How To Become A More Athletic Surf Or Snow Athlete


It's the start of another new month and that means it's time for your August workout calendar.
 
But first here is you monthly fitness tip...
 
 
How To Become A More Athletic Surf Or Snow Athlete 
 
Incorporate the following in your workouts to become more athletic:
  • Self massage with foam rolling before or after your workout
  • Warm-up with mobility, activation and corrective exercises
  • Include single leg and single arm exercises
  • Jump more to build power and practice eccentric landings
  • Do anti-rotation and rotational core exercises
  • Build stability with unstable surface training
  • Do interval training cardio
  • Master your bodyweight with pushups, pullups and single leg squats
  • Vary your sets, reps and exercise order
  • Record your workouts to measure progress
  • Follow a pre-designed program and mix it up every 4 weeks 
That list is by no means comprehensive, but if you are doing most of those things you are well on your way to becoming more athletic in the surf or snow!

Don't have much time to exercise?


Don't have much time to exercise?
 
Time based workout challenges are a great way to do a fast training session if you are busy and don't have a lot of time to spend working out.
 
I know that life can get busy and we just don't have enough time in the day and sometimes our fitness is the first thing to go out the window. 
 
So here is a quick solution for next time you only have a limited time to workout...
 

Fast Surf Fitness (FSF) Workout
 
Warmup
  • 20 Jumping Jacks
  • 10 Spiderman Climbs
  • 10 Bodyweight Split Squats
  • 10 Kneeling Push-ups

Next complete 10 reps of each exercise in a circuit taking rest breaks as needed between exercises.
 
See how many circuits you can do in 15 minutes and then try and beat it next time.
  • Weighted Squat Jumps
  • Plank Dumbbell Rows
  • Deadlift to Press
  • Side Plank Rotations
  • Swiss Ball Push-ups
 
In this high-speed workout you are training lower body strength (quad and hip dominant movements), upper body strength (pushing and pulling) as well as core stability and strength. A solid total body workout.
 
 
Are you using time as an excuse not to get a fitter, leaner, stronger, healthier body?
