5 tips for improving your Mountain Skiing / Snowboarding Skills
Writer Jordan Glaser was one of the fortunate ones to experience the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, early in his teens.
After about 20 years of frequent injuries on snowboarding and hockey, he walked in and out of the gym for rehabilitation and eventually set foot here. It is also well known as a "hard trainer" for many Whistler locals passionate about mountain sports.
Hello. My name is Jordan Glacer and I have a fitness center in Whistler. I have a question that I have been constantly working with over the past 10 years.
“What should I do to prepare for the ski season?”
As a coach and trainer, this is a good question that will not let you relax. You have to work hard to meet the demands of skiers and snowboarders who run on the mountain all winter.
In conclusion, there is no royal road. The only thing that you can do to improve your fitness is from summer. But there are great ways to improve your fitness through fitness. Through hard training in the gym, you'll be better prepared for the upcoming ski season. This winter we have five tips to take your riding to the next level. (And also how to stay healthy all season!)
Tip # 1: Squat with arms over head
Ski / snowboarding requires a body and posture that fits in a number of intense situations while riding. Do not follow exercises that are common in the gym. The basis of training is as much movement and functional exercise as possible. This will help you build strong stamina for skiing and snowboarding, and avoid the moments of crisis you'll encounter while riding.
Don't squat with 'ski posture'. If you're skiing to some extent, your ski muscles are already well developed. Instead, squat like an athlete. Like an athlete who wants to overcome limitations, turn weaknesses into strengths, and eliminate body imbalances. A perfect squat posture, in itself, should be your goal. It's simple but the most important rule.
Tip # 2: Heavy posture flank
Your core muscles are still lacking. Even if it's not, you have to be yourself and train. Any athlete with a significant development of core muscles can still offer thousands of core enhancement programs. Why? This is because more core exercises are more effective to strengthen the core muscles than to do exercises in areas where there is less strength.
Most people think that core exercise is something special, but it's not. The role of the core muscles-like raising your upper body-is not to bend over and over repeatedly, but to support your entire body firmly. Ride for hours with your bag and suddenly encounter a shower or think you'll hit a big snowball in front of you during a sprint. The best way to do that is to use a strong resistance flank. Exercise in a flank position with a heavy weight on your back.
Tip # 3: stretching (especially couch stretching)
Forget about all the exercise you've done so far. If you talk to athletes who have been on top for a long time, you'll see that they're just as concerned about muscle relaxation as with intense training. Training to relax muscles can take many forms and can be expensive, but the simplest and easiest way is stretching. Trust me because it's all from my experience.
Stretching is the oldest way of exercising. Think back to the “national gymnastics,” which you often used to do. (Aren't you already wanting to stretch while reading this?) Among them, 'Couch Stretch' is useful for all skiers. It holds the hip writing group and the femoral sadhu side by side. These muscles are often used when skiing or walking around wearing ski boots, so these are areas you need to manage every day. Don't neglect to stretch before you get physical therapy or massage. Stretching not only softens your muscles, it also keeps you in good shape.
TIP # 4 Jumping Side to Side
The wider you run, the better. It's the same context as tip one above. One of the things I say most often to people in the fitness center is 'Please stand wider!'. Most people spread their legs as wide as they usually stand when skiing. That's why I want to open my legs wider. Likewise, squat and lunge with your feet wide. Even if the rest of your posture is correct, narrowing your stride length will prevent imbalances in your femoral quadriceps, the most important muscles on a real ski / snowboard, and also help strengthen the rest of your muscles.
As mentioned in team 1, it's important to balance the entire muscle. Spreading your legs apart strengthens your hips (in flexors), the inner thighs (internal muscles), and the back (flexions). Stimulate these muscles with a dynamic workout and you'll sweat.
Tip # 5: immersion
Once you've terminated your gym membership, you'll need to challenge yourself. It's easier than you think! When you ride on the mountain, you often feel physical pain. Training with those moments. That doesn't mean you have to exercise for a long time. If you overdo it, it will only make your body harder. If you like running, jump uphill, but you don't have to do more than an hour. The same is true at the gym. You don't have to train for 2-3 hours. Instead, concentrate and immerse yourself for an hour.
