Loves snowboarding, halfpipe and competing. (Athlete, Jun 2021)
"We (snowboarders) focus on a lot of lower body and core. The first year I did not work on any upper body unless the workout included holding dumbbells. Now I do very little upper body, and I concentrate more on body maintenance. As a snowboarder, you do a lot of jumping, landings, and snapping through your core and lower body. You have to be able to take some compression landings as well." (mensjournal.com, 2012)
