Have you gotten lazy over the summer? Have you been watching too much MTV and eating junk food as you bask in the sun's rays? Well, winter is just around the corner and it is time to get fit for the season. In the September Volume 23 issue of Transworld Snowboarding, Jonas Michilot explains how he gets his legs back after summer, " I try to keep my legs moving all summer: skating, soccer, swimming, biking, climbing trees. I try to stay outside most of the time - shaving/leg waxing can't hurt either." While these are valid points Michilot makes, I think there is a bit more we can do to beef up those thighs.
One program I would recommend is Parisi. Parisi is a program offered at MVP Athletic Club in Rockford, MVP Fieldhouse in Grand Rapids, and MVP Holland. Parisi is specifically developed to train athletes. The student can tell the trainer which sport they would like to train for and the trainer will develop exercises to increase strength, power, and agility in the particular sport. These trainers are not afraid to be tough so be prepared to sweat!
I would also highly recommend trying yoga or palates. These two practices strengthens the core and improve flexibility and balance, all of which are guaranteed to make you a more solid rider. Get on the web and find a yoga studio near you! For more information visit: www.parisischool.com.
None of theses ideas suit you? At least get out there and get moving. Get a gym membership to work on exercises at your own pace, swim some laps in a pool while it is still warm out, or simply get on your pedal bike to work on your cardio and Get Pumped!
