Ski/Snowboard Week 2

This week we progressed the leg blasters from 4 mini leg blasters to 6 mini leg blasters. We continued to focus on balancing and stabilizing the body through strength and endurance. I had the athletes do a timed work capacity to measure their core strength, upper body, agility and endurance. They will retest at the end of the 6 weeks to see how much they improve in those areas. Everyone pushed themselves out of their comfort zone and times ranged from 12 minutes to 26 minutes. It will be interesting to see how everyone improves.

SKI-SNBRD FITNESS WEEK 1 DAY 1 & 2 WORKOUTS

Step-ups and Ladder drills
The first week of ski/snowboard fitness is complete! Day 1 was a combination between work capacity and leg blasters. I started everyone with a tough work capacity with 8 stations of 1 minute intervals involving core, agility and endurance. This is a great starting point for everyone to measure their beginning fitness entering the class. The second half we focused on the eccentric and concentric loading of the legs through the leg blaster. This exercise will progress over the next 6 weeks starting with 4 mini leg blasters and progressing to 6 full leg blasters by the end. Day 2 I worked on a combination of power through the box jump and strengthening the upper body and hamstrings. The upper body sometimes tends to get neglected when training for skiing, but it is very important for injury prevention.
