Core Exercises for the Snowboarder

Snowboarding is a multidirectional and rotational sport that requires varying strength, mobility and core control. Rotational core control is vital to be able to successfully maneuver yourself down the mountain, respond to the forces from the ground and to accurately control and redirect these forces to improve performance and mitigate risk for injury.

Here are some of my favorite rotational core exercises for snowboarding.

Modified Side Plank with Reach (3 sets x 15 reps)

Medicine Ball Rotational Slams (2 sets x 30 seconds, progressing to 60 seconds)

Half-Kneeling Medicine Ball Wall Toss (2 sets x 30 seconds, progressing to 60 seconds)

Modified Landmine Rotational Press (3 sets x 8-12 seconds)
