Masters Workout of the Week (9/28)

This week’s Masters Workout relates a bit to strength, stabilization, and injury prevention. If you’ve been doing all of our Workouts of the Week, in addition to your own workouts, you may be getting a bit sore! It’s good to take care of this stuff early, or even with preventative measures to keep hinderances like overuse injuries and unwanted soreness at bay.

Within the world of physical therapy there are a lot of tools, movements, and combinations of tools and movements to research and try…but there are also some bodyweight mobility exercises and drills that can be incorporated before workouts, or as a stand-along workout itself, to teach the body good mechanics and awareness.

US Ski and Snowboard has a small-but-useful video library of these types of exercises. Clips from a National Training Group camp a few years ago are compiled to show athletes learning and executing movements and drills from the US Ski Team strength and conditioning coach.

It is well worth trying out some of these exercises, and making them habit! Even a few minutes before (or as part of) a training session a few times a week can really build strength, stability, proprioception, and coordination.
