You need some good negatives in there (eccentric training) and good old plyometrics. Guys / Gals - training legs does not necessarily equate to what happens when you snowboard!

Quite jealous of your Whistler trip. Look forward to reading a trip report on your blog (which looks cool BTW). Hi Erica, thanks for the comment and the expanded workout program!

My resolution is to get as many trips in as possible, and have fun stories, pics, and people I meet to share on my own blog. ;-) You mentioned Whistler - I actually leave for a 5day trip next Wed! Also re fitness for snowboarding... Just checked out and your post from last year about the snowboarding workout... good stuff! But IMO you need to get more squats in there - haha! Maybe some lunges too... and I'd recommend pushups and/or tricep dips also. GOOD advice about the calf raises though, very helpful on the toe side turns. Hello from Los Angeles!
