Bosu Exercises
Boost your surfing moves with the BOSU BALANCE TRAINER
The exercise- Alternating torso twists with squats.
Movement 1.
Start by standing on the BOSU feet at hip width apart, before starting any movements engage your core (your transverse abdominus) this will add stability to your movements.
Start by just practicing a basic squat with shoulders back, feet both pointing in the same direction, arms out in front of you for stability, once you have mastered a basic squat your ready to progress to the next movement.
Movement 2.
Start the exercise in the squat position holding the medicine ball in both hands on the left hand side of your body from here move in a diagonal line across your chest raising the medicine ball up to right just above your shoulder, once you get to the top slowly squat back down to the starting position.
Repeat this 8-12 times then you may wish to move onto the other side and go from right to left 8-12 times.
During a round house cutback for example the core muscles have to work very hard to twist the body in the direction that you want the board to go to, repeating the same or similar movement over and over with resistance, and an unstable surface like the BOSU will generate strength in time that will improve the surfing movement.
In addition to the core activation that takes place the legs, ankles, hips and knees all have to work hard to work together through the movement.
This all takes place with the help of the surfer’s propreoception skill level or “sixth sense” that is either high or low depending on that surfer’s ability. Repeating the exercise again and again using the BOSU may well be something that just can’t be done in the water.
Propreoception is achieved through muscles, ligaments and joint actions using messages that are continuously sent through the central nervous system. If you adopt a surf training program like this you’re not just training you muscles your training everything else used around them, this in turn improves your movement in a far greater way!
Movement 3.
As you improve with your speed during the movement try changing your direction for example try movements that go from left to right and backwards from right to left, this will boost your movement strength to new heights if done on a regular basics.
For every surfing movement there are dozens of exercises that can improve them using the right balance kit on a regular basis.
