knee raises, 2 minutes balancing on toes, 2 minutes total side leg raises (nice and slow), 10 per side straight leg lift to the front, as long as you can plank, 30s intervals, as long as you can manage
I tried this. I don't think I even did the march in place one for a full minute. Very sore and awkward on the board the next day. But the day after that - better than ever. Thanks
In cold weather yes. But wearing them in warm weather reduces your ability by 10% and rolling it up above your ears reduces your ability a further 20% by dramatically increasing overall douchiness. Think about it. Jagger Eaton could be 30% better overnight!
ben,im not sure if ive said this,but you have by far the best skate channel on youtube. i hope the skate gods and the community take care of you and help this channel grow! from one aging skater to another.
Thanks Chris. I keep you guys in mind all the time when creating and I guess it shows. It took me almost one year to get to 3000 subs and in 8 days I just gained almost 1000. Fingers crossed lets hope the momentum stays.
This is some Mr. Miyagi stuff right here. Yesterday I skated again for the first time in 8 years, and the muscles that hurt are the same ones you're excercising. Thanks for sharing!
There's also an exercise I do to get my ankles stronger (I usually do it when I need to recover from a rolled/sprained ankle) : basically you just lock the tip of your toes against a wall or anything that wont move and you force against it towards the outside of your foot (like the flick of a kickflip) for 30 seconds then rest, and do it several times. You can even do it while sitting if you're bored in class or at the office!
Great advice! I am 41 and just came back to skating a few months ago. The knee raises and side leg raises helped get rid of having stiff legs. I feel like I can pull my legs higher when I ollie. Thanks, I feel like these exercises are going to be part of my daily routine!
At 38 all the dudes at the park look at me like i'm a psycho for stretching!! I'll be skating longer because of this! Bookmarking this video. Thanks dude! \m/
Tiger - I’ve had so many injuries that I’m only in my 20s and have zero flexibility and poor mobility. I will be the young dude stretching with you at the skatepark haha
@@caztastic9120 Keep stretching , its perfect. The other thing that helps me is walking a lot for exercise , good for ankles , quads bum and back. Don't run cos its too much strain. See you at the park legend! Sk8 forever!
i just started learning to skate 4 days ago. i'm noticing already that my muscles are too weak to keep myself stable on the board because of how sedentary i've been leading up to deciding to make a change. i'm gonna start doing these consistently while trying to get the courage to even stand on the board and just keep pushing. struggling but this gave me something new to try to help out, thank you so much!!
rolling up the windows haha i love it. Nice routine ill try it out! 30 years old getting back into skateboarding for exercise and relive my youth. Great videos, you're a really good skater!
Jumping squats helped me get my hops back after taking a break around 2011. I was hanging up on frontside lipslides on the mid setting of my Element flat bar and knew I had to get some exercise in. A few times a week and a month later I was back at my old self. I'm back out of shape and recently hurt myself due to over use, I was skateboarding about 3.2 miles every day to work and my front ankle was hurting real bad. Felt like an arthritic flare up. The pain finally subsided after two months of not riding. Def gonna ease into it this time. Thanks for the video!
Since the day I skate till today I do really some chill stretches and warm up before do skating and thank god I’m 38yr old right now And still skating damn exercise is important for any sports you do💯🔥❤️
31 years young. Getting back into skateboarding after 5 years off and have been skating for a good 3-4 days of the week for maybe two months now. Muscle memory is still there and tricks are coming back pretty steady, not so much the muscle. The first exercise Ben talks about, that muscle is constantly sore and does not rebound easily or seems to strengthen. From my research it is called the Sartorius muscle. Even After taking a break for a few days to rest and it feels better, that soreness comes back as though It's never been activated in some time after a 1-2 hour session. Also the arches of my feet especially my left pop foot (goofy) are extremely cramped after 10 mins of skating. Switch feels okay. Doing these exercises I instantly feel the burn but in a warm cozy feeling way. Thanks for the tips Ben. I've been glued to your vids for a while now and it's put a whole new perspective into my life that i wish I had when I was 16. Keep em coming!
