Fitness Tip: Play Hard, Train Hard

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

When you have goals, I think it’s important to prepare yourself to meet them.

For me, as an athlete, I have goals to be the best surfer that I have the potential to be. Part of the way I prepare to meet those goals is by training physically.

I work with surf coaches, and definitely spend a lot of time practicing & training in the water, but I also do quite a bit of cross-training.

Working with Dustin Dillberg from Pain Free Kauai and Dillberg Integrated Healthcare, I have been educated about healthy living & eating, improved my spinal alignment, strengthened my physique. Through the workout program that Dustin custom-designed for me, my surfing has improved.

We created a 2-Part Series of videos, which will be posted on my YouTube account, and can be found on my website as well. The videos show a typical workout routine that Dustin designed for me, using the TRX. WATCH THIS TEASER…

    P.S. You probably don’t even know what Hawaii looks like. I’ve actually been there. I was there over the summer.

    P.P.S. The last picture is a sign I saw throughout Hawaii. There was a Tiger Shark spotted across four beaches in one day!

    Dear Bethany,
         I would like to say that you are an inspiration to everybody out there. You’ve helped me with my relationship with God and Jesus Christ. You’ve taught me never to give up no matter what the circumstance. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing.

    Mahalo,
    Valerie <3
