I'm 44. I foam roll and stretch every morning, and most evenings. I run 5 times a week, with some weight training 3 times a week. I get to skate about 4-5 times a week, fully padded with a helmet all the time. It hurts a lot less. I think squats can definitely help with the strength/balance needed when getting into trick position. I've started incorporating them into my routine with kettle bells.
For me it's mostly ankle mobility. I was so worried about my knees based off the health of the men in my family that I didn't even notice my ankles are the joints getting stiff and giving me problems. I'm more worried about joint health over muscles flexibility at this point. Sometimes my feet & ankles don't like those impacts. I got an electric foot massager for really cheap off of Amazon I use a few times a week, I think it helps keep my feet loose. I go to a chiropractor when I can remember to. Glucosamine & Omega 3s are good for joint health, but I'm trying to increase the fat content in my diet; it's good for joint health & energy.
I’m 45 and just started skating again last summer. Like a 25 yr break. I’ve never been a daily skater or taken it seriously tho till now. I went through a few months of constantly having at least 3 pulled muscles at all times and I was stretching before my sessions. I finally went to a physical trainer and was shown new stretches that go way deeper than what I was doing. Also, I do them 2x a day. And a kinda throughout the day. I immediately started feeling better and those pulls are gone and have much more strength! I thought I was done for but now feel better than ever just after a couple weeks.
Jack Howard hey man, so all the stretches focus on upper and lower calf’s and hamstrings. I’m not sure how to describe all of them but there’s downward dog and then some variations of that by bending one knee and leaning into that side. There’s pigeon pose and variations. The a few where you lay on your back and you use a strap to wrap around the ball of one of you feet while you raise your leg up keeping your knee straight. You can pull tighter and raise the leg higher or lower to change which part of the muscle to focus on. There’s a few more but they actually all can be done thru basic yoga poses. It’s just doing them consistently is the key!
The best feeling in the world is being fully warmed up. All your muscles are working in unison, you know that your body is working hard but it feels right.
I’m 46 and what works for me is 5 years ago after ACL replacement I quit drinking alcohol, started to stretch everyday, do daily core exercises (planks mostly) and ice, lots of ice. I feel better now than I did in my 30’s.
I'm 37 and I skate 3-4 times a week and what I find that help me to continue skating is eating right and no junk food and stretching everyday before and after. Protein shake and fruits in the morning and i lift a little bit of weights and bike a few miles per week and i quit drinking and smoking 😁 and I feel great. Great video!
Here is a tip for all of you: Go to Luan Oliveira's Instagram stories under "work outs". Those are some of the best exercises I have seen for skateboarders. Lot's of core, legs, stretches, explosive strength (to get that pop and handle impact) decompression (skating compresses the spine). I have my own little routines that I do using some of the stuff I learned from the Brazilian pros and combined with some traditional stuff. Squats, deadlifts, walking lunges, planking, etc.
@@littlebear2477 I tend to stretch after I skate so I don’t get sore ! Before I skate I stretch for about 10 minutes then start skating very lightly to warm up the legs.
@@aflotoosaucy4304 yeah I know that’s good but you also said before. ? So is it both ? I used to have to stretch after being on building sites for 8 hours plus otherwise I’d cramp up bad
Getting back into skateboarding is no joke. Just becasue you were able to do it easly in your teens and early 20's don't think you can still pull it off. Is been years since I skated seriously and once I actually picked up a board again it absolutly killed me. I wanted to skate a lot so I can get back into it as fast as possible and I payed the price. I was so freakin sore the next day,something I never felt not even when I was consantly going to the gym. Once the body was less sore,I ren into some lower back issues that wouldn't go away for days,everytime I wanted to skate harder and longer. So my advice would be,get into it slowly,stretch and take it seriously as if you are doing a serious sport. Just putting your board down and start ripping after years of not doing it will probably not happen on it's own.
The older you get, the easier you get injured & the more serious you have to be abt taking care of your body. I'm 47 w/ a fam, work, all of that & I still try to skate at least a couple times a week. But in order to do that, I have to do a serious disciplined stretch routine & calisthenics workout 2x a day. Otherwise, some stupid injury, that I used to recover from in 24hrs or less, will plague me for days or weeks. I do a 20 min Qi Gong routine, 10 min Kung Fu warmup (dynamic stretch) routine & a 15 min calisthenics workout, 2x a day (morning & evening). If I have time, I also like to go to the pool & do laps. It's a super low impact endurance workout that's easy on my old bones.
