Read MoreIf you are not used to being out on the water, an extended fishing trip can feel more taxing on the body than initially expected. While the best thing to do is to get more experience on the water, there are some smaller things you can do prior to heading out that can make things slightly better for you. What suggestions do you have for staying comfortable on the water? Feel free to text me at 305-930-7346….

Read MoreIn this installment of Physical Friday, I go over the ways that I was able to progress towards the full lie back quad stretch. This is one of the more difficult stretches from Joe Hippensteel’s Ultimate Human Performance. Achieving the full lie back position was very difficult for me but the work was worth it as my knee pain from Patellar tendinitis has disappeared.
We can get very tight in the quads and hip flexors from sitting too much. This stretch has helped me to get back to running and feeling my best. For more info on Joe’s program that I have been doing for 1 1/2 years check the links below
Read MoreFishermen are notorious for having back problems. It is a very physical activity that often requires heavy lifting and carrying heavy things. This can cause issues, however the big issue that has caused back problems for me has been all the sitting. Long drives to fishing locations, long rides on the boat and often a week of sitting in the office waiting to go fishing on the weekend can be the cause of chronic low back pain. When we sit for long periods we get “short’ in the front of the hip which can cause issues in the low back. This week we discuss 3 crucial stretches for taking care of those tight hips. 3The first stretch that I go over I call the helm stretch because I do it while standing at the helm of my boat all the time. You can use anything of the right height to do this stretch. I use two coolers for this example, but it is easy to find a gunnel or lean post on your boat that is the perfect height. The second stretch is the couch stretch. You can do this while you watch TV or with any item about the height of a couch. The third stretch is the lying hamstring stretch. I use any type of strap or band that I can find to do this stretch. All three of these are great ways to avoid or reduce lower back pain, and increase the time that you can spend out on the water.
