Replying to An interesting off-season training idea...
Now, I dont know how I ended up doing this or how the idea came to mind. But I would guess that it obviously has a lot to do with the pretzel phase in skiing: flatland pretzel training in shoes......okay okay just listen and hear me out. Yes, you would look retarded, but it is an incredible workout when you simply go out for a run or nice jog, post up spins back and forth from left 3 to right 3 and incorporate that into a jog. I have been so sick of simple crunches and basic running that I was dieing for something new in the off season and I will tell you that this cant get old....especially when you start throwing in flatland misty 5s to pretzel 5s ( yes i know im landing forward not sideways, but unless you want to keep twisting your ankles i suggest you just land straight forward or straight backwards). Its fun, its similar to skiing? its a great workout for your back, core strength, and legs and once you really get into it, you can do it for about an hour. Thoughts?
