Power and Core

Today we focused a bit on power doing some clean squats with the kettlebells, the agility ladder, we then moved into leg blasters which we have been training the last 6 weeks. This is one of my favorite exercises and I notice it the most in my skiing. Eccentric training I believe is some of the best type of training for skiing because it really accnetuates the real ski or snowboard turn. Anything done eccentrically will really help with the top to bottom runs and not feeling the burn as much and being stronger through the entire turn. We ended with some core strengthening exercises at the end.
