This week, Oscar is back to give an update on his first week of being under lockdown, provides his book recommendations and goes back to teaching the basics of paddling and answers your questions.Oscar's lockdown tips and book recommendations this week: Be sure you're educating yourself on how to eat properly because it's very easy to stay home and eat non-stop. Spend your time educating yourself or reading about proper diet. One of the books you should read is Real Food on Trial: How the Diet Dictators Tried to Destroy a Top Scientist by Marika Sboros. You should also read The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday.When it comes to choosing a paddle, there are several things you need to consider:How strong you are,How tall you are,Your techniqueYour boat's widthThe height of your seat, and The distance you're going to raceThe old method suggests that your paddle length should be as long as your height to your fingertips when you're standing and reaching up. But this not necessarily accurate now. You should choose an adjustable paddle as well so that you can cater to all of your paddling needs as you go.The brace stroke is the most important technique to perfect because of the following reasons:It keeps your balance. It's also the most relaxed stroke. It also starts the forward stroke. Keep your shaft parallel to your chest and your opposite hand and knee at 45 degrees. Learn to open your hands and put your weight and have the boat tilted slightly towards the brace.Remember Oscar's number one advice: Techniques is what makes you go faster, so practice your techniques.To get access to more than 50 technique and drill videos along with more than 25 training plans for all abilities signup to Oscar's club herehttps://www.coachchalupsky.com/signupGet free access to one of Oscar's 5 part video series herehttps://www.coachchalupsky.com/free-video-seriesOr purchase Oscar's premium video series here.https://www.coachchalupsky.com/oscar-s-premium-video-series

Oscar is back and ready to take on the world, in spite of his circumstance or Covid-19. In fact, he's got some recommendations to keep yourself busy under lockdown and will be answering all your paddling questions and goes back to teaching the basics.This week's Recommended Reads by Oscar:Unbroken - by Laura HillenbrandBoys on a Boat - by Daniel James Brown21 Day Lockdown suggestions- make the most of it- don't eat too much- watch a little TV- communicate with your loved ones- do podcasts or something to keep busyTake on your situation and think of only the positive parts.1) What training to do if you can't get into the water?- You can do all the static exercises, but the most important to do is train your brain. Read. Start breathing properly. No matter what, find a way to relax. Skipping, push-ups, planks and sit-ups are also great exercises to do. 2) Recommended strength exercise without equipment?- Push ups, but tri to move your hands back further and further. And you can always have your wife sit on your back when you do the push-ups. 3) When doing downwind, surfski always turns to the left.Most boats will turn towards the wind, but if it's always turning to the left, there are two reasons: 1) you're a right pedal paddler and bracing on the left hand side. If you lean left, your boat will turn to the left. Practice bracing right. And make sure you're always on top of the wave.To get access to more than 50 technique and drill videos along with more than 25 training plans for all abilities signup to Oscar's club herehttps://www.coachchalupsky.com/signupGet free access to one of Oscar's 5 part video series herehttps://www.coachchalupsky.com/free-video-seriesOr purchase Oscar's premium video series here.https://www.coachchalupsky.com/oscar-s-premium-video-series
