A valuable addition to your snowsports knowledge March 5, 2007

7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Great read. A very informative book and a must for anyone from complete newcomers to either sport to seasoned riders/skiers looking to improve their workouts and exercise routines for maximum impact on their snowboarding or skiing. Just as it says in the blurb above: flexibility, endurance, strength, balance and plyometric training are all introduced to the reader, and expanded upon to include examples as to why each of these is important in both sports. Exercises are demonstrated by use of extensive, step-by-step photos, with information on muscles worked etc., as well as suggestions to increase effectiveness as you progress.
The book seems to have a slight snowboard-dominant slant in terms of the balance exercises involved, though this may just be because I am a snowboarder rather than a skier and have therefore read it in that way. Just as a note - if you are just starting out snowboarding and looking at this book to get fit as you learn, it would go great with Kevin Ryan's "The Illustrated Guide to Snowboarding". I read this book before I started riding 6 years ago and it was extremely useful (it doesn't focus on fitness as such but is an essential learning aid).
