EAT YOUR BREAKFAST you know you want it As I’ve stated before, I love food, and breakfast has got to be my preferred meal of the day. I wake up hungry, and immediately start cooking up something. So today, it was organic bacon, plantains, tomatoes, and organic eggs, cooked in coconut oil. A serious plate of food,…
DROP AND GIVE ME 20, BUT THEY HAD BETTER BE DAMN GOOD PUSHUPS. Surfers Perfect Pushups! Men usually love them, hell, it just feels tough banging out a bunch of pushups. Women usually stray away from them, which they really shouldn’t… women if you want some hot abs, then get good with pushups! Surfers, male…

ORGANIC CAULIFLOWER: ROASTED/CURRIED…. $3.50 CHEAP!!! This is a seriously GOOD recipe. I hated cauliflower veggies…for damn near my whole life, but finally gave this a go, and now eat it about once a week. It’s CHEAP, even the organic variety, and EASY to make. Cauliflower: member of the cabbage family; contains indoles (potential cancer fighters), contains…

YOU NEED TO PRACTICE SINGLE LEG WORK!! As a surfer, you need to be working on stability, strength, power, balance, and proprioception, all on a single leg! Squats are great, but think for a minute about your legs on a surfboard. They are in constant motion, dynamically involved in all the previously mentioned qualities, all while working largely independently…
BAD POSTURES=BAD SHOULDERS OPEN UP YOUR SHOULDERS—–STRETCH!!! Kyphotic posture… check out the picture, the image on the right is a pretty severe thoracic spine kyphosis. And unfortunately damn near your average American.
