Nowadays it’s really hard to lump snowboarders into a group of “athletes” that spend their days training hard and staying in shape for competition.  There are probably hundreds of different kinds of snowboarders from the kids who can’t ride with out being intoxicated to the kids who go snowboarding and then straight to the gym to hit the heavy iron.  This article is for those of you who want to stay in some sort of shape for snowboarding this summer, and I’m happy to report that it really IS a thirty minute workout at most!

Lose the Iron

You can absolutely forget about lifting any weights.  I know a guy who was a bodybuilder and once he was hired to a local landscaping crew.  You figure that with all that strength he would have no problem digging and lifting all day.  By the end of his first day he couldn’t really do much work.  He could barely even pick up his shovel.  Why, with countless hours a day at the gym did this happen? Lifting weights might build muscle, but it is a completely useless kind of muscle… slow twitch. Slow twitch muscles are built due to continuous expansion and contraction of the muscle throughout the day… i.e. slow, controlled, repetitive motions.  Slow repetitive movements have no place in landscaping and absolutely no place in snowboarding.

You are a snowboarder… you aren’t looking to be moving nice and slow and controlled.  You want to build up the fast twitch muscles.  Fast twitch muscles contract quickly and explosively.  They are there when you make a quick switch from your snowboards heel edge to your toe edge.  They are helping out when you get to the lip and do that explosive pop into the sky!  They are especially there when you mess up and have to rely on quick reflexes to either fix your situation or brace for impact.  Read more...

Alternative sports like snowboarding or skateboarding have been growing in popularity of late. As a consequence, more and more products are available from manufacturers of equipment such as snowboards goggles or skateboards clothes. Snowboarding protective gear can be purchased from an online snowboarding shop, offering various types of brands and designs for those interested, including accessories like snowboards goggles. Outfits for skateboarders are also available, with a wide range of skateboards clothes to choose from. Protective gear is essential when practicing these sports, due to their dangerous nature, and this is why such devices are becoming more and more popular among those who enjoy them.

Snowboarding protective gear is very important, as it can prevent the snowboarder from getting injured. Among the devices meant to offer protection, such as helmets, pads, or other guards, snowboards goggles are an essential piece of equipment. The role of snowboards goggles is to protect your eyes from the bright sunlight reflected by the snow. Snowboards goggles are also extremely useful when it comes to protecting the eyes against the cold wind or against snow. Anyone who is interested in protective devices for snowboarding can find them at an online snowboarding shop, which also sells equipment for skateboarding.

No snowboarder should underestimate the importance of wearing snowboarding protective gear, including snowboards goggles. On bright days, and at high altitudes, the snow reflects the strong sunlight and anyone who is snowboarding can get snow blindness. The effect of the reflecting snow can damage your sight greatly, so make sure you’re wearing snowboards goggles whenever you practice your favorite sport. Such eyewear, which is available to purchase from an online snowboarding shop, is also helpful when it comes to preventing wind or snow getting into eyes and temporarily affecting your vision. In this way, snowboards goggles will protect you from all types of injuries you risk when you’re high up on the mountain slopes.  Read more...
