Power, Core and Flexibility

Today we focused more on power, core and flexibility. We warmed up with burpees, swings and sit-ups with a plate. Burpees and swings involve a ton of power and core work. The sit-ups involve basic core strength. The ability to be able to not use your upper body and really use your core lower body to project the weight. We then did seven stations with a mix of core, agility and power. Then we did an exercise that I have been doing lately that I feel really helps for skiing and snowboarding because it gets the lateral movement and the upward force that you need to be able to generate on the hill. We ended with 15 minutes of Yoga to losen up the muscles that worked really hard during the workout. I think flexibility is very important in skiing, because you need to be able to bend certain ways if you take a crash.
