Start by bending forwards slightly at the waist, with core engaged, to a 45 degree angle, keeping your head neck and back in alignment. With arms extended below you and palms facing each other, raise the weights up slightly above your shoulders while keeping arms straight. Slowly return weights to the starting position.

Place deck length wise on the roller. Begin in the push up position with hands on the deck, shoulder width apart.

Swiss Ball Training


Why use a Swiss ball?

http://www.fit2surf.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/swiss-ball-stuff-from-book-for-fit2surf-024-300x200.jpgThe instability of Swiss balls makes them perfect for surfers who want that extra little strength, speed, or power.

It’s an excellent exercise tool if you’re looking to boost surfing movements and strengthen the core.

Just by sitting on the ball you activate the muscles of the core so vital in all surfing movements.

Boost your surfing balance!

A Basic Guide To Swiss Ball Training For Surfers

As the brain communicates with the muscles, the muscles talk back to the brain. This is called proprioception, and sometimes kinaesthesia. Muscles sense where you are in space and signal your brain : “your left arm is above your head “ or “ your right leg is straight out in front” a Swiss ball challenges proprioception – it is less stable than a bench and requires quick adjustment to maintain balance, just like surfing