Thts the problem i have, i know how to do all the flip tricks but my body and muscles wont let me do it. I try to atleast roll around and push just to build the little muscles you use skating but nit use in ykur every day life ( well, as much as you do skating) Frustrating knowing but not being able to do even the basic sht anymore . Doesn't help tht mentally, your afraid to commit to landing because of getting hurt and not being able to work. I kid you not, im more comfortable skating switch and nollie more than anything else. Everything would be sooo much easier if my body was in skate shape.
Thank you for making this video, I'm 33 and have never done exercises to help improve my skateboarding 15 years ago and I already notice a huge improvement. This is my go-to routine now!
The first one is super important. I strained my psoas muscle from too many ollies my first session back after a 20+ year hiatus. I'll be doing these everyday, as well as warming up and stretching each time I skate.
This video really helped me after not skating for almost 10 years.. Waiting on my trucks(indy 149s), wheels(formula four conical 52mm 99a's), and skate shoes(the White es' Accel Everstitch) to arrive, so I've been doing stretches and leg exercises the past 2 weeks to prepare me for getting back on my board, on top of my regular 20 min daily calisthenics routine This video has just added a few more exercises to my routine and I really appreciate the quality of these exercises, as I can feel how much they help the specific muscles I will use while skating. Very informative video Ben. Thanks
Thank you Ben this was really helpful. I just started skating again a few months ago. I'm 49. Just cruising on the longboard practicing pushing and riding in different stances. I try to do the P90X Core Synergistics workout once a week. My ankles are my weak point so I think the calve exercises will help with that. Also I'm pretty vigilant about stretching after my sessions. Especially my glutes and hamstrings. Thanks again bro keep up the great videos!
I've heard elastic band exercises are good for that. Or rubber, whatever it's made of. But essentially resistance training. And anything that's going to activate balance and build your stabalizing muscles. I'm just getting into it at 28 thank you for inspiring me.
Stretching before a sesh helps a tun some pros say this is why they dont get hurt as much at others swears by it .Some like ankle stuf 'other joints ' and some tendons. Eddit .... i mostly do ankle stuff to better avoid hurting that joint i think it works in my opinion but im def trying what this vid offers
Thanks for this video. I've been doing these almost a month and I think they've helped out quite a bit as an adjunct to practicing tricks in my garage. I've taken some exercises a step further: like standing on your tip toes, side leg raises, and straight leg raises, and doing them on my skateboard on carpet. So there's the added reaction of trucks wobbling in the mix. I do these specific ones exclusively on my board now and it helps my balance while getting in the exercise.
LIST OF WORKOUT: thank u for the amazing video!!!🙏 gonna do these before hitting the skatepark but here’s it written out for ppl to screenshot!!! watch the vid tho cus his explanations are necessary :)) hope everyone has fun skating 1. knee raises, 2min one set 2. standing on tippy toes, 30sec-1min at a time, two sets 3. side leg raise, 10 reps 3 sets 4. stand on one foot and lift your leg straight out in front of you (arms out for balance), both sides 5. planking, 30 sec intervals or as long as you can
Ever checked out the yoga article in the Jenkem mag? Might be interesting for you Normaly I hate youtubers but I really enjoy your content - it's really inspiring. Keep it up!
these really truly help, i've been obsessed with finding all the ways I can become better at skating. i've definitely incorporated excercises into my daily workout routine. thank you
hey Ben! loved this video and will be doing these exercises before every skate session. I would love to see another video with some 15 min stretching exercises we can do after a skate session. That would be awesome. I am a 45-year old skater trying to prevent injuries you see ☺️ Love your channel! keep up the good work 😉
Yes! Gonna start on these I been thinking if i have more strength overall i can ollie higher and take falls better and have more endurance etc! Please help with more good exercises Bob Ross of skateboarding but your the much cooler version :) and thx so much for making these vids they are helping Old School starting again Skater me gain so much more confidence ✌️ your vids have helped me a lot TY
