Ash's email to Dad and I to prepare for our up-coming trip:
Pre-Surf Exercises To Do At Work:
1. Peddle Paddle! Work those little feetbunnies. Oh yes, those ankles/achilles and toes will be going through a mini marathon each day out to the waves. Start your paddling under your desks now!
2. Shoulder rolls. Oh yeah. You don't need Suzzanne Summers and a torn 1 shoulder-sweatshirt with purple headband bridling back a brigade of renegade teased bangs to give this a comeback. Everybody roll, roll, roll those shoulders (forwards + backwards) to loosen up the delts/rotar cuffs now.
3. Hot Chair! Put hands on either side of chair + lift bunda up. Alternate corners of chair hands are braced. Wrists/forearms need to be flexible for curling them in the "omigosh how big is that wave?" position around the corners of surfboard.
4. As you sit in chair: Put both feet flat on ground- pretend you're going to get up- STOP 4" into you actually standing up. Now keep typing/emailing, working, talking, working the quads, answering phones, working quads, etc. etc. Hold for as long as you can. Then know that I held it 10 seconds longer.
While making chuck norris cry (after beating him at arm wrestling). But it's ok, because now we can cure cancer w/ the tears.
5. Practice holding breath. Don't tell co-workers. See how long you can go w/out audible response. If they even start to infiltrate your secret lung training method- just point to throat + shake head No, like you've lost your voice. Never Surrender! And know this: I held it 10 seconds longer.
6. Dive on desk, clearing all debris w/ one arm swoop, incorporating all techniques from 1-5 and Stand!
7. Pick up papers/personals into box as boss just fired you.
