August 2006 Yoga Is a Perfect Fit for Skiing By Keith E. Renninson Here it is July and you’re probably wondering is this guy nuts; it’s 90 degrees outside, not a snowflake in sight and he’s focusing on skiing. Well, you do when you love skiing and want to be ready when the time comes to throw the skis in the car and head for the hills. Cross training have become the buzzwords in sports the past couple of years, and they apply to skiing as much a cycling, baseball, basketball or snowboarding. Some cross training activities can only be done before your season begins; then focus changes to just the main activity. Yoga and skiing go together before, during and after the season. As with cycling, yoga poses help keep your level of performance high while you reap year round benefits. Skiing requires a lot from your body and even though a good hot tub, steam or rub down can eliminate some of the sore muscles, yoga will keep you flexible and relatively pain free, if you apply it during the season. In pre-season, as we now find ourselves, is the time to use yoga to strengthen the muscles used in skiing, gain endurance and deeper breathing skills which will aid you when the season starts. I always love the timing of articles in magazines about “it’s time to get into skiing shape” when the season has already started. Sure, some pre-season tune up on the body is needed, but that shouldn’t be a month after it has started; by then you are already behind the game and open yourself up for sore muscles, strains and possible injury. Cross training during the summer months is invaluable and will give you a leg up when November arrives; swim, play tennis, bicycle, run to keep you in shape and interested in fitness through variety, then add yoga to improve flexibility and strength. Keep it up after the season has started to stave off any injury and fatigue for those tough, but fun, double black diamond days. You can buy yoga videos, take a local class or watch for special shows on cable often featured on FitTV and OLN. I like to take an occasional class and use videos, they both offer diversity, privacy and instruction. Have a great summer and see you on the slopes in a few short months. |