Yes, yes, yes. Im recovering from surgery and need excersise tips. Im at the point where I can excersise. I have been doing squats. This vid is perfect timing. Thanks again for great content. I have a pink yoga mat for planking and abdominal excecises.
yo ben,,,..... I;ve been skating for 14 years. Im almost Am but the important thing is... I quit skateboarding for boxing for 2 years. I learned ALL This stuff ur teaching. I try n tell friends but they no listen...
This is absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing this, you’re doing a great job for the senior skateboarding community. Subbed my friend.👍😊 Oh an I have found plyometrics to be a helpful tool for this 41 year old skateboarder.
These are freaking excellent and I’ve found them useful as warm ups for other exercises I’ve been doing. I’ve started doing a knee raise variation where I hold weights so there’s a warm up for the arms when my elbow meets my raised knee. They also work side abs I think as well? It’s an efficient move can be done anywhere and I love it.
Try walking about on your tip-toes around the house, its just a variation on bens stationary version. Also standing on one leg then switching to the other, for 1-minuate per leg then increase as you get better.
I honestly haven’t been improving because my legs are stiff as hell. You got me back into considering lower body exercises again, I always neglected my legs after martial arts.
Before I watch d Thai I wanted to workout to get better bc I am mostly right sided while skateboarding so I wanted to even out. I used to do ballet so I did stuff like this so I’m vv happy I did it and to a fast pace song with a. Beat.
10 secs: "this video's bunk" 50 secs: "okay, this kinda burns" 2 mins: "MAKE IT STOP MAKEITSTOP" I do pilates every day, and even I feel this working out muscles that don't see daily use. thank you!
Hey man great video. I had a question. I just started skating again after 17 years. I am a single dad with 2 kids a 5 and 10 yo. Both wanted to learn to skate so I figured I would give it a shot again. The problem I have is that 9 years ago I had both of my Achilles tendons torn in half as well as all the ligaments in both ankles. I have been trying to figure out what the best exercise I can do to get the strength back into those areas I was just wondering if you had any ideas? I was able to get back on my board and push and ride around but anything more I find my ankles try to buckle....
Anyone have tips on how to plank without hurting the elbows? Not sure if I just have bad form or if it's just hurt from all the swelbows but I can never do them without my elbows hurting
Fir the tippy toe one, As a kid i wabtes to ve a cat, So id walk around barefoot like im in heals and it helped me grasp the balancing quicker, so i can do em while stabding still, ahahah
what’s weird is i’m regular, like that’s more comfortable, but i balance better on my right foot. would it be better to practice balancing on my left foot or try and switch? I’ve been skating for a year but not every week, maybe a couple times a month at most
Chris Berquist my English is bad.. sorry! I meant that if you do squats work as well for the muscle you use for jump! And even another exercise that you jump taking the knee high
Filippo Lescai are you trying to say that if you squat it could be substituted for all the exercises that in the video because it targets all the same muscles? If so I disagree there are small stabilizer muscles and skating is a very graceful and agile sport that uses muscles that would never be hit unless your a skater.
knee raises, 2 minutes
balancing on toes, 2 minutes total
side leg raises (nice and slow), 10 per side
straight leg lift to the front, as long as you can
plank, 30s intervals, as long as you can manage
When you said planking, I was thinking, "Is he really going to plank on those rocks?" Yes, yes you did lol
Jorell Manoa it helps with the your pain threshold when you take a slam on your skateboard.
I tried this. I don't think I even did the march in place one for a full minute. Very sore and awkward on the board the next day. But the day after that - better than ever. Thanks
lol-ing that we sought out the same old man skate exercise vid
I’ll just leave this comment at 69 likes
Fact. Beanies help in skating 20 %.
In cold weather yes. But wearing them in warm weather reduces your ability by 10% and rolling it up above your ears reduces your ability a further 20% by dramatically increasing overall douchiness. Think about it. Jagger Eaton could be 30% better overnight!
So wear 5 beanies then?

