can do that safely 
• The work of Surfers Against Sewage and On Planet Patrol 
• How going under a swing bridge on a paddleboard is actually a burpee!
• A beautiful paddle in Loch Lomond
