muscle-flexibility

What do you mean by "musculare" like toned or ripped like a juice head. I think if you are work out and get your body toned and fit it will make you less prone to injury and more flexible . Start doing Yoga it helps alot

 

WHOA WHOA WHOA YOUNG FELLA ,let me help you get the facts straight,
1. Sponge and ability dont mix : lol , it takes no ability to lay on your belly and flop around
2. you need as much muscle as possible it will help scare off the boogie board hecklers

Review} what you have learned so far : sponge riding requires no talent and you need muscle to stop the boogie board haters, cause it can get ugly quick mid july when its been ankle high for 2 month.

So to help you out, i would go and sell my boogie board and swim fins on Craigslist.com take my money and buy p90x and a volleyball , that way u can be rip and look cool .
hope this helps

 

hahaha i agree

 

OMG bbmoney that is exactly what i woulda said

 

ofcourse you don't want to put on any muscle, it will just make you bulky and slow. look at nfl running backs and professional fighters. see how bulky and slow and inflexible they are?

 

also body boarding does not require flexibility. Drop knee lots of flexibility, body boarding minimal.

 

bodyboarding requires a ridiculous amount of flexibility to be in the proper bodyboarding position (riding high on the board, and arching your back up)... mostly in your lower back, and also a great deal in your quads.

The best body boarders are generally smaller body types with incredible flexibility.

And, you are right to a certain extent, that working on just building muscle will reduce your flexibility. I am by no means an expert, but what you want is a combination of strengthening, endurance, and flexibility. The big body builders have very little flexibility.

So, my recommendation is to lift weights, but also add in lots of cardio and stretching (yoga is great for stretching). And, when you lift, go for less weight and greater reps to increase endurance.

For both surfing and bodyboarding, one of the most important areas to focus on is your core.

 

I use more flexibility to get out of bed in the morning than it takes to ride a bodyboard

 

Notice how it's always bashing bodyboarding? Just let em' be clowns and jealous...

 

jeff hubbard does his stretches... see attached photo.

 

Ooo.. I like this game...

NJ's own Chris Schlegel loves to do his stretches and be flexible...

 

that's a profoundly ignorant statement

 

that is just plain ignorance

 

I think he's referring to actually body builders.. they do have pretty bad flexibility...

 

what are you gonna do? stretch out your spine so you can bend backwards further? Bone's dont stretch.
