Each week you will be sent a new workout to get your strength and endurance up to scratch before you go. They will be no longer than 15 minutes and require no equipment, so you can do them wherever or whenever you like.

Each workout uses a clever combination of exercises that will target weaknesses and improve balance. These aren't your typical sweatfest sessions you will find on the YouTubes, and are progressive in nature. 

These sessions are designed to improve your flexibility and mobility to not only reduce your risk of injury, but to improve your surfing. 

These sessions take advantage of the clever strategies of the Not Really Yoga system, including release work done with a ball, active and passive stretching, and ensuring that the gains made cross over into surfing and real life, through neural based techniques. 

The 5 Minute Fix is a core tenet of the Not Really Yoga system, designed to address specific areas in as little as 5 minutes. 

Borne out of the strategies given to my athletes and patients for homework, the program contains amazing strategies designed to address issues with the back, shoulders, neck, knees and hips.

Going to the gym for an hour 3 times a week to squat and deadlift are just things we made up. The body works best when exposed regularly and sporadically to bang for buck movements, as contained in this program. A minute here of there throughout the day, will make a ridiculous difference to your movement, mobility and strength. No sweating or preparing required. I've even had some of my athletes do these exercises on bathroom visits at work!

Breathwork is all the rage for surfers these days. But there's no need to immerse yourself in ice, or sign up to an expensive breathing course to discover some amazing ways to improve your breath capacity. 

The techniques in the program draw upon a combination of yoga breathing practices and exercises taught to me my some of my big wave surfing clientele. 

You'll get the best pre and post surf strategies to get you prepped for surfing, and stretch out after, so you can back up the next day, or even after a quick post surf feed.

These will keep you in check on your trip and for a long time after. Many surfers I work with do this warm up religiously, and note the detrimental impacts they notice when they don't. 

As a member of the NRY Surf Trip Prep Program you will also have access to me personally via the members only facebook group. 

It's better than being trained face to face, as I'll be in there whenever you need to ask a question or need some feedback, or just want to show off your accomplishments!

This program could be done in as little as 30 days if you are already fairly fit, or easily be expanded out to an 8-16 week program just through extending each phase. In fact, given the progressive nature of the program, you may even see greater benefit this way. Anything less than 30 days wouldn't see the ideal progression, but given it is only 15 minutes a day, you could certainly get plenty of benefit this way.

The program is released in 4 phases weekly, so as not to overwhelm you, but I would suggest aiming for 8 weeks.

Nothing.

This program has been designed to be done with minimal fuss, and high accessibility. 

The beauty of this program is that it hasn't been thrown together by someone who did a course for a few weeks and decided to do an online program. This is the culmination of my clinical practice, and work with surfers, and understanding what they will and won't do. This includes working around injuries.

The program includes 5 minute fixes, which is basically the homework that many of my athletes get given when travelling to sort out there issues. If pain inhibits the workouts, adapt them, or wait, and work through the 5 minute fixes first.

Keep in mind, you also have access to me via the facebook group to ask any questions specific to your thing, 

Not at all. This program is designed to get the busy surfer up to scratch for surfing better, avoiding injury, with the bonus of moving better and stronger in everyday life. 

Awesome things for a surf trip-even better for everyday.