I always wear a beanie. Gives me all the stoke.

Love this guy being realistic
Him and vl skate are the best

Dont have a board yet but I'll hopefully get one soon so I'm starting to exercise now so I'll be in slightly better shape by then lol
how’s the progress so far?
Hope you doing good bro
Smart this will help
Did you get a board yet?

Good tips. Nice video.
I find the toe exercise and leg raise also helps with fighting
I'm so going to try these. Just got a board last year at 42 yo and I have poor coordination is why I put it off for so long.
yo ben,,,..... I;ve been skating for 14 years. Im almost Am but the important thing is... I quit skateboarding for boxing for 2 years. I learned ALL This stuff ur teaching. I try n tell friends but they no listen...

Oh an I have found plyometrics to be a helpful tool for this 41 year old skateboarder.
I will have to look up plyometrics now. I'm glad you are enjoying:)
41 yr old skater here too
this is exactly what i needed
unique useful content thx a lot man
I absolutely needed this video. Very helpful.
Thank you Ted
I'm a personal trainer and these exercises will definitely help. But don't twist during knee raises,it can hurt your spinal disks.👍
Ive been waiting for this one. Thanks ben.

I have more planned.

Try walking about on your tip-toes around the house, its just a variation on bens stationary version.
Also standing on one leg then switching to the other, for 1-minuate per leg then increase as you get better.
Literally a godly video, so helpful. Thank you so much
i will try this every day and night for a month
vro so helpful thanks man it'll help a bunch
Great video! I’ll definitely give this a try.
Just wondering: do you have old skate footage of you back in the day? Keep up the good work - this is my favorite channel right now :)
There is very little footage of me out there. I didn't film much. I regret that a bit.
Thank it helped now I can do a kickflip a Manuel and a shove you are amazing
Shove it
Very useful vid
nice lakai.
I honestly haven’t been improving because my legs are stiff as hell.
You got me back into considering lower body exercises again, I always neglected my legs after martial arts.
How are you now? I have had a hard time improving
When you turn the foot, different muscles of the calf work
i love your videos!
can you do more videos of exercises?
I have a few more in mind already. Coming up within the month.
@@bendegros hey bro, did you ever release morr stretching videos? This one really helped
dude, myth or not. thank you for this. too bad, i rolled my ankle last weekend, i never tried the warmup. shouldve. i tried it since you uploaded it.
Before I watch d Thai I wanted to workout to get better bc I am mostly right sided while skateboarding so I wanted to even out. I used to do ballet so I did stuff like this so I’m vv happy I did it and to a fast pace song with a. Beat.

I do pilates every day, and even I feel this working out muscles that don't see daily use. thank you!
Baller, tried this and it worked
Hey, could you make a video on some good stretches to do after a long skate? Thanks!
I will keep it in mind but I am guilty of not stretching after skating.
4k....congratulations man.
Thanks b gab. Did you notice that 3000 to 4000 happened in one week? It took me by surprise.
I know! It's moving so fast that it caught my eye. Its exciting. Well deserved. Many more to come my friend.
Great! Thanks!
I just found out that tensor have a new model truck. It's called all terrain. It's caught my interest. Maybe you should review them.
That does sound interesting.
Great video
*thank you master*
THANK YOU !
love this exercises please make some more, i m 35 and i hurt a lot dude :P
Awesome!

Thanks Frankie.
Anyone have tips on how to plank without hurting the elbows? Not sure if I just have bad form or if it's just hurt from all the swelbows but I can never do them without my elbows hurting
Great practical advice! How high can you vertical box jump? Thank you!
This video rocks! I been doing these and I’m seeing progress! Thanks dude!

Love your content! Very helpful. Thanks :)
Fir the tippy toe one, As a kid i wabtes to ve a cat, So id walk around barefoot like im in heals and it helped me grasp the balancing quicker, so i can do em while stabding still, ahahah
This is i looking for
Hey Ben, do you do this before a session? Do you think it will help like directly before a sesh?
Look up some stretches to do as a warm up before skating.
Reformative Training
More exercise videos comment
great content. can finally ollie over my ex
Ab roller is way better than planking since u include stabilisation and low back!
Damn I didn’t struggle with any of theses and actually balanced longer then you suggested. Weird flex but ya I guess I’m stronger then I thought 😂
We want your old footy buddy! Show us those van spots
I get this question a lot. I don't have any. I never filmed:( I regret that now.
How about some exercises for a herniated disc in the lower back? :/
what’s weird is i’m regular, like that’s more comfortable, but i balance better on my right foot. would it be better to practice balancing on my left foot or try and switch? I’ve been skating for a year but not every week, maybe a couple times a month at most
Eric Forman?
I Think squat work as well for jumping higher! And jump taking knew to the chest.. ;)
Filippo Lescai Nothing you said made any sence. What are you trying to say?
Chris Berquist my English is bad.. sorry! I meant that if you do squats work as well for the muscle you use for jump! And even another exercise that you jump taking the knee high
Filippo Lescai are you trying to say that if you squat it could be substituted for all the exercises that in the video because it targets all the same muscles? If so I disagree there are small stabilizer muscles and skating is a very graceful and agile sport that uses muscles that would never be hit unless your a skater.
Chris Berquist no.. it's an exercise in more to do..
Filippo Lescai O I agree that's smart.
Oof, just started skating again after 5 years and Its very clear that I need more workouts and stretches haha. My flexibility is like non existent...
