Well here we are again on a Friday. Two weeks left in the year and it will be time to start with a clean slate. Time to apply all the things we learned about ourselves in 2010. It will be time to step up to the next level.
But right now it's time for the next installment on getting you ready for ski season. An opportunity for me to share with you the process that will keep you healthy for the entire season so you can enjoy what you love doing -- skiing, snowboarding or ice skating.
First we started with the all important self-massage. You have to get the muscles properly warmed-up, prepared, to work before you can do anything. Then last week I shared with you some important stretches to make sure you're flexible and your range of motion is improved. Ice, snow and generally unstable surfaces are nothing to play with. So now you should be ready for the next stage in your preparation for a heck of an active winter season.
This week I will share with you the next stage in training properly for a successful winter-fun season. The all important core/abs. That will be followed by some new movements such as single leg exercises, and a host of lunges to make sure your hips are flexible and stable in various positions.
So let's do a little review first shall we? Let's make sure the proper core work is being done so that that area is prepared to handle the challenging leg exercises that are to follow. I know, too many people like to just skip over this part of their preparation, believing that it is really not all that important. But let me assure you, a strong core is by far one of the most important pieces to being physically fit for any activity.
Next week let's blast those hips and legs.