@@impossible_error No. The less you skate, the less you get injured. Unless of course, you're really f*cking clumsy, or you're prone to saying stupid shit that gets you punched in the face a lot.
@@rahGrebelsoulsound what the hell? The dude is kind of right. Skating a lot, within your abilities, will condition you to be more comfortable and confident on the board, preventing injuries.
I’m enjoying your channel. I’m 44, and have been skating off and on, and loving my current “on.” The biggest challenge is keeping my body healthy. Just have to love every minute, because I only have so many minutes in me per day.
You’re going to get all the older guys like me tell you that in your 30’s you have no idea 🤣 but honestly you are so right to be thinking about it now. I’m 42 and I wish I had taken my body condition more seriously 10 years ago I might be in better shape now. I’m finding a 10 minute UA-cam yoga session every morning is helping me massively especially the hip opener exercises. I had no idea how little hip flexibility I had until I pulled something a while back and started doing the yoga. After each 10 minute yoga session every morning I feel a million times better and I’m slowly gaining more flexibility in my whole body. It’s also very therapeutic for the mind so I’m highly recommending Yoga.
@@ZackDowdy cool the one I’m following is called Yogawithkassandra she’s really good and has a 30 day 10 minute a day plan which is great to start out 👍🏻
What your friend just said is so true... Your body has to be able to take slam and a good way to achieve that is to stay fit and skate often! The obvious, eat health and exercise is a big part of it. Skateboarding at older age is a huge mind game. Accepting your body limitations and weighing the risks is crucial. Injuries can take a long time to heal. I’m off the board for 6 months now and I have at least another 5 before I can get back on it again. Missing it like crazy! So doing the best to stay healthy and fit is the only way to carry on skating for longer. Made a video a few months ago about my personal experience dealing with injuries and skating at older age but you covered pretty much everything as well! Great video Zack! ✌️✌️✌️
I just started skating again and bought a quarter pipe last week and haven't even been able to skate it yet because I got home, looked at the yard, and thought "well that looks like shit and I'd be an asshole if I skate instead of do yardwork" and here I am, still sore from a few hours of work days later and haven't been able to skate since because my hamstrings hurt so much. I think the slamming part is right too. Ate shit twice last week and laughed it off because of how naturally I'm able to take a fall.
Skating forever tricks from a 36 year old: decide, wich ones are helpful ;-) a) since i started i was not very ambitious. so i keep my niveau easily. b) i always loved bonlesses footplants and stuff like this, where you can make "coffee brakes" and rethink if you will finish the trick or not. ;-) c) of course Yoga and pilates and stuff like that is good! flexibility training and streching is important (freestyle contests in my youth teached me to be flexi) d) better dont get fat with beer, fries ... like me. :-( e) fall in love with just rolling around, doin snakeruns, carving, pumptrakcs; enjoy the little things, feel rhythm of your wheels surfing your sidewalk.

I workout with kettlebells 3-4x a week. I used to think jump rope was the best conditioning for skateboarding, but man these kettlebells give me so much more calf, quad, hamstring, glute, core development. Been skating for 25+ years and I wish I would have added in strength training earlier on.
It definitely helps to be in decent shape. I'm 44, back into skating almost 2 months now. It hurts a lot less than it should since I've been in good shape.
I'm 41. I don't typically stretch before a skate, but I do ease into the session with some pushing around and basic tricks. I live in PA and I have to acclimate to the weather. That plays a big role. I'm also a sweaty guy, not big or out of shape, just sweaty. When summer first roles in, the warmer days keep me off the board. I'd rather skate when it's 45°. When things get real hairy, my BIL is a chiropractor.
Right there with you man! Gonna be 34 on July 15th. I've gotten into cardio kickboxing, which helps with endurance and durability, focus. Stretching and warming up has become a daily routine. A flexible muscle is a strong muscle! Helps with the slams and slips, as well as the pop, spin, and Balance. All this is backed up with 15 years of Ballet and Dance training!
I stretch. Full body neck/shoulders/chest/arms/legs/feet stretches. Then take some warm up laps just pushing and coasting. Im 48 and have to warm up. I also do deep knee bends and squats and planks, and heel lifts as a morning exercise when not skating that day.
