Skateboarding is for bums? Take a good look at the professional skateboarder’s body. Have you seen, in his MTV show, Ryan Sheckler shirtless? He’s got a well toned body. The guy is stringy but is ripped like Brad Pitt! Imagine that. Take a good guess at which physical activity can be most attributed to his ripped abs: skateboarding. How can skateboarding get you the muscles you want? Read on then to discover the facts and great exercise techniques to get ripped like Ryan Sheckler shirtless.
Keeping balanced is not as easy as it looks. Balancing on a skateboard is much harder because you need to shift your body’s weight left and right, forwards and backwards. Remember that you are supporting a lot of your weight. Therefore, all the work of supporting your upper body in this way funnels down falls to your torso, your abs, then to your legs. Your arms also play some role when shifting your weight. If you are starting to learn skateboarding, you’ll be spending hours and hours supporting and shifting your weight. More so, you are doing this unconsciously. Before you know it, you’re already addicted to the fun of skateboarding and you’ve been unwittingly working out your abs and legs for hours on end. Now, imagine how it would be if you start trying out and mastering progressively harder skateboard tricks one at a time. You’d be spending more and more hours, and you’ll also be using more muscles since these tricks are really hard to do. That’s exactly why those professional skaters like Ryan Sheckler, shirtless and sweating, look like they’ve been working out so hard in the gym.
