How to get a Beach Body with Exercises Surfing and Surfer Workouts

Exercises Surfing and Flexibility in my opinion are some of the greatest things to do to improve not only your Beach Body and surfing training but also your life. It is well known that surfers over the years have been involved in all sorts of behavior that leads to poor performance in and out of the water. However, as times have changed more and more surfers are backing the green movement, protecting their oceans and looking after them selves better with more exercises surfing and living naturally.

Exercises surfing and going greener are becoming a part of the surfing workout lifestyle. Check out the video below where I demonstrate some surfing workout movements you can pretty much perform anywhere where you have a bar.

Note that exercises surfing and living well means you may have to join a gym or purchase some equipment to utilize at home. While body weight training is imperative in my mind along with surfing time and training in the water, one can only fully integrate, condition and strengthen the body with some weight training movements. Check out surf training secret videos to come.

Exercises Surfing and Performance

HEY! So my Exercises Surfing and Performance blog is a continued post from last week. I had been invited over to Japan to sample their surfing and snowboarding methodologies…. so we continue the story…. I woke up two something hours later jet lagged, dazed and confused, being told very politely that the bus had arrived into Shinjuku (one of Tokyo’s central stations, a concrete jungle, no surfing or snow for miles) so could I please quietly and politely get my things and be on my way. The bus driver was dressed like an airline pilot – only better – he had on clean white gloves to match his formal bus driving suit and pilot hat….. definitely nothing close to the beach bodies I was used to hanging out with – cracked me up…only in Japan huh?

Exercises surfing and performance training had started…

Fresh Powder, Blue Skies, No Crowds, Surfing Exercises have never been better!

So I was in Shinjuku station – the heart of Tokyo – and I took one wrong turn and hit about a million suits walking in all directions in the mass transit system at rush hour. Try doing that with snowboards, boots, and luggage: almost impossible. My exercises surfing and performance training had started. Negotiating with the locals was a little tough too – in fact many people just ran away, scared a foreign person was attempting to speak with them!?

Very strange to see confused adults struggling to understand their own language and scuttling away leaving me to stare at signs I could not read. I needed to get outta this concrete jungle and find a beach or the mountains!

The good news is that when someone has been designated to meet you or look after you in Japan, everything becomes miraculously very easy. Easy to the point you sometimes feel guilty for their generosity and courtesy.

Exercises Surfing and Performance specialists from the Manza hotel in Gunma went out of their way to ensure I was well and truly looked after.

They took me to the 1998 Winter Olympic mountain site, escorted me to the deepest fresh powder, showed me the best tracks to surf through the trees and took me to eat amazing Japanese food!

Exercises Surfing and Performance Foods - Plenty of Protein, Essential Fats, Colorful Carbs and Tastes Amazing!

When in surf training or snowboard workout mode the exercises surfing and performance code must encompass nutrition. Japan is amazing when it comes to finding clean, healthy, vibrant food to fuel your surfing workouts and beach body. Check out the picture of my breakfast!

 

 

 

While we may aim to score epic waves and fresh powder on our surfing journeys it is always the amazing people we meet along the way that really make all the difference and make it all worthwhile.

Learn Surfing and Exercises for Surfing while Traveling the World

Have you ever thought you would like to learn surfing and exercises for surfing while traveling the world and visiting exotic locations?

If you’re anything like me you’re the type of person who loves exercises for surfing that help when pulling into a few decent waves or snow surfing on fresh powder and coming home psyched. Imagine having that same ‘amped-up-vibe’ mixed with a feeling of uncertainty and slight anxiety as you head over unknown mountain ranges, through tropical forests, or even through strange cities in the search for decent surf and snow.

I know this feeling; I know it well. Exercises for Surfing and teaching others how to stay in shape have taken me around the world.

Exercises for Surfing

HR D Man - Performance Trainer & Nutrition Coach

I love to surf and help people learn surfing and exercises for surfing while traveling the world. This wonderful sport of ours has taken me and into oceans and up mountains I once never dreamed I would visit. I’ve navigated my way to the beach through crazy Indonesian roads, on Moroccan camels, in beat up Sth American 4 by 4s, and in boats so over loaded you thank the lords (or who ever you want) that a board is close by and surfers know how to swim.

And you know what? Being surrounded by beach bodies in different cultures and countries has helped me develop my personal exercises for surfing programs while making me a better person and a better surfing athlete.

So when I got offered the opportunity to go to Japan and check the snow scene and train with specific exercises for surfing and snowboarding in the Alps I was frothing and ready to go.

Japan however, is VERY different to the rest of Asia. While Indonesia blends into Malaysia and flows into Thailand and over into Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, and China – Japan is out there – Japan is on its own, with its own unique perspective and own way of doing things.

First Up – Pretty much anywhere you go in Asia to fuel your boarding lifestyle, someone will quickly find you, speak English and want your money. Not so in Japan.

Secondly – If you can’t read Japanese Kanji (derived from Chinese characters) your shit out of luck when it comes to ordering food, reading road signs, or finding a washroom!

Third – I have scored loads of great waves in Asia and Sth East Asia and it was relatively easy and cost effective. Forget that. You need money flying into Tokyo baby.

And…while we’re here – when you do find a washroom it may be a public facility with everyone racing around naked in the snow, bathing in hot thermal baths…. Mmmm

Exercises for Surfing

Japan's highest natural hot spring bath - perhaps the highest in the world. Manza Hotel, Gunma, Japan - Over looking the Alps. Remember - Exercises for Surfing - always include chill out & recovery time!