Stretching is #1 in my book, but should probably eat healthier and quit smoking 💀 I twisted my knee to Hell on a Trampoline in my early 20's, never fully healed so I gotta wear a knee brace when skating, definitely helps a lot! Even so, I've bunged it pretty good a couple of times in the past 2 months... I chew Tumeric tablets to help with swelling in that case, and Epsom Salt baths are a friggin God send 😂 Sucks, but it's totally worth it to Skate, endless pit of Joy and Happiness there 🔥👍🔥
Omg that spot!! I do enjoy to stretch then cruising my polarizer for a bit and force myself to not really pop until I’m warmed up. Luckily, I can skate to my park And I’ll skate home switch to keep a good switch push and evenly conditioned , I’ll have to try the epson bath!
lunges(reverse, lateral, etc), squats, Romanian deadlifts, good mornings, box jumps, depth jumps, leg and knee raises, jumping rope for cardio, and calf raises are just a few things that will help your skating. stretch everyday before and after your workouts, getting a goodnights sleep is the best way for your body to recover from a hard day of skating or training. difference between dynamic stretching and static stretching is dynamic is controlled movements to get blood flowing to your muscles and static stretching is focusing on a particular part of the bodies ligament and joints attached to that muscle.
My dudes, ankle raises. Lift up on your toes, while standing straight up, as high as you can. You should feel it in your ankles. Do 3 sets of 10, then some ankle rotations. Works great and protects you from rolled ankles.
I'm 45, been skating since I was 12 and strength training and stretching has keep me going through injury and surgeries. Lifting weight and lots of iso-metric to prevent injury (no body building just maintenance and strength) . I also love the sauna 2-3 times a week and message gun almost everyday. Last, I can't skate everyday (that's hard to admit sometimes) So I also mountainbike, surf, SUP, hike and run to keep my body moving in other ways and it makes it easier to skate when I want to.
Everything T-bone said.. as I get older , skating when it's "skating time" and not running my mouth , muscles do get tight as a long pause between runs..
They say do dynamic warmup stretches before an activity and static stretches afterwards...I heard that you should not do static stretches with cold muscles or you are stretching ligaments...also heard that you need to hold a stretch for at least 45 seconds... something to do with the bodys response to the stretch and it doesnt actually start relaxing into the stretch until after the 30 second mark...
I’m 25 and have been skating most my life. As I’m getting older, I’m trying to be aware that I won’t be able to do it forever, if I don’t start preparing myself for older age. These are some things I’ve been working on, and have been seeing results... 1. Decrease the bad things into your body, increase the good. Cut out alcohol, smoking, and junk food. Not entirely, but cut parts of it out. Increase the amount of water and healthy foods you put it. 2. DO NOT STOP SKATING! EVER! Once you stop, it’s hard to get back into it. 3. STRETCH! Develop your own stretching routine, that takes at least five minutes. Do this first thing in the morning, mid day, before skating, during skating, after skating, and before bed. This will improve your skating, and your overall day in general. 4. CARDIO! Any and all cardio exercises. This can be jump rope, running, walking, or sprints. I’ve been doing stair workouts, which I recommend the most. It’ll help with coordination, and it really helps when you have to bail out of a trick. 5. CORE STRENGTH! Strengthen your core as much as possible. Sit ups, crunches, pull up, push ups, shrugs, curls, they’re all good. It’ll improve your overall balance, and it really helps doing manuals.
Core exercises every morning, ice and then heat lower back with reusable packs after every session and hot baths every few days. At 40 I gotta do everything I can to keep going.
Juice some pineapple , carrot, lemon, then 6 shakes of powdered turmeric, ginger, cheyanne , and black pepper , after skating this juice can help with muscle inflammation, all the hot spice stuff opens up your capillaries to let the turmeric and ginger do it’s work
I’m 42, skating on and off. Learning how to skate early mornings was hard, it’s hard to get pumped and get a vibe going. I gotta say, w so many spots around , I’m kinda feeling bad about watching skating on such a nice place like that. (Unless nothing is getting damaged)
Skating a spot that has skate stoppers is odd, good video, congrats on your marriage. Wearing pads, and stretching is the best advice, eat right and stay active, my 50 year old bones and muscles talk to me, and I listen!!!
If you keep slamming as an immunity, that’s going to handicap you faster than you age! Start taking BCAAs and performance collagen (liquid/mix) and you’re recovery time will subside, and your energy will be sustainable to skate better while preventing injury.
Cool skating but the video doesn't really provide any useful tips other than asserting you need to keep your body in good condition, especially as you get older. Falling a lot makes future falls not as bad, sure. You've been doing epsom salt baths lately, that's maybe tip #1. But then the other guy just says he does a few stretches. Doesn't elaborate at all. Definitely an important topic but it seems like a half-assed attempt at discussing it, just a video to show your friends skating this spot and peppering in a few seconds of what the video is actually supposed to be about.
