Snowboarding!

Right well my Cricket season has finished for the year along with my training, i doubt our pre season training will be till Feb 09, although we do have an indoor cricket league which we have enetered two teams in!

But i'm off snowboarding for a couple of weeks in FEB, What can i do to train for it?

any particular excercises?

thanks
 
Re: Snowboarding!

Squats, lunges and core to improve balance and support the back.

Working on a stability ball is a great way to prepare for any activity that needs great balance and coordination.

It's always good to learn how to fall properly too :D Improve your flexibility so that when [sorry.. if] you fall, your joints will be able to give a little before anything gets broken.

Thanks liz,

ive been boarding for 3 years now, so still learning!

forgive my ignorance, but what can you do with a stability ball apart from stand on it?

i'm not to bad at falling! used to diving around on the floor! but i will be strapping up my fingers as you already know they are knackered!
 
Re: Snowboarding!

There is so much you can do with a ball...

...can you stand on a ball?

Kneeling is good if you can't, especially if you challenge your balance; you could put on or take off a jumper whilst kneeling.

Tricep dips off the ball are great and side raises will help strengthen your back and obliques. Press ups are great [thinking of falling!]

Yeah - do the real thing - Surf! Or get yourself a skateboard. Learn one of those and you might be able to do it to some extent, but honestly with the amount of snow here in the UK you're wasting your time surely?
