Fall Training - Starts Thursday Sept 27th

Fall Training is every Thursday from 6:30 to about 7:30 at Westview Park starting on Thursday, Sept 27th!   Meet on the North side

The basic idea is to help people transition from summer sports to skiing

For fall training, we do some light jogging, ski-walking/striding, agility work, and some core work
.


Also, here are some videos from our core program that we had designed for us by the amazing coach Twila Cuthbert!

A basic plan with these exercises for getting ready for Skiing would be to very gradually build up to the video exercises (8 exercises in total) twice a week.  You could build up to the reps covered in the post over 4 or 5 weeks.

Once winter starts, its still good to do these at a "maintenance" level of at least once a week.
