what you need to doo to improve you riding is work on your core.. if you have strong core muscles your legs wont be hald as sore the next day and neither with your back .in your normal workout try adding in a few squats and also bend your knees and put your back straight against a wall it should look like your sitting on a chair this postion is used alot in riding and will strenghen your muscles
ontop of that try before you goo riding tooo doo a quick cardio workout just too get you blood flowing then work through all your joints and then strech your muscles out it doesn't take longer than 5 mins and will help prevent injury and burning pains in the back of your legs the next day

How long does a figure skating routine usually last?
Energy Drinks each time you snowboard.Biking will really help with your leg muscles. It might be hard if there is snow on the ground but if you go to your local gym they usually have spinning classes. You could also try using a medicine ball and do different excersizes with that like lunges, or start lifting weights.
What are a good brand/style of skis?
I would work on cardio for endurance. The best thing you could do is swim, but if that is not an option you should run or ride a bike. For your legs you can try squats, leg press, leg curls, leg extensions, etc. You also want to work on your groin and do lots of stretching. Make sure your muscles aren't tight when you ride. For your back, I would do crunches, followed by reverse crunches (a lot of gyms have a machine that you can do this). The best way to strengthen an area is to work that plus the opposite side which is why i suggested crunches too. For your arms, normal upper body would be good, presses, curls, etc. You want to do less weight and more reps so you are lean and cut rather than big and bulky.What's your favorite Sasha Cohen program?
Alright. What you really need to focus on is you legs and core(abs and lower back). What i like to do is squats and calf raises for the legs. And you can do crunches on the inflated ball at the gym and back lifts with either 10 or 15 pound weights. If you have access to equipment then you'll be way better off. If not then grab a skateboard and hit the park for an hour a day; that should get you whipped into boarding shape-More Questions & Answers...
