Best Exercises for Beginner Skateboarders - Power Pop Series

Learn the best ways to get strong for skateboarding with this short video of fundamental exercises for skateboarders. From beginner to Pro, these exercises will help keep you strong on your board and reduce injuries.

I wish I’d started doing skate specific workouts sooner in my life. A mix of rehab, pre-hab and strength building would’ve gone a long way to improving my skating and reducing my frustrating stack of injuries.

Whether you’re stepping on a board for the first time or a seasoned skater looking to keep going this video is for you. Enjoy!

The key for these exercises is to take it slow and focus on form and balance. I highly recommend working both legs so each side of your body gets stronger and you don’t perpetuate imbalances.

If you only have 2 minutes free just do 30 seconds of air squats, 30 seconds of lunges, 30 seconds of calf raises, and 10 push ups. Just that will give you a noticeable difference in your skating after a month.

Get after it!
