About summer snowboarding workouts
Posted by admin under Ski and Snowboard, Videos
Every year, after my first day riding, I regret not having worked-out during summer but this year will be different! I decided to actually train in prevision of next season.
After reading quite a bit on the topic, it seems like there are two main actions boarders can take during summer to make getting back on the board easier.
- The first one might sound obvious: during summer, stay active! Ride your mountain bike or try mountainboarding, swim or windsurf, hike or go mountain climbing! These sports might not put all muscles essential to snowboarding to work, but they all constitute a good workout.
- When specifically training for snowboarding, three groups of floor exercises deserve equal attention: push-ups, sit-ups/crunches and jumps/squats.
You should not wait too long to start, I heard there is good riding to be done as early as November in Tignes, France, Saas-Fee, Switzerland and Hintertux, Austria.
Here’s a workout suggestion that looks good to me:
