THE ESSENTIAL MOVEMENT AND STRETCHES FOR LIFE

MOVEMENT
WELCOME

My name is Rodrigo B. Perez, Creator of the Surf Movement training method.

Over the last 2 decades, I realised that an increasing number of people of all ages and
backgrounds abandon an active life due to injuries, a stressful lifestyle, poor diet, or
they reached a plateau in their sports career. I see these people falling into two kinds
of categories: the professional athletes, who compete and make a living from their
sport, and those who I call ‘life athletes’. The ‘life athletes’ are those who, despite not
making a living from their sport, need to balance their workload with family time, their
social lives and the activities they love. Whether you are a ‘life athlete’, a professional
one or a coach, the reality is that we all need to look after our bodies and minds so
that we can live an optimum, pain-free, productive, and playful life.
I have spent the past few weeks writing this program with love and passion for you
legends and look forward to hearing about your results and improvement. Please
share your feedback with us and don’t be shy to ask any questions should you have
them.

Everything you need to know about the program will be explained over the next few
pages. I hope that you enjoy your new journey and take your surfing to the next level!
If you have any questions please contact me on surfmovementonline@gmail.com
