I recently searched online for training programs for the winter sports of skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing. Not surprisingly there are a ton of these programs available and a lot of them are pretty good. Basically, you need to focus on lower body strength, core strength and endurance with some upper body strength exercises thrown in for good measure. Of course, there is more nuance to these programs than I am describing but the big picture for the avid winter sports nut is to get your lower body and core very strong. As I browsed the different programs though, a thought occurred to me. What type of training should one do to compliment the body’s adaptations to these winter sports? That is to say, if I am snowboarding, skiing, or cross country skiing, 2-3 days a week this winter, what should I do to balance out the muscles/motions that I am using in those activities?
