 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Folks! It's been awhile since I've posted here. I was working on a snow sport fitness book over the summer. Now that it's finished, I have time to chat with my friends from across the pond. I noticed in another thread that many of you now have the Bosu. Here are some training ideas:
Bosu Bridges
1. Turn the Bosu platform-side up.
2. Lie on your back, placing your feet hip width apart at the center
of the Bosu.
3. Inhale to prepare.
4. Exhale as you extend your spine to a bridge.
5. At the top, inhale in preparation.
6. Exhale as you rock the Bosu forward.
7. Inhale back to center.
8. Exhale and rock it back.
9. Inhale back to center.
10. Perform eight repetitions.
11. Exhale and roll down your spine, vertebra by vertebra.
12. Perform two more sets.
You can vary the exercise by rocking the bosu from side to side. This is great for developing lateral stability.
Here's another exercise:
Jump And Stick
1. Stand on top of the Bosu. Feet are parallel, and open to the width
of your average ski stance.
2. Inhale and jump.
3. As you exhale, land in this sequence: Toes first, then the ball of the
foot, then the heels, then squat. If your body is in correct alignment,
there will be minimal wobbling of the feet upon landing.
Don’t expect, though, to be paralyzed. Remember, athletic balance
is dynamic. There may be some small degree of motion occurring.
You can add agility training to this exercise by tossing a medicine
ball in the air as you jump up, and catching it when you land in the
squat.
Have fun!

Hi! I have not been around, so I need to catch up on Stocky's workout. Eng ch, I almost always suggest the exercise on the ball, so I thought I would use something different. If anyone is in London, this guy is a really knowledgeable trainer:
