Fitness Tip: How to Pick the Right Yoga Style for You

October 9, 2019 By LoveSurf

Yoga’s physical benefits include increased flexibility, balance and muscle tone, to name a few. The practice also enhances mental health by offering a rare escape from multitasking and a great way for people of all ages to practice letting go of stress. Yoga is definitely for everyone, but there are various styles of Yoga to pick from. Choose the one that’s best for you. Vinyasa What it is: Vinyasa Yoga is characterized by fluid movements and frequent switching between different poses, which raises the heart rate. It makes for a great hour of cardio. Who it’s for: Good for those who don’t like doing the same poses every week, since vinyasa teachers generally change the routine for each class. Hatha What it is: Hatha is a general term for yoga that focuses on physical poses as a way toward self-realization. A hatha class is likely to be traditional, gentle (depending on the teacher), and often incorporates focused-breathing exercises and meditation. Who it’s for: Great for those who want to experience yoga’s mental benefits. Ashtanga What it is: One of the most demanding types of yoga, ashtanga incorporates fast-paced cardio with strength training. Unlike vinyasa, ashtanga yoga uses a set sequence of poses and is usually…

The Look Good in Your Leggings Workout

September 17, 2015 By LoveSurf

Fall is right around the corner and that means it’s time to make the switch from bikinis and short shorts to leggings and skinny jeans. We know how much we love wearing leggings just about everywhere (even if it’s not while working out!) I think we can all agree that leggings are a wardrobe essential, especially in the fall. At LoveSurf, we want to make sure you feel confident and look good from every angel when you slip into your favorite pair. How it works: Try adding these 4 moves to your routine up to four days per week. Do sets back to back with no rest between moves. Repeat the full circuit 3 times total, resting 60-90 seconds between rounds.What you’ll need: Bench or step | 8-10 lb. weights | Water! Scroll through to see some of our must-do moves to lift, shape, and define your lower half. Step Ups. This is one of the best butt exercises you can do to work on strength, power, and balance all at the same time. It targets the main large muscles of the legs, particularly the glutes and hamstrings, and really helps in giving you a toned, lifted booty. Stand upright with one foot on a bench or step, holding weights (8-10lbs.) by your sides with…

How to Start the Day on a Happy Note

August 3, 2015 By LoveSurf

Having a bad morning will can easily put you in a bad mood and tends to send equal bad vibes for pretty much the rest of the day. It is so important to start the day on a happy note and focus on ways that you can organize your morning to be more calm, unhurried, and set the state for a more positive day ahead. Getting a good night’s sleep, exercising and eating a healthy breakfast will make the early hours of the day have you feeling most productive and inspired. Check out 10 ways to have a happier morning and set the stage for a great day ahead. A side benefit? You just might discover that your energetic vibes rub off on everyone around you, too!

Fit Tip: Foam Rolling Exercises for Surfers

July 27, 2015 By LoveSurf

How it works: Foam rolling helps break up muscle tightness that can cause mobile restrictions in your body. It increases blood flow to soft tissue allowing muscles to fire at peak efficiency during exercise. When used correctly, foam rolling your muscles releases tension, knots and tightness, while improving flexibility, strength, and muscle release. It decreases injury and leads to faster muscle recovery so you won’t feel sore days after a weekend surf session. How to Foam Roll:  Foam rolling can be done before or after exercise. Foam rolling works great before stretching. Let your body weight push down on the roller and roll up and down the muscle. Focus on any trigger points (knots in the muscle). Roll on each area for 30-60 seconds (or longer if you need). Don’t roll over bones or joints. Don’t roll on recently injured areas. Hamstrings: Flexibility in the lower body is essential for full mobility of the entire body.Tightness in the hamstrings or hip flexors can hinder your ability to maintain balance and center of gravity while digging in during your turns or sticking an air or floater. Loosening up the hamstrings can help reduce back pain after surfing, and help you feel better while on the wave by mobilizing your pelvis.…

“We Are LOVESURF”

June 21, 2015 By LoveSurf

Proudly Presenting our Short Film “We are LOVESURF.”  Embracing our California roots and active beach culture, we strive to promote health, happiness, and inspiration throughout everything we do from sunrise to sunset. Our Swim-to-Gym active line is for the girl who seeks non-stop adventure whether she’s on land or in the sea. The concept behind the Swim-to-Gym collection is simple, comfortable and stylish pieces to be worn in and out of the water. Each piece is quick-drying, packable and functional, perfect for those who like to take a dip in the ocean after a beach run. Our short film was shot in the heart of San Clemente by the talented folks at the Wonderland Group and produced by Agency GLOW. Our goal was to perfectly capture the LOVESURF lifestyle. “We are LOVESURF” encapsulates the day in the life of the LOVESURF girl, starting off her day well before sunrise and continuing a happy and active life into the twilight hours. Huge props to our model Rayne Gourley who braved the freezing ocean water and was up before dawn to perfectly embody the LOVESURF lifestyle. It was amazing to watch the breathtaking, cotton candy sunrise to kick off the first scene of the short film. Rayne was such a pleasure to work with and…

Two DIY Homemade Energy Bar Recipes

October 15, 2013 By LoveSurf

Making your own energy bars will not only save a few bucks, but these bars are a lot healthier than any you’ll find at a store. Homemade bars tend to be better fuel for your workout since they don’t contain any preservatives or artificial sweeteners. They’re super easy, too. Here are two different recipes, one chocolatey and one fruity, with the option to make them chewy bars or crunchy. Enjoy! Crunchy peanut butter, chocolate granola bars from Emma Christensen, TheKitchn.com Note: Double the rice syrup in this recipe if you’d prefer chewy bars. Makes 8 large or 16 small bars. Ingredients: ½ cup unsalted peanuts, chopped 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats 1 ½ cups crispy rice cereal 1/3 cup brown rice syrup 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon salt 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 1. Heat the oven to 325 F. Line an 8- by 8-inch baking pan with parchment so the ends hang over the sides of the pan. A little cooking spray helps hold the parchment in place. 2. Combine the peanuts and rolled oats on a baking sheet. Toast until the nuts are fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Combine the nuts, oats…
