Still a month to go, Sergio always looks similar to this at this stage.

He also naturally stores fat at his obliques, not a problem.

Whats the skate board type thing?

It's an improvised balance board.

From a ring magazine article:

Martinez used to train on the Oxnard marina using a surf board and a paddle to simply stay afloat and keep his balance, strengthening his knees and ankles in the process, but his legendary fear of water has turned his attention to what he sees as a safer contraption.

“I am also using a sort of skateboard, but attached to the ground, mounted on a single spring axis. [The process is] called proprioception. The strengthening of the muscles is really noticeable."