Give me your tips for conditioning your body for skateboarding below!
Usually a good stretch before even touching my board and then once I’m on the board I warm up with Ollie, Fs 180, Bs 180 and kick/heel flips
I'm 44. I foam roll and stretch every morning, and most evenings. I run 5 times a week, with some weight training 3 times a week. I get to skate about 4-5 times a week, fully padded with a helmet all the time. It hurts a lot less.

@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol YEAH! Vitamins and eating healthy go a long way.
@@jasonmountain4643 I've heard great things about squats and using kettle bells
When you're almost 50 the "warm up" becomes the session, but it's all good, just gotta try to stay on, lol!

4. CARDIO! Any and all cardio exercises. This can be jump rope, running, walking, or sprints. I’ve been doing stair workouts, which I recommend the most. It’ll help with coordination, and it really helps when you have to bail out of a trick.
5. CORE STRENGTH! Strengthen your core as much as possible. Sit ups, crunches, pull up, push ups, shrugs, curls, they’re all good. It’ll improve your overall balance, and it really helps doing manuals.
That corduroy jacket is killer
Just found your channel man, new subscriber here. :)
Thanks Bradley!🤘
Core exercises every morning, ice and then heat lower back with reusable packs after every session and hot baths every few days. At 40 I gotta do everything I can to keep going.
Lol, I love it when skatestoped stuff gets seshed
Juice some pineapple , carrot, lemon, then 6 shakes of powdered turmeric, ginger, cheyanne , and black pepper , after skating this juice can help with muscle inflammation, all the hot spice stuff opens up your capillaries to let the turmeric and ginger do it’s work
That’s the sickest spot ever 🔥
deym, TBone is still doing it
I don't skate much but I take epsom salt baths before I play hockey or use a massage gun to loosen my body up.
Tell T Bone I still have his San Francisco X Games warm up on Camcorder tape 🙌🏾
I’m 42, skating on and off. Learning how to skate early mornings was hard, it’s hard to get pumped and get a vibe going.
I gotta say, w so many spots around , I’m kinda feeling bad about watching skating on such a nice place like that. (Unless nothing is getting damaged)
I live in SD where’s this spot at brother?
Skating a spot that has skate stoppers is odd, good video, congrats on your marriage. Wearing pads, and stretching is the best advice, eat right and stay active, my 50 year old bones and muscles talk to me, and I listen!!!
What's the music that starts at 4.34 in the clip?
I like the smooth surfy musik at the end... :-)
I have a question for you sir. What do you eat and drink usually that helps with your energy and not getting worn out too quickly?
I don't have a strict diet, but I'm big on cooking at home. No fast food ever, no soda, etc.. I would say I'm on more of a keto diet if any.
@@ZackDowdy Pretty cool dude. I appreciate it
Congratulations!
Weightlifting will help any sport.
If you keep slamming as an immunity, that’s going to handicap you faster than you age!
Start taking BCAAs and performance collagen (liquid/mix) and you’re recovery time will subside, and your energy will be sustainable to skate better while preventing injury.
I didnt know the meaning of Skate or Die until I turned 40 .its rigth quit skating everything fail.go back to it you will live a long life .
As a man whos had trouble with my ankles if I don’t wear my ankle brace it’s gonna be a bad day
Dude slammed his eyebrows right off
Me: “if guy doesn’t say epsom salt baths…”
Empty bowels , stretch routine , massage gun on legs. So all the 180s shuv its and flip tricks
46 next week...it aint getting better 😉✊
Congrats on the Marriage 💯😎🙏
Regimented!
Look up skate athletics he's got great exercises for skating
The one person who dislike this video must be a 🛴 😂
Cool skating but the video doesn't really provide any useful tips other than asserting you need to keep your body in good condition, especially as you get older. Falling a lot makes future falls not as bad, sure. You've been doing epsom salt baths lately, that's maybe tip #1. But then the other guy just says he does a few stretches. Doesn't elaborate at all. Definitely an important topic but it seems like a half-assed attempt at discussing it, just a video to show your friends skating this spot and peppering in a few seconds of what the video is actually supposed to be about.
I highly recommend the mobility program by @kneesovertoesguy. I’m 33 and it made it possible for me to pick up skating again.
