A surfer’s workout guide while on isolation
Posted on May 29, 2020
People are asked to stay home in order to help fight the spread of
COVID-19. For runners, hikers, bikers, and surfers, going out for
daily workouts is not an option. To break a sweat, here are a few
exercises surfers can do at home. Steve Sorensen.
Yoga is a good supplemental workout for surfers. The workout
helps in stretching the muscles, elongating the back, and relaxing
the whole body. If online shops still deliver products, purchase a
yoga mat and a foam roller to help get rid of knots. Head over to
YouTube to follow great yoga workouts. Get a slap line.
Balancing on a slap line provides much information to the nervous
system through one’s control of their center of gravity over
unstable surfaces. Steve Sorensen.
Toe clocks strengthens the hip muscles and prevents one from
injuring their knee. Drive the hip back and try to go as low as you
can when doing the clocks. This is a great exercise for stability
and control. Avoid the knees from caving to prevent injuries.
Shrimp squats are great for improving the range of motion of
the hip, knees, and ankles.
Back pain is a common issue for surfers. Foundation training
focuses on the spine’s health. Anchoring and breathing are two
important elements of the workout which decompress the spine.
Moreover, foundation training or founders engage the hip and core muscles. Surfing is huge on stability and
flexibility. For now, these workouts should be good enough to satisfy a surfer’s craving for the waves. Steve
Sorensen.
