When you’re skating every day and putting your body through stair sets, rails, and rough landings, staying healthy takes more than just stretching and good luck.
Plan B pro skater Chris Joslin recently shared a look into something that doesn’t get talked about as much in skateboarding, which is his personal vitamin supplement routine.
In a YouTube video, Joslin walks through the vitamins and supplements that he takes to help with recovery and overall health.
He lists basics like fish oil for omega-3, glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and more. He gives a straightforward breakdown of what works for him.
These supplements, according to Joslin, help his body stay ready for long days of skating and dealing with constant impact.
The 28-year-old makes it clear that he is not giving medical advice. He said, “I’m no doctor. This is just what I’ve found works for me. Consult a doctor before trying any of these if you plan to.”
He’s simply letting people in on what helps him personally after years of skating hard and managing pain and recovery along the way.
For skaters who are curious about how to take care of their bodies off the board, it is definitely worth watching the video.
Even if you do not end up taking the same things, it is cool to hear what someone at Joslin’s level is doing to stay skating longer.
Check out the video and see what you can learn from it. You might pick up a few ideas to bring into your own routine.
