PowderStrong
Strength and Conditioning for Sliding Athletes
It’s not long now before the snow starts falling, the backcountry is skiable, and finally, the lifts start turning.
Before you know it, it’s going to be time to get the gear tuned up, be sure the pants still fit, and order that sweet new shiny toy from…wherever.
Are your legs up to it? Your endurance? If the season stared right now, are you ready? And could you go all season without injury, tweak, pain, or fatigue?
That’s why we created PowderStrong: to be sure we were doing everything possible to be ready for a snow season where we weren’t the last ones on the skin track or the last in line at the lift.
So knees won’t hurt, and shoulders can handle a few bumps with the ground (and maybe some beginners). And so, when the season shifts from sliding to riding or running, we don’t need to take time off; instead, we can transition into the multi-sport play SLC makes possible in the spring.
The Logistics
PowderStrong will consist of three series of classes:
Series I: Sept 23 – Nov 1. Completed! FOCI: Building endurance base (faster recovery, better blood flow to muscles, fat loss), and building muscle (improving motor patterns, reducing injury risk, strengthening tendons and ligaments).
Series II: Nov 3 – Dec 20. FOCI: Add anaerobic (high-intensity) work capacity on top of the established endurance base, and develop power/speed output (jumping and landing, explosiveness) with the muscles developed in Series I.
Series III: Jan 6 – Feb 14. FOCI: In-season recovery and rehab, rebuilding and rebalancing the weekend warriors among us. In particular, hamstrings and core tend to be overlooked during the winter season, yet they’re essential to the endurance of quads and the durability of your knees.
Classes will be held at Wasatch Fitness Academy, 1295 Miller Ave.
In addition to the PowderStrong classes, participants will have access to our 3M classes (Movement, Mobility, Meditation) at 630pm on Thursdays, to assist recovery.
PowderStrong classes have already started, but it’s not too late for you to join.
