Courtney Conlogue in Workout Gear Dances, Says "Let it Flow"
Courtney Conlogue, an American pro surfer, posted her dancing and vibing in nature on Instagram captioned, "who else does this in nature? Raise your hand haha 🤷♀️🤣🙋♀️💃 #letitflow." The California native started surfing at a very young age, leading to her being the youngest on the USA Junior Surf Team. She has the same vibrant energy, drive, and dedication, when it comes to approaching her health and wellness routine. Here are some habits she's formed to stay in great shape.
She enjoys surfing
Of course, surfing is a big part of her workout routine. It takes practice! "I love the elements of nature and its unpredictability. I also love how surfing brings you to travel the world and explore with sport," she said to Surfgirl Magazine. "Of course I love it or else I wouldn't do it. Surfing is what I am meant to do. I have loved it since the start. I think any athlete is stoked when they can do their sport for a living."
Her health is important to her
Her health is always at the forefront of her mind. "My health is very important to me," Conlogue said. "Of course, what I eat has a direct affect on how I am feeling, my personal performance, mental focus and awareness, training routines, energy levels, sleep patterns, and quality of life."
She works on her strength
She works on developing her strength. "I do a lot of various exercises and I spend a lot of time staying fit to prevent injury and to be physically and mentally prepared for my events. I took up prone paddling after my ankle injury. It's incredible for upper body strength and endurance. I'm going to keep up with it because I really enjoy it very much," she said.
She keeps her workouts interesting
She likes to mix up her workouts. "I do many different exercises with weights, TRX bands, stability work, core strength routines, cycling, swimming, etc. I go to a gym that specializes in gymnastics too. There are many different ways a surfer can increase their abilities in the sport. The list actually goes on and on! I enjoy trying new things and discovering other alternatives to keep it exciting and evolving," she said.
She stays in the moment during competitions
She aims to stay in the moment. "To be honest I just focus on the moment at hand and being in the now just before my heat. Of course there are several things I do the morning of the event to get my body ready. I always have a warm up session the morning before the call of the day. There are many routines with different equipment to ready my muscles and mind. Since my ankle injury many of those routines have changed and I've learned a lot about doing things smart," she said.
