5 Highlights from Taro's 30-Day Fitness Journey
1. Morning Movements that Energise Like Sunrise Waves
Starting your day with gentle movements to wake up your body sets the tone for hours of improved energy.
Taro’s morning stretch sequence mimics the flow of ocean waves and includes yoga stretches and joint rotations that he’s learnt from his dear friend, Bubbles the Koala, to gradually warm up the body.
These movements require no equipment and can be done beside your bed, making them perfect for fitness newcomers.
2. Beach Walker Basics for Low-Impact Cardio Success
Walking—especially on sand—provides natural resistance while being gentle on joints.
Taro’s beach walking tips transform this simple activity into effective cardio that strengthens ankles, calves, and stabilising muscles.
Learn proper form, pacing techniques, and mindful walking practices that make each step count toward better fitness. Remember, there are always gentle slower options and different levels to take – your body, your pace!
3. Bodyweight Exercises That Build Strong Foundations
Taro needs strength to paddle through breaking waves, so he’s incorporated foundational strength movements for your fitness journey.
Discover modified versions of classic exercises that work with your current ability level while progressively building power.
Taro’s no-equipment-needed movements ensure you can practise these movements where ever you are.
4. Recovery Techniques Inspired by Tidal Rhythms
The ocean continually flows between activity and calm.
Taro’s recovery methods teach beginners the crucial art of rejuvenation between workouts.
Learn foam rolling techniques, gentle stretching sequences, and relaxation practices that prevent injury and support your strength and muscle gains. Master working out and recovery and your body will love you for it!
