Dear Windsurfers,
Have you ever thought about how much your sailing could improve if your body was in peak condition to go windsurfing...?
Can you imagine the feeling when you throw down a huge trick that you never used to be able to do...?
Wouldn't you like to be ready for the coming season...?

Core Strength & Balance
As windsurfing incorporates a lot of twisting and rotating, core strength plays a critical part in controlling the movements on your board. The stronger your core, the easier it will be to perform more challenging manoeuvres and maintain good form. It will also help reduce the risk of injury.
Back Extension
--> Lie on the stability ball with your feet against a wall for support.
--> Keeping your back straight and your hands behind your head, slowly lower your trunk towards the floor bending from the hips and then slowly raise back to a straight body position.
--> To make it harder, hold a weight plate above your head.

Stability Ball Balance Twist
--> Kneel on the ball whilst holding a weight plate or medicine ball in your hands.
--> Twist the weight / medicine ball from one side of your body to the other whilst maintaining your balance.
--> If kneeling is too easy, perform the exercise with one foot and one knee on the ball.
