Surfing Core Exercise

TOTAL SURFING FITNESS

If you really want to challenge your core stability you need to be doing exercises that force your body out of balance. This way you are training your muscles to bring your self back into a balanced position. As balance and stability are important for surfing, make sure you include stability training in your workouts. 

If you are looking for some variety in training your core and balance, have a go at this exercise. It is great for building core strength and stability whilst challenging your balance.

Core Balance Circles

Stand on a BOSU or balance board and keeping your core braced draw big circles holding a weight plate or dumbbell (I use a 10kg weight plate).

Do 5-10 circles each direction. 

If you don't have a BOSU or balance board, try the exercise standing on one leg (and even try closing your eyes).

You will be surprised at what an effective core workout this will give you if you do it correctly.

Are you suffering from tight muscles?

If you are living an active lifestyle (I hope you are), then you may well be prone to having overactive or tight muscles.

To help manage this, I recommend you get yourself a foam roller and self massage several times per week.

Foam rolling helps break down the knots in your muscles, just like having a massage. All you do is simply roll over the tight muscles focusing on the knots or sore parts of the muscle.

I find it really helps with my hips flexors, as mine are always pretty tight, but the same principle applies to any muscle group.

I recommend every surfer get themselves a foam roller. You can purchase them from most fitness stores or online.

I Hope you got some good tips from this.
