FIT2SHRED-TRAIN LIKE A SNOWBOARDER AT EXTREME FITNESS

THE CLASS

Lots of people love to board, but few put in the preparation to properly condition themselves for the sport. FIT2SHRED is a snowboard-specific athletic group-training program developed exclusively for Extreme Fitness by Mind to Muscle, the Canadian leaders in pro-athlete training. The training methods of the class are used by the riders of ICARUS SHREDUCATION, the premier snowboard-coaching program in North America. The Fit2Shred program is as close as you will get to training like a pro-snowboarder next to being on the team.  The program is designed to work on your athletic movements including: foot speed agility, core strength, leg power, balance and overall muscle conditioning. Train using a multi-disciplinary approach with a variety of athletic equipment including: BOSU balls,  hurdles, agility ladders, cones and extreme boards.

 IN THE CLASS YOU WILL:

  • Learn how to control your body for movement in 360 degrees so that you can move easily on your snowboard in all directions
  • Build explosive power through snowboard-specific plyometric drills so that you can get better air on the hill or in the half pipe
  • Develop core stability and balance so that you will have better control of your board in all conditions
  • Learn the dynamic warm-ups and flexibility exercises that the pros use before they hit the slopes to maximize their ride