So lucky for me, my rusty Japanese came in handy as I boarded a bus from Narita Airport and headed into Tokyo. Cheap as chips $60.00 US. What?!

Then again if I help people learn to surf and teach excellent exercises for surfing lets hope I get paid top notch huh?

Part two coming on the next blog… Until then keep strong and stay surf fit with great exercises for surfing. HR Dman

Stretching for Surfing Flexibility & Performance

Stretching for surfing and improving surfing flexibility and your surf body fitness is one of the easiest and time effective surf training methods to improve your surfing performance.

Throw into your surfing workouts or surf training program both static and dynamic stretching for surfing to allow your body to adapt to the positions that we throw ourselves into when in the ocean. As more and more surfers are realizing it is their bodies that do the surfing; they are also starting to realize stretching for surfing is one of the fastest ways to quickly improve surfing performance.

I thought it appropriate cause the Bells contest is just around the corner to check out the 2011 Bells Beach final between Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson and watch how their bodies move, twist and rotate and ask yourself how important do you think stretching for surfing and surfing flexibility really is?

This was a great final, for those of you that don’t know Mick has scholiosis of the spine so prior to surfing he often can be seen stretching for surfing and in the first minute of the video at 36 seconds he twists into a nice cutback (good surfer and good surfing flexibility) to set up the inside section. Later on he does a grab rail cut back which unless your naturally flexible without surf stretching you wont be able to get into that position and maintain your speed going into the turn. As for Joel, with good flexibility and fast reflexes he tucks into a barrel and takes the win…. what will happen this year?

PS - the video below has much better angles and music and pits… just because…

Improve your surfing and your surfing workouts by surf training like a pro and put some stretching for surfing into your daily surf exercise program because Stretching for surfing is one of the fastest ways to improve your Surf Body Fitness, what are your favorite surf stretches?

Surf Body Fitness and Surfing Workouts at the Beach!

Hey Team!

So many people forget that improving their Surf Body Fitness happens more easily by spending time at the beach involved in the activities you love more than visiting the gym and doing surfing workouts or indoor surf training sessions.

While it is important to have a surfers workout and improve one’s ability with specific surfing training it is vital to remember that water time is the best way to enhance your surf body fitness program while improving surf specific co-ordination, timing and understanding of the ocean.

Check out the video below - at the wedge on a big day - at minute 1.11 a surfer takes off and learns a good lesson while at minute 1.31 a surfer gets the wave of the day. Both will have improved their surf body fitness goals much more effectively than those choosing not to enter the ocean!

While surfing workouts definitely help develop a better surf body fitness agenda they need to be prioritized accordingly - in other words when there is surf take your surf training into the water with you! When there is no surf get your groove on in the gym or at home with balance boards, Swiss balls, dumb bells and your body weight - all can be used very effectively to create fantastic surfing workouts and enhance your surf body fitness so that  when the waves arrive you’ve got the body to roll!

Check out my Transformation Surfing Fitness Program to improve your surf body fitness surfing training and your surfing workouts.

Nutrition for Surfers, Surfing Workouts and Boarding Athletes

Hey Team! There is a lot of misinformation about nutrition for surfers and surfing training in the main stream media today. The video below illustrates some key points to consider about specific surfing nutrition for your surfing workouts and your surf training in general.

While nutrition for surfers information often comes from general information that stems from the ‘food pyramid’ the latest scientific research indicates that any performance – be it surfing in general, a surfing workout or surfing training it is not a wise idea to follow main stream media or government dictated advice.

Be very aware that government influenced nutrition for surfing information is often misleading and very far from the truth. You as a surfer have unique biochemical needs that are not reflected in generic information pumped out by government institutions.

As a surfer who has worked with thousands of individuals I can tell you that personalizing your nutrition and finding out exactly what works for your body and individual needs is the only way to truly find the right nutrients to continually improve your surfing body, surfing training and surfing performance.

If you have any questions about how to find the right surfing nutrition for you, just ask!

Surfing Workouts & Surf Training Not in the Gym!

Hey Team!

If your like me you want your surfing workouts to be as close to the real thing as possible. What better way than outside getting your carve on with your skateboard.

Check out the video below on how to practice the pop up, agility and balance while having a good old time outside on a beautiful day. This is one of the many ways to improve your surfing workouts and training while having a good time.

Stretching For Surfing & Your Surfers Workout: Warm Up Like a Pro

Hey Team!

Ever wondered why Pro Athletes spend so much time working out for surfing using exercises for flexibility prior to competing, surf training or surfing workouts?

Basically, stretching for surfing is one of the most powerful ways to increase energy, decrease the likely hood of injury and prepare the body for more dynamic movements that typically take place in the water when we surf, train or push our bodies with a surfing workout.

Check out Mick Fanning in the video below as he prepares for a heat and notice the dynamic type movements he uses to not only warm his body and increase blood flow from the heart but also to physically and mentally prepare himself for what could be a surf training session, expression session or surfing workout - in this case it is competition.

Great use of his body weight in all directions to ensure his entire body is mobilized and ready for action. A surfers body will always benefit from exercises for flexibility so remember to prepare for your surf training, surfing performance and surfing workouts with dynamic warm ups and stretches! Check the website for secrets on how to enhance your personal flexibility and performance.

Thanks for Being on Board with Surf Training Secrets
