My offseason snowboarding workout drill plan, in order of importance. As important as any of these would simply be being in better overall shape, but these are the drills I try to do during the offseason.
Note – I stop doing the drills within a week of going to the mountain ensure I am well rested.
Most important – Leg Blasters 3x a week:
1x Leg Blaster = 20x body weight squats 20x in-place lunges (10x each leg) + 20x jumping lunges (10x each leg) + 10x squat jumps
Second in importance – strap in.
Strap into your snowboard or training jib board and do some exercises. Time in bindings during the offseason is always valuable. The ones I focus on are:
1. Ollies
2. Standing 180’s / 360’s
3. Nose and tail presses
4. Ollie grabs
Third in importance – Captain's Chair Hanging Weighted Leg Raises.
I use a weighted ball, dumbbells, or kettlebells.
15, 20, and 25 lb. (total, not each leg).
A snowboard, bindings, and boots weigh 15-20 lbs, so this will help get used to raising the board to ollie higher.
If you have access to a trampoline, a tramp board would probably help as much or more than anything above. I have yet to get one though, hence the exclusion.
