mtracz Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Hello All, Do you have any recommendations for bodyweight (low impact) training for strength and mobility for an aging snowboarder? I finished this season sore and would like to start next season strong(er). I hope all is well out there! Best, _Mike Ps. Mods feel free to move this topic if I placed it in the wrong forum.

Corey Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Why limit to bodyweight training? Though doing the thing you want to do is better than doing nothing, by far! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMKW Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 I've used both a physiotherapist and a personal trainer to create programs to increase my strength and flexibility. I'd previously met with physios when I was hurt, and it was fun to go 'between injuries' and ask for help to stay that way. If you have access to any of those professionals, it is a great place to get a personalized plan that'll work for you. For the record, the most benefit I realized was through a stretching and improving my flexibility. Now I'm lighter, stronger, and more flexy-bendy...if only I could keep my left shoulder in its socket I'd be flying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtracz Posted February 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Thank you all for the replies! I've never heard of GMB and will dig in for sure. One other link I've found in the process is for Mobility Duo. I was targeted in Instagram and clicked through. Seems promising. https://www.mobilityduo.com/about/ Thanks again, _Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pow4ever Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 i been using BOSU balancer trainer with good result to help condition know as "getting old". Key point is to be consistent/push but listen to your body; it pay off in the long run. Train hard/push limit but not injured yourself is difficult for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 I've started kung-fu (wing chun style) last year at 56. It's pretty good for cardio, flexibility (we stretched a lot), coordination, strength for upper and lower body (it needs strong quads). Bonus : I can think I'm Ip Man or Bruce Lee ha! ha! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
