Come to a tabletop position, holding the skateboard vertically with both hands. Inhale as you slide the board out in front of you as far as you can, then use your abdominals to draw it back in toward you on an exhale. Repeat 20–30 times.
Stand on the skateboard with your feet together. Squat down and touch your knees with your back straight, keeping your gaze forward. Come back to standing; repeat 10 times.
Then, squat deeper and touch your ankles, while still keeping your back straight and your gaze forward. Come back to standing; repeat 10 times.
Finally, squat even deeper and touch the board, while still keeping your back straight and your gaze forward. Come back to standing; repeat 10 times.
To intensify, close your eyes or lower down to a count of three and stand up to a count of one.
Start in a plank position with your feet on the board and your hands under your shoulders. Use your core to draw the board in toward you as you lift your hips into a pike position. Then, slowly and with control, lower your hips and slide your feet back to the starting position. Repeat 20–30 times.
Extend your arms into a T-shape and place your right foot on the skateboard. Slide your right foot forward into a deep lunge, lowering your left knee as close to the ground as possible. Repeat 20–30 times, then switch legs.
To intensify this exercise, close your eyes while doing the motion.
